Hopefully the final SoundScan numbers will see the top two releases selling 100K+.
I forgot that Lady A. was releasing a holiday album- it's the first major one to enter the holiday album sweepstakes, I gather.

Wow, I wasn't expecting Darius Rucker to have a six-figure debut. That's quite impressive, considering he has yet to demonstrate longevity as a solo artist and is essentially a singles artist. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus How is he essentially a singles artist? He was basically the country equivalent of Lady Gaga in terms of commercial performance the past 2 years. His last album held up very well with a string of big hits and sold well. The first single from this album is off to a good start and built up anticipation for the new album. He's established himself as a core artist at the format, and there was quite a deal of anticipation for his new record from his new fanbase. HDD always tends to underestimate country artists.

Darius' last album sold 1.4 million. That's really good!

Disappointing, I at least expected her to make the bottom top 200. I guess it will chart once the holidays draws near but still a shame :(
