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.

HITS predix: Kris Allen's 'Kris Allen' 75-80k
According to HITS Daily Double's one-day sales, Kris Allen's album is going to fall below most industry expectations and will most likely be the lowest debut for a post-Idol album from a winner.
According to the numbers, Kris Allen will pull in between 75-80k in its first week, which is even below my pessimistic prediction of 90k. In terms of his competition, some of the usual big selling artists are also coming in a bit under usual standards. Norah Jones's album The Fall will take in 150-160k, while new discs from 50 Cent, Casting Crowns and Andrea Bocelli will all get 140-150k. Leona Lewis's Echo, on the other hand, will probably take in 60-65k.
Be sure to check back on Friday for revised predictions. Hopefully Kris's upcoming appearances will be enough to push the sales a little bit higher.

HITS predix: Carrie Underwood's 'Play On' 140-150k
According to HITS Daily Double's Top 50 building album sales chart, Carrie Underwood's Play On might possibly be able to eke out a second straight week atop the album sales chart.
Despite a crowded field, Play On is expected to be engaged in a four-way fight for the top, each within the vicinity of 140-150k. Carrie's competitors include albums from Bon Jovi, Andrea Bocelli and Michael Jackson.
Be sure to check back on Friday for revised predictions.
