This is truly amazing!
Almost two months since it's release, Josh Groban's new album, the Christmas collection Noel, is topping the charts in America.
The record moved 405,041 copies in the last seven days, according to the new Soudscan charts. That's almost DOUBLE the amount he sold in the previous week!
Why the huge jump?
Groban appeared on Oprah's "Favorite Things" show last Tuesday.
Magic!
Groban's album has already been certified platinum. Good going!
Also crazy this week, Disney's High School Musical 2 soundtrack has jumped back into the Top Ten.
Blame Tina!
Four months after its release, the High School Musical 2 soundtrack is #6 this week, selling 182,962 copies - bringing its total album sales to 2.3 million!
Alicia Keys's latest CD continues to move massive amounts. Her As I Am sold 348,548 copies this past week.
American Idol alum Jordin Sparks managed to sell 119,119 copies in her debut week. Unfortunately, that was only good enough for a tenth place finish! That's the lowest first week sales of any Idol winner ever.
Fellow Idol champ Carrie Underwood, continues to do very well. Her latest, Carnival Ride, in its 5th week is outperforming Sparks.
Carrie moved an additional 141,406 copies this week. Her album has already gone platinum.
