HITS estimates: Season 8 Walmart exclusive 13.8k

Despite the fact that not one single Idol alum saw a solo album of theirs make the cut on HITS Daily Double's Top 50 building album sales chart, the lone franchise-related entry came in the form of a Walmart exclusive album featuring select studio versions of songs by Season 8's Top 10 finalists.

American Idol: Season 8 debuted at #39 with 13.8k copies, all of which came from either Walmart retail locations or Walmart.com. This is the first physical album issued by Idol since Season 5.

Finalized figures courtesy of Billboard, which will be much more extensive in comparison to HITS' data, should be out by Thursday.
