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.<br /><br />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!<br /><br />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.
