His first week album sales: About 169,000 вЂ¦ or more than 10 times as many as Jessica. Season 12 winner Phillip Phillips continued that trend when his debut landed at number 4 on the Billboard 200 late last November. Seven of the 10 albums from finalists over that time span debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and Kris Allen just missed when his debut landed at number 11. But, from a sales standpoint, it was tough to argue with the results. That meant rushing the finalists to get new music ready at the same time they were headlining a summer tour. Six debut albums did better on the chart, including releases from Rittz, the Randy Rogers Band, HIM and the new Iron Man soundtrack.ДЇrom Season 6 through Season 11, 19 Entertainment released albums from the finalists by the Christmas holiday season of the same year. That would be the third lowest debut ever for an Idol runner-up.ДЄccording to Billboard, about 14,000 copies of JessicaвЂ™s album sold in the first week following its release.
