Kris Allen Has Worst Debut Album Sales Of All American Idol Winners

TC Entertainment Articles

(4 votes, average 4.00 out of 5)

American Idol kris Allen has terible debut album salesKris Allen may have ended  “American Idol” on a high note as the 2009 winner, but his debut album sales are dismal at best. In fact he's now on record as having the least amount of albums sold in its first week of all Idol winners, according to Billboard.

The Season 8 winner's debut album sold a low and dismal 80,000 in its first week, the worst debut of any “Idol” winner, landing it at No. 11 on Billboard.

Another “Idol” winner, Carrie Underwood, outsold him with sales of her third album, “Play On.” Her album released on November 3 sold 86,000 copies, pushing it past the half-million mark overall.

And Kris’ runner-up, Adam Lambert, is set to make a much bigger debut in sales with his own album, “For Your Entertainment.” The album is reportedly on its way to a 225,000-selling release following the star’s controversial performance on last weekend’s “American Music Awards.”

I love love Kris, but he is really not the stage kind.
'Course he win because it's "American" Idol, it had to be at lest partially political. (which we do not care a bit here abroad.) It is NOT HIS problem. Duh.

But I really wish him better sell.
Go, Go, Kris!

I guess the REAL VOTE is made with wallets not power voting parties.

Wow it's a shame that kris allen's total album sales was really so bad. He's a nice guy but he has no real stage presence or wow factor like Adam Lambert. Honestly, he's just simply boring and mediocre.

What a shame he had to be lumped into such a category, but its true Kris Allen is the worst American Idol winner. Not just in album sales, but also in star persona. Even Ruben Studdard has better stage presence than he does. Adam Lambert is the true winner of course, he blew Kris Allen off the charts with his controversy and just plain better singing and concert performances.
