10/31: Carrie Underwood’s huge first week sales
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Carrie Underwood’s “Carnival Ride” sold even more than first-day estimates of about 425K and 450K. She ended up selling about 537,000 copies, according to hitsdailydouble.com. The Nielsen SoundScan numbers will be out later today but they usually are pretty close. That’s far bigger than her first CD, which sold about 315K two years ago. She has been on a major promo push, showing up on several talk shows and doing the National Anthem for game three of the World Series. And it doesn’t hurt that her first CD is nearing 6 million in sales and her current single “So Small” is in the top 5 on the country charts.
Mandisa also is selling a Christmas EP, available for download today and in stores November 20. It’s called “Christmas Joy EP.”
And Jordan’s cover for her first CD out November 20 looks like this:
She looks good, eh?
And according to mjsbigblog,, popmeister David Foster (Celine Dion, the Bee Gees, Barbra Streisand, Michael Buble) told an audience at Lincoln Center he is producing Kat McPhee’s next CD.
