Reality--probably overstocked locally! LOL. Anyway, keeping the faith for Round 2 of "Listen Up"...
Best Buy is headquartered in the Minneapolis-St Paul area so their buyer could have been inundated with the sounds of Haley. But I don't think it is too far fetched to think Interscope is gearing up for another go. That second tweet above is from a Walmart in Arizona.
We heard one rumor "Undone" would go to radio in November. If it does, it would make sense to have the album in stores in time for Black Friday. In selling to retail buyers/distributors, they could also point out the other songs on the album that have been featured on TV. It could be those mentions have already led to an increase in sales.
The other possibility is Interscope has been pushing the album for a Grammy nomination and they have let the trade know it. The 55th Annual Grammy Award nominations will be announced from a special concert in Nashville on December 5th.
In any case, I think it is unusual for an album that was not a top seller to be replenished in bulk at top retailers five months after its release. If the restocking is widespread, and none of the factors above are at play, Haley's album must have been enjoying steady sales all along.
