Kris & Haley's albums deserve to do much better.

Does anyone know where Madonna and MDNA are this week? Probably #8?, but I still want to know. Need it to hold even a little bit from here until the tour.

It was #77 last week, so I imagine it's even lower this week.

Yeah, but it's held this week in some other markets like the UK, so I'm hoping the US is similar.

Why didn't they mention anything about Adam being the first openly gay person to debut at #1?

19/Interscope Idol contestant Haley Reinhart emerges with her well-received debut, Listen Up!, which is on target for 15-20k.

WOW! She deserves better than this.

Early predictions today.

I knew Kris and Haley would have awful numbers. Kris especially looks bad, with Adam pushing close to 80k.

[Kworb]

15-20k for Kris is better than I expected

[2AM]

Kimbra!
I'm so happy.

[Crazytowel]

Great start for John I had no reason to be worried.

Shame for Kris and Haley Thought they'd both be able to clear 40k.

19/Interscope Idol contestant Haley Reinhart emerges with her well-received debut, Listen Up!, which is on target for 15-20k.

Eighth season Idol winner Kris Allen’s 19/RCA sophomore album, Thank You Camellia, is looking at 15-20k as well after his debut scored 80k out of the box in Nov. ‘09.

Can you not? They're not even competing anymore and haven't been since the AI finale.

I heard Norah's album was discounted on Amazon.

The comparison was too apparent, since Adam JUST released. And past contestants are always compared, that's just the way it is, no shade.

Veteran Dove Award-winning Fair Trade/Columbia Christian act MercyMe’s The Hurt & the Healer should debut with 35-45k in sales.

Wow, that low? This deserves so much better.

Yeah but with such awful numbers, the least you could do is show some empathy for Kris fans.

Yeah you get to gloat as usual, but that doesn't mean it's right.

Congrats to Adam, but major props to Beach House for getting that Top 10!!

Empathy? There was no tragedy, he just had awful sales. I'm not an Adam stan, so I have nothing to gloat about.

Carrie is a winner, Adam is a runner-up, and they weren't on the same season. Why would they be compared? When Phillip/Jessica release their first album, the first thing Billboard is going to do is compare their numbers to previous winners. Just the way it goes.

Kris stands a pretty good chance at getting dropped and we all know how dropped AI finalists do.

And of course you're not.
