[Miguel]

#96

Kimbra - who has been on the charts the same amount of time as Haley - is right ahead of her at #95, Tenacious D and Lana Del Rey are just below at #97 and #98 respectively.

An asterisk indicates Lana's album is one of the "Titles with the greatest airplay and sales gains this week."

Billboard numbers are in, and here are the rounded totals from Idol Chatter:

*Listen Up! (4,000, -26%, 36,000) (#170 BB200): http://content.usatoday.com/communities/...-H4_9niETA

The drop of 26% is in line with industry standards, and if form holds it's probably going to be Haley's last week in the BB Top 200.

Oddly, the best news for Haley this week may have come from Season 9 3rd place finalist Casey James, whose very belated album was released 2 months before Haley's, and pretty much fizzled along with his 1st single. Then, yesterday he exploded out of oblivion with a remarkable 57 adds (country) for his 2nd single Crying On A Suitcase. This pretty much guarantees he's got a mega-hit on his hands, and holds out hope LU! can be rescued by BoB and Oh My!

At some point, the availability of physical CDs dries up and sales will be driven by online purchases. She'll need a hit and big boost in sales of Listen Up! to get it back in stores. You would think a WM "exclusive" would come with a contractual agreement requiring them to stock the CDs for some minimum time period.

Sadly, this week marks the end of Haley's run in the BB Top 200. The official numbers: Haley Reinhart, Listen Up! (2,000, -32%, 39,000) http://content.usatoday.com/communities/...-s8U9niETA

As I said on twitter: "So, only 6k in combined album sales for @HaleyReinhart and @IAmCaseyAbrams this week. Fuck's wrong with this world?"

I don't know. Maybe there were too many over confident orangutans involved in the reproduction and training of today's younger generation?

I think it was my additional purchase of 4 more cds I gave to people.

I better buy a few more (I'm not made of money but the album was worth 10 to me) and try to get them into the hands of people who will both like it and have it playing for their other friends to hear too.

I stopped at Walmart to buy another CD for my sister...who loves the album...nothing, nada, not one. What's with the lack of CDs at Walmart? Scotty's filled the racks for months...nice logistics promo people.
