It looks like in the past two weeks Kellie Pickler's "The Woman I Am" and Mandisa's "Overcomer" have fallen off the <a href="http://www.mjsbigblog.com/billboard-chart-date-01112014.htm" target="_blank">BillBoard 200</a>, all the winners who were on the chart two weeks ago are all still there (plus Daughtry as the only remaining "non-winner" on the chart as we go into 2014. Closing out the year "stronger" (yes, that is a pun) is Kelly Clarkson's "Wrapped in Red" Christmas album which is still in the Top 10 after nine weeks on the chart with<a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/5855135/beyonce-leads-for-third-week-at-no-1-on-billboard-200-chart" target="_blank"> 62K more</a> in sales. That puts her total at 764K since she was at 702K last week <a href="http://www.roughstock.com/blog/country-album-chart-news-the-week-of-january-2-2013-garth-brooks-duck-dynasty-cassadee-pope-danielle-bradbery-scotty-mccreery" target="_blank">according to Roughstock</a>. For some reason <a href="http://www.roughstock.com/blog/country-album-chart-news-the-week-of-january-2-2013-garth-brooks-duck-dynasty-cassadee-pope-danielle-bradbery-scotty-mccreery" target="_blank">Roughstock</a> did not list her album this week.<br /><br />Who Roughstock does list, however, which MJ's does not is Carrie Underwood's NBC "Sound of Music" album which continues to sell, although it tumbled quite a bit from #28 to #71. It had 12K more in sales which gives it total sales of 103K. Carrie's "Blown Away" is also still on the Top 200 list at #112 with another 9K to put that album's total at a whopping 1.631 million. The Roughstock chart also lists Scotty McCreery's "See You Tonight" which sold another 13K to land at #63 with 178K total in sales.<br /><br />The other two Idols on the chart are Daughtry's "Baptized" at #46 and Phillip Phillip's debut album (with that very long name) at #163. That's all I am reporting for now. I am awaiting the new season of Idol for some more interesting numbers to post!
