"Music Speaks" by Candice Glover Enters at #14 on BillBoard 200 Album Chart

blue plus = Candice, orange= Daughtry, red= Scotty, yellow = Ruben, green = Mandisa, lt blue = Carrie

Despite selling only about half what Lee DeWyze's "Live It Up" sold in the fall of 2010, Candice Glover's "Music Speaks" actually enters the BillBoard 200 album chart higher at #14 (the blue plus on my chart)  compared to Lee's #19 entry. Blame it on lower sales now than in 2010 and also releasing the album at the end of February instead of the beginning of November when a lot other albums are being released. After Candice's performance on the show last night in front of millions of viewers, hopefully a large number of them will be impressed enough to go buy a copy of "Music Speaks". If she is lucky she may actually peak higher than #14, we will have to wait and see.

Interestingly two other American Idols popped back onto the chart, two other ladies to give Candice some company. Mandisa's "Overcomer" re-entered again (it has done so several times) which was #198 two weeks ago, off the chart last week and #167 this week. Carrie Underwood's 2012 release "Blown Away" also decided to re-enter the chart at #189. It was released about 22 months ago but still selling -- amazing!

The other three Idols on the chart (six total this week!) are the same three guys from last week. Daughtry's "Baptized" again leads the guy Idols at #90 (from #99 last week), a nice improvement for him. And Scotty McCreery's "See You Tonight" is holding perfectly steady with a second week at #107. Ruben Studdard's "Unconditional Love" is sliding a bit however, from #106 last week to #141 in its third week.
