Such a pointless "title." Chances are, next year's winner will have s**tty sales as well. If overall sales are down, then why should we expect Idol sales to stay high? well last year's winner and runner up both had high sales, so it's not just a general decline. David Cook also had a hit with TOML throughout the summer that kept him out there, and Archie's Crush had been released for a while before and had much more time to get to a good spot in the charts. Had Kris had either of those, I don't think it's unreasonable to have expected his sales to be in the 150-200k range. I'm not denying that there is a difference in fanbase sizes at all, but if you factor in the overall decline in record sales over the past few years, he is a little bit above Jordin. Unless next year's winner connects with the audience like Cook did, they could easily become the lowest selling Idol winner as well. That's what I was saying.

I gave his album a listen last night but nothing really moved me aside from Live Like We're Dying and Red Guitar. The songs are good but generic to me.

Sad that Kris is looking to be the least successful AI winner with his debut. He CLEARLY doesn't deserve it. This album is much better than the following debuts: Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks.

I guess Kris would be best

He should have actually gotten a slot to perform at the AMA's. He won Idol, so I don't see the logic in Mr Lambert landing one over him. Apart from the obvious shock value factor, that is.

I'd be suprised if this album sells 250,000 in the next year.

not bad sales - I mean, in the grand scheme of things. I hope he stays consistent.
