Just two weeks after Jordin Sparks' debut album failed to make much of a dent on the sales chart, word comes that Blake Lewis is on track to move about 100K copies of his debut album. That amount should be enough to land him in the Top 10 on this week's album chart -- a comparable position to Jordin's debut. This is a bit surprising, considering Blake's single, "Break Anotha," has not had nearly the traction that Jordin's "Tattoo" has had.
Idol runners-up have had mixed success in their debut weeks. While Season 2 second-place finisher Clay Aiken still holds the record for biggest debut sales week of any Idol contestant, Justin Guarini, Diana Degarmo, Bo Bice and Katharine McPhee have not been nearly as successful. If estimates for Blake's CD hold, he will have the third highest debut from a runner-up.
Take a look at the debuts for each of the second place finishers:
1. Clay Aiken, 613K
2. Bo Bice, 225K
3. Katharine McPhee, 116K
4. Justin Guarini, 50K
5. Diana Degarmo, 47K
