6/1: Encores CD debuts at no. 3
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
American Idol’s Season 5 Encores CD debuted at No. 3 behind the “High School Musical” soundtrack and the Dixie Chicks’ latest. It sold 154,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the most of any of the compilations to date, yet again solidifying the popularity of the franchise.
Then again, 154,000 is barely 1/2 of 1 percent of the typical no. of viewers of “Idol’ any given week. I think most folks are waiting for the releases of particular favorite artists. This is merely a souvenir for those who like souvenirs. And if you like only one or two tracks and you download, you can save yourself some money and just buy those off iTunes.

Why is the Dixie Chicks 1st week CD sales described as “rocketing”? The sales are 50% of the the 1st week sales of their 1st 2 albums and less than 70% of the recent release ( 3 weeks ago) of the new Rascal Flatts CD. Do we detect a hint of liberal wishful thinking bias?
