HITS predix: Allison Iraheta's 'Just Like You' 25-30k

Contrary to her hair color, things aren't looking so red-hot for Allison Iraheta's debut disc Just Like You, as HITS Daily Double's one-day sales numbers are painting a disappointing but hardly unexpected picture.

HDD has the fourth-place finalist's album debuting with 25-30k copies in its opening week, which is a great deal lower than first week sales of albums from fellow Season 8 finalists Adam Lambert (198k) and Kris Allen (80k). It is expected to be the second highest-selling debut for the week, but should enter the chart at the lower rung of the Top 20. My original prediction of 35k was a little on the high side.

Surprisingly, there were no predictions for any of last week's big debuts besides Susan Boyle, whose I Dreamed a Dream should battle Andrea Bocelli's My Christmas for the #1 spot with around 350k each.

Be sure to check back on Friday for revised predictions.
