Although if sales were 59K at the end of November, as one report suggested, that would mean:

41K sales in 5 months. That's 8K a month. Or 2K a week. And that would likely have been reported.

I thought I saw 66K before.

That would be 34K in 5 months is 6+K a month, or 1.5K a week. That too would have likely been reported.

Oh...I hope Haley gets to perform on X Factor USA this year. It's possible that she is signed to a label and puts out an EP in time to have a song out at some point.

Haley's voice is so shot..and she looks exhausted. Still a good performance though.

Hmm...

Carolina Halien had posted a news article/press release that seems to indicate the expectation was that Haley would perform a song from "Step Up Revolution."

"This Friday is the singer guest stars soundtrack step up the revolution, Haley Reinhart, "said Crystal Rompis, PR of FremantleMedia. presence meant that the contestants Haley more motivated to be able to go international. Its presence to infuse the spirit of the X Factor finalists Indonesia. "Rreinhart presence is expected to boost the morale of the finalists for the stage musical career in Indonesia and possibly the world stage," he added. Haley Reinhart to a rendition of "Bennie and the Jets" which is the soundtrack of The Step Up Revolution, according to tonight's X Factor theme is "Movie Soundtrack".

I get the impression that Haley said, "I''m not doing 'Undone," I'm going to be performing 'Bennie and the Jets." And they took that to mean they had the name of the song wrong.

One of the earliest uses of Bennie and the Jets in a movie soundtrack (1975):

Believe the numbers we have seen are SoundScan #s that report sales in the US & Canada.

Do we know if Listen Up! has been widely distributed outside of the U.S. and Canada? Do people have to download it? And aren't iTunes and Amazon downloads sometimes restricted by geography?

I don't see any reason for the label to restrict legitimate downloads, but maybe there are some legalities involved?

[makefigure8s]

It was distributed in the Philippines at least. Maybe more markets in Asia. Don't think it hit Europe, South America or Africa.

iTunes I am fairly sure is available world wide -- though it wasn't early on. Amazon was always available ww (in fact, I think I remember it leaking before release day through Amazon.fr) though I don't think they have the deluxe version.

[Miguel]

So 100K is feasible given Haley has more international appeal than most Idol contestants.

I didn't notice it at first but after watching it back her voice does sound a little strained. And I bet she is exhausted, it's hard being so far away from home for so long and she's been doing alot of shows/gigs the last 2 weeks.

She'll be fine when she comes home, just needs time to adjust back to timezones and relax for a few days before getting back to work in the studio.
