Alicia Keys’ New Album Reaches #1 - But Falls Low On Sales
Alicia Keys’ new album ‘As I Am’ has made it to the top spot on this week’s album, list. It’s a beautiful song that seems to be touching people’s hearts – just not enough to make them want to go out and buy a CD of their own. It seems that the album has endured its second worst week in sales.
Keys’ album sold 60,519 copies last week, just 455 more copies than the all-time bottom-dweller, the Dreamgirls soundtrack, which sold 60,064 copies in its second week on top one year ago. Keys’ album has sold 2,786,000 copies in just 10 weeks, a tremendous total by any measure. So it’s a little unfair that her name will be undergoing heavy criticism as this news reaches the ears of fans.
