Kris Allen Is Slaughtering Adam Lambert In Sales
Kris Allen on David Letterman
LOL at the entire band wearing ugly Christmas sweaters. Too funny. The song is still boring, but at least his band is funny. Also funny, "Live Like We're Dying" is up to #36 on the Billboard Hot 100, while none of Adam Lambert's 3 failed singles are even charting.
Adam Lambert's Single "For Your Entertainment" Falls Off the Billboard Hot 100 In Its Second Week
Deja vu! It what seems to be a trend with Adam Lambert singles, "For Your Entertainment" has completely fallen off of the Billboard Hot 100 in its second week, just like "Time for Miracles" did. He can't even stay in the top 100 songs for more than a week at a time? That's truly pathetic. Clearly, radio does not want to play any of Adam's songs. And without a radio hit, Adam's album is doomed after his first week or two of album sales. On the other hand, Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" has jumped up to #41 and is gaining radio play. It's a boring song, but at least it's semi-radio friendly and doesn't have awful screeching in it.
Kris Allen Debuts at #11 on the Billboard 200, Sells 80,000 Copies
Well that's about what we expected. Kris Allen's album will debut on the Billboard 200 at #11, selling 80,000 copies in its first week. This does make him the lowest selling Idol winner in first week sales ever. Part of it is the boring first single "Live Like We're Dying", part of it is the lack of promotion he's getting from 19E, who seems to want to spend all of their time aboard the fail train with Adam Lambert. Adam is estimated to sell about 200,000 copies of his album in its first week, which is about what we expected since most of those are preorders. Look for Adam's album to quickly decline soon after.
Kris Allen On The Dish
Eh, could have been much funnier. Then again, The Dish is just The Soup's much less funny cousin, so that's about right.
Kris Allen Performs "Live Like We're Dying" on Conan O'Brien Last Night
His voice is sounding very tired, he probably needs a good rest. Definitely not the best he's done. Funniest part of the video: When Conan comes out and makes Kris look even shorter than he is.
Vote for the Worst Album Review - Kris Allen
As I listened to Kris Allen's debut CD, a nagging thought wouldn't get out of my head: I've heard this before. You'll think the same thing as you listen to Kris's CD. But just because the songs aren't that innovative, it doesn't mean that some of them aren't good. The album is definitely a respectable effort from Kris, especially regarding the rush job recording sessions necessary to get the album done. Read on for the specifics.
Adam Lambert is Tanking, So Kris and Allison Are Brought in to Rescue Him
Due to the fact that Adam Lambert's songs are pure shit and no one will play them on the radio, there is now a new contest to win a concert with Adam, Allison, and Kris altogether. Adam is not anywhere near the draw that 19E was expecting, so they have to package him with Kris and Allison to get anyone besides the Sparkle Cows interested. Meanwhile, Kris Allen's single is slowly climbing the charts and doing well for itself. We love irony. (News via MJ's Big Blog)
