1 John Mayer delux 2 John Mayer 3 50 Cent 4 KRIS ALLEN 5 Leona Lewis 6 Glee 7 Carrie Underwood 8 Owl City 9 Bon Jovi 10 Justin Bieber
I expect Bieber to jump up, I bet his sales will be huge, so I think Kris will at least debut top 5, just WHERE? I bought this on iTunes and will get a physical copy after I get home from work.

She has good taste. I'll ignore the fact that she even mentioned the other guy. I would like to get this album but it looks like I'll have to wait until Christmas. I am broke. I wish I could buy it for you but I bought 4 CDs today and a video game yesterday and am going away for the weekend :( Anyway, I took a SERIOUS leap of faith buying this today, seeing how the clips did nothing for me at all, save one or two songs. I REALLY like LLWD though. I would almost say the album is worth buying just for that song alone.

I appreciate the thought, boo. ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png) No worries. I am very patient. I'll pick up the album. I enjoy generic, easy-listening HAC-leaning Pop/Rock so this album should be right up my alley. Edit: I'd be content with the album going Top 10 on the Billboard 200. Competition will be intense and I don't see him opening with big numbers. 80k should be doable but I am fearing he may see something "shocking" like 50k. I'm hoping the latter isn't the case.

I really like this CD. I think it's a great pop record especially considering the small amount of time these idols have with the tour and having to get it out so quickly. Plus, it sounds like Kris really did quite a bit of writing on this. There are a few tracks I could do without, but all in all, love it. Hope he does well with it.

The Truth is worth the cost of the CD alone. WOW. That song actually left me speechless. Written All Over My Face is solid. I am almost finished listening to Bring It Back and I like that song too. LLWD is still ridiculously catchy and great though. I want more slow, dramatic songs like The Truth from Kris because to me, that is his forte. Anonymous MB20/The Fray with stronger vocals does not really suit him. That's how I felt when listening to Before We Come Undone. It's clear that Kris can sing his a$$ off but he needs the right material. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.

Glad to see your leap of faith paid off (at least up to whatever songs you've listened to) :)

The Truth is amazing. That's the highlight of the album for me. And... Red Guitar is my jam! ![:d](http://images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif)

Written All Over My Face might be my favorite!
"It was easier to kiss you than to tell you how I feel." AMAZING lyric!

Good luck Kris. I'm predicting 70/80K but hope he can pull another Jordin. Slow but steady and eventually at least go gold with the album.

I think this is pretty decent considering he doesnt have a top10 out right now.
Currently downloading the album, havent had a chance to listen yet.

Me too. I was expecting those kinds of numbers. However, that also makes him the lowest debut of any Idol winner ever, which sucks for him. Jordin's probably very glad to give up that title!

Such a pointless "title." Chances are, next year's winner will have shitty sales as well. If overall sales are down, then why should we expect Idol sales to stay high?

Those debut sales for an AI winner are horrible but to be expected. I hope the album can stay afloat.

Thats actually more than I expected considering he's only at number 9 on itunes. It's going to be hard for him to keep any momentum tho unless LLWD really picks up speed.

If overall sales are down, then why should we expect Idol sales to stay high? Maybe because these folks are seen by 25-30 million people over the course of several months. NOBODY else gets that kind of exposure.

Those sales figures aren't too bad. Hopefully it can manage to sell a decent amount in the long run.

My little monkey did me proud. I am glad the album took on a more singer-songwriter tone that I was expecting and not silly The Fray-lite. There are moments of that but even then, the sound of Kris's voice, strong and clear, always makes the songs work out. Good job Kris! I am glad I voted for you and made the decision to buy this.
