HITS predix: Danny Gokey's 'My Best Days' to debut with 45-50k

With a performance on Idol's results show Thursday in the cards, HITS Daily Double is predicting Danny Gokey's debut album My Best Days to open with numbers between 45-50k. This would put his debut opening week sales below releases from fellow third-place finalists Elliott Yamin (Elliott Yamin, 90k), but ahead of season-mate Allison Iraheta (Just Like You, 32k) and Melinda Doolittle (Coming Back to You, 10.9k) (no numbers were available for Kimberley Locke's debut One Love).

This figure are fairly close to my original prediction of 43k copies. Be sure to be back here next week when Billboard will (hopefully) have final sales data available.
