American Idol Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks’ new self-titled CD makes its debut on the billboard charts at number 10 selling a little more than 119,100. Sparks, who is the youngest Idol winner has turned out the lowest first week numbers of debut issued by previous winners.
Kelly Clarkson’s Thankful opened at #1 with 297,400 units while, Ruben Studdard’s Soulful also debut at number 1 with 416,600 in sales, Fantasia Barrino sold 239,000 copies of Free Yourself for a #8 debut, Taylor Hicks did 298,000 copies at number 2 and Carrie Underwood sold 315,000 and also opened at number 2.
Sparks should take some comfort after all she sold more than established ex-Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland who only sold 83,000 units.
