Mass pumpkin pie consumption apparently induces a national record buying binge, benefiting, in this case, Idol alum Chris Daughtry who sold an intense 303,677 copies of his debut album Daughtry this week, landing him at the #2 spot on the charts. To be fair to the Beatles and Snoop (whose records came in behind Daughtry at number four and five respectively,) this post-Thanksgiving shopping week was good for everybody and anybody.
Jay-Z debuted almost as high as insiders were boasting he would, selling 680,0052 copies of Kingdom Come and securing the #1 spot on the charts. Albums that were previously slowing down sales-wise – Fergie’s Dutchess, Carrie Underwood’s Some Hearts, the Killers’ Sam’s Town and even that Nickelback nightmare that just won’t end All The Right Reasons – saw serious boosts this week. On the down side: 119 more people felt the need to purchase Panic! At the Disco’s record this week than felt compelled to buy Tom Waits’ excellent three-disc opus Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers, & Bastards. On the up side: Now those people own Panic! At the Disco’s record.
