Frankly, I was expecting a somewhat higher number mainly because <a href="http://aistats.blogspot.com/2012/10/christmas-with-scotty-mccreery-set-to.html" target="_blank">almost exactly one year ago</a> the estimated sales for his "Christmas With Scotty McCreery" was 35K to 40K (it ended up selling 41K that first week.) I was guessing this much stronger album of more radio friendly country music would sell substantially more than his Christmas collection (by more than just 5K more). That 40K-45K estimate is <a href="http://aistats.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-voice-winner-cassadee-popes-first.html" target="_blank">exactly the same estimate</a> HDD gave for Cassadee Pope's "Frame by Frame" which ended up selling 43K, so they were spot on with her. Nonetheless, Scotty will have the #1 selling country album almost certainly, since Cassadee's sales should drop off and no other country artist is close to his numbers. Plus every HDD estimate for his albums has started slightly low so hopefully he can at least end up closer to 50K. Hopefully with that more modest starting first week number his sales will not drop off as quickly, especially with him performing at large venues like the <a href="http://www.ncstatefair.org/2013/Entertainment/DortonConcerts.htm" target="_blank">North Carolina State Fair</a> and his televised appearances. I am curious if they will do another <a href="http://www.qvc.com/Scotty-McCreery-Christmas-and-Clear-As-Day-2-CD-Set-Movies-&-Music-Electronics.product.F09977.html?sc=F09977-Targeted&cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-7-_-F09977&catentryImage=http://images-p.qvc.com/is/image/f/77/f09977.001?$uslarge$" target="_blank">QVC type promotion</a> like last year, but this year they could sell "See You Tonight" with CWSM, or possibly sell all three albums as a set now. ("Order now and not only will you receive the new 'See You Tonight' album, but his gold Christmas collection and his platinum debut album as well, all three for only $19.99!") I am also curious if his buddies at <a href="http://www.bojangles.com/buzz/detail/scotty-mccreery-bojangles-town" target="_blank">Bojangles</a> will try to use his new album with some type of promotion like they did with the Christmas album last year. Come on, Bojangles, how much chicken did Scotty help you sell this past year? Here is my remade chorus of "See You Tonight" to help then use Scotty's music to sell some chicken:  "I go to Bojangles, where the chicken is hot  Listen to me pulling into the lot  I look in the windows, see the dining room lights,  Bojangles, bird, I gotta eat you tonight  The way the sweet tea's flowing, flowing  Got me wishing I was holding, holding  Holding a drumstick tight, with a buiscuit, that's right  Bird, I gotta eat you tonight, tonight, tonight  Bird, I gotta eat you tonight, tonight , tonight"
