'American Idol:' Adam Lambert nearing gold status
January 27, 1:01 PM TV Examiner Matt Carter
Adam Lambert's "For Your Entertainment" debuted with a bang, and now the "American Idol" runner-up is getting ever closer to having his debut album certified gold. The latest sales numbers are in courtesy of Nielsen SoundScan, and it's certainly enough to make fans of Adam celebrate.
"For Your Entertainment" was the top-selling album of any "Idol" alum last week, bringing in 20,000 copies compared to 18,000 for Carrie Underwood and 5,000 for Kris Allen. That puts Adam's disc at 477,000 albums sold, meaning that he will likely hit the milestone sometime in early February. A number of things could cause sales to fluctuate before then, including airplay, promotion, and public perception.
Adam has spent most of this week so far promoting his album in Canada, but he will once again be a presence in America this weekend as a correspondent for the Grammy Awards. Will it lead to more album sales? Considering that he will be on "Entertainment Tonight" at least one night next week (and maybe more), it is fairly likely.
