I believe DYHWIH has went recurrent. I wish whomever chooses the Xmas singles would pick OHN or TFN.
Anyhoo, shouldn't we start seeing promo for her special soon? I would think they would start airing commercials and maybe something in TVGuide. Cover perhaps?

DYHWIH went recurrent. Apparently, Christmas songs can be current for 2 years. On their third year, they go recurrent. This year would be DYHWIH's third. Anyhoo, shouldn't we start seeing promo for her special soon? I would think they would start airing commercials and maybe something in TVGuide. Cover perhaps? On another board (which you used to go to, btw, but I haven't seen you around there in a while), a poster said that there are full-page ads for the TV special on the newest issues of Country Weekly and OK!.

Okay, thanks! This is the last year for "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" then.
Yes, there should be a lot of promo on fox soon, especially during Thanksgiving I would think. Well it is being aired twice, so there may be more promo in between the initial airing and the airing that's closer to Christmas, just a guess. That would be cool, something for TV Guide, haven't seen her there since Idol?
So she's roughly at 532k in three weeks.

T, do you read others posts? That was just posted! lol
Desi, I still go there, I just haven't been posting. Nice to hear that there is some sort of promo going on. I do expect to start seeing commercials prob next week too. I hope the special does well as I want to see it become an annual thing.

I have a question for any chart experts here: Since Play On is already Gold, it should definitely ship Platinum by the Holidays, right? So she should be platinum by the end of the year. Very cool.
I still wonder what the holdup is for Carnival Ride's 3x platinum certification? You don' t think they are waiting for it to be 4x platinum, do you? That could take years. lol

FWIW, Carrie's album has been moving up on Amazon this morning. It's at number 2 right now (Susan Boyle of course being #1).

It was discounted at 6.99 for a short period this morning on amazon's music lightning deal, but that supply sold out extremely quickly and now it's back at 9.99. When I checked at midnight last night, they were selling PO at 11.99 and I was like WTF, but maybe that was just a temporary glitch.

^ I know, right. If I were ever a famous celeb, I don't know how I'd deal with it. It's crazy.
Carrie looks beautiful as always!

What, no love for Mama's Song, This Time, Look At Me or Play On? ??? I have a question for any chart experts here: Since Play On is already Gold, it should definitely ship Platinum by the Holidays, right? So she should be platinum by the end of the year. Very cool It'll definitely ship platinum (if it hasn't already). Good chance it'll Soundscan a million too since an average of 100k+ in the weeks leading up to Christmas is still a reasonable estimate, even in this era of declining sales.

Okay thanks for the heads up.
Apparently, during tonight's SYTYCD show, there is a commercial promoting Carrie's Holiday Special. I'll try to cap that.

This special looks like it will be great and lol @ them using the dress Carrie was wearing during Idol's finale (or a real close look-alike) when Carrie is bribing Ryan.

I miss this sort of recap from the "Some Hearts" thread! tw lw tw total: beginning sales week 1 317.695 999% 317.811 (11-3) 1 3 128.443 (-60%) 446,254 (11-10) 3 9 86, 218 (-33%) 532,472 (11-17)
I'll make a cleaner edit of this tomorrow, too lazy now.
btw this Christmas special is going to do so much good for Carrie's sales and her image. I can't wait. How have Christmas specials fared in the past? I would assume this would do well, irregardless because of the Idol affiliation. But does the Faith Hill special give her sales spike, or is it a different kind of special?

Anyone think that Play On will receive a 20-30% boost?

The AMA performance will impact sales for this week, so I expect a slight spike, though this combined with the increased Hot AC airplay, she doesn't have much other promo going on this week besides the CNN Hero's and the fact the album will be on sale at Best Buy, and already was on sale on Amazon today and sold out quite fast, but who knows how much of an impact that will have. With the Black Friday sales and that, plus buzz from the upcoming TV special (which I think itself will do wonders for her sales) My current estimation would be a 35-50 percent sales boost, being optimistic.
I may revise as more info on iTunes, Amzon etc. rankings post throughout the week.
