Kris is taping an interview (& performance?) for Extra! at The Grove tomorrow at 3:30 pm L.A. time. Then later that day he is having an album listening party. It's not open to the public, but Extra! is going to give out a few passes to the party .

His debut album has sold 330k to date; I wonder if TYC will even reach half that mark.

I think this will do at least 150K. I'm hoping if the singles start catching on he could at least match his first album's sales.

All the upbeat tracks are so fun and catchy. "Rooftops," "My Weakness," "Better With You," and "Monster" all have me getting my groove on. I'm totally going to be blasting this all summer.

I don't know if this album will sell as muh as KATA. I hope it does, because it is a much stronger album overall and it deserves to be commercially successful. But there are a lot of really good albums that don;t sell much and there are a lot or mediocre albums that sell millions.
HDD and BB are predicting Adam Lambert will sell 70-80K his first week. Back in 2009, Kris sold just over 40% of what Adam did in their respective 1st weeks. If that 40% thing held up this time around (which won't necessarily happen), then Kris would open with around 24K-32K his first week. Honestly, if he ends up doing that, it would be a pretty good opening week. But will this album do that? I have no clue.

Aside from the very sleepy last 3rd of the album (I would've swapped one of the ballads out for an uptempo), this is a very solid pop effort. The first 6 tracks are great.
All said, I see him doing 30-40k first week. My Weakness or Better With You will need to be the second single for this album to do anything after that. Confused about what went wrong with Visions of Love as I thought that was a very good song.

I didn't realize that a physical copy of the deluxe version of his album will only be available on his official site (digital everywhere else). I guess I may have to pre-order his album then!

And you get exclusive acoustic songs! No one here has received an email about shipping, have they? I was expecting it this weekend, so hopefully we'll get notifications tomorrow. I know when I ordered Kelly Clarkson's, I got a notification (that it was cancelled, but that was due to a credit card snafu) on Friday, and I think my Daughtry pre-order arrived a day before its release.

My Weakness Out Alive Monster Blindfolded Rooftops Loves Me Not
The album is definitely more immediate and gratifying than his debut and after hearing it in full, I think TVOL as the lead single was a mistake considering how generic and forgettable it sounds in comparison to other records. Everything about the album from vocals to production has a fresh, clean cut feel about it that gives it a summertime vibe so I think the proper single releases from here on out could generate album sales.
Side note: He is quite the handsome fella as well. His photographer did a great job with the liner notes.

There are several gems in the first half, but it really starts to drag starting from the 7th song. Overall it's a much better effort than his debut album. I really believe that Kris is a great songwriter and can do even better if he can venture out of his comfort zone a bit. overall the lyrical theme, music arrangement and composition are too middle of the road, and make the album sound a bit on the bland side. Another thing I don't like is somehow his voice sounds either strained or like being in a can or sth on several songs. But this is a minor issue because I never particularly like his voice. I think of him more of a songwriter type.
Kris and Meiko should form a group. I really like Meiko's voice and their duet sounds very charming. :)

Loves Me Not and You Got A Way are two of my favorite songs. They album certainly doesn't drag from the 7th song and on.

Not yet. I got my Monica New Life fan edition the day before its release, so I'm wondering if I'll be getting my Kris Allen CD a bit later since I pre-ordered on Friday.

I pre-ordered this album back in the beginning of April (the Fan-Edition). Checked the website last week and it said it was shipped but I never received an email stating it was shipped. Not really good handling with it not even being notified or anything but cannot wait to get the album. Haven't been able to check the mail today so don't know if it is here yet or not though. Have not listened to it yet want to wait until I have the album

Yep; I checked on Saturday to find that it was shipped on Friday...still no email despite the original order email stating they'd send one when it was about to be shipped. Not sure if it's arrived yet, since I'm at school; I'll find out shortly from my family. *crosses fingers* lol

This is really solid, love the general warmth of the album. Shame it won't do much on the charts :(
My favorite track at the moment is "Teach Me How Love Goes"

I didn't order through his site since I got such terrible service from myplaydirect pre-ordering Kelly's album. My Amazon copy will be here tomorrow though. I'm anxious to listen to it! I liked what I heard on the stream.
