Good morning AC, and everyone.

Shame on me.

Good afternoon all.
I am finally up and out after a very bad summer cold.  One of the bad
effects of being out in public again is that now I am exposed to all those
bugs.  Oh well, it is worth it because I will be able to check on Clay's
CD in real stores.  I am really looking forward to moving them to the front
of rows. 
Last week I went to Target to see if there were any MOAM CD's and if
they could order for me.  The answer was no CD's and no ordering
allowed.  I need to find some place else to buy besides Amazon.  Our
local B&N doesn't sell CD's.

It is so exciting to see numbers again and especially to see Clay at
# 1 where he belongs.  Thanks to all who posted the info,

Hi All,
TGIF
Glad to see the numbers

[clayMaine-iac]

Can't wait for the new single to be released!!  Bring it on!!

Look at this:

Idol sales report: Debut singles + downloads
As a follow-up to the update on the Season 5 finalists' download totals, I also wanted to find out how many downloads each Idol debut single had accumulated, so I could factor that in to the all-time standings and see how Taylor and Katharine were stacking up against their predecessors. I got 'em, thanks again to Nielsen SoundScan, so I've incorporated them into a chart that simply lists for each single total CD sales (possibly slightly out of date for the older ones), download sales and a total. Here goes:

Rank Artist/Titles                                                  Sales + Downloads  Sales      Downloads 

1.        Clay/This Is the Night/Bridge Over T. Water   1.01 million            960,000    52,000

2.        Kelly/A Moment Like This/Before Your Love     814,000                626,000   188,000       

3.        Ruben/Superstar/Flying Withoug Wings            759,000                747,000    32,000

4.        Carrie/Inside Your Heaven/Independence Day   741,000                455,000   286,000

5.        Taylor/Do I Make You Proud/Takin'...Streets    600,000                417,000   183,000

6.      * Fantasia/I Believe/Summertime/Chain...Fools 501,000                405,000     96,000

7.        Bo/Inside Your Heaven/Vehicle                           426,000                346,000      80,000

8.      * Diana/Dreams/Don't Cry Out Loud/I Believe     237,000                 201,000     36,000 

9.        Katharine/My Destiny/Over the Rainbow          231,000                 117,000    114,000

* Had three songs on CD single

So we see Clay is still the champ, although for some reason he benefited less from the download revolution than did Kelly, even though Kelly's single came out even earlier in the pre-modern era. Taylor is going to have to sell a lot of singles to pass Carrie, and my take is that he won't make it. But Katharine should pass Diana next week to escape the Idol souvenir single cellar.
