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.

IDOL LIVE predix: Kris Allen's 'Kris Allen'
The next high profile Idol-related release comes in the form of Kris Allen's self-titled debut album, which drops this coming Tuesday.
Kris certainly has his work cut out for him, as he is having a tough time standing out from the crowd amid a heavy release slate of artists that are more well-known than him. On Tuesday, music fans get to pick from new discs from Norah Jones, 50 Cent, Leona Lewis, Paul McCartney, Fall Out Boy, OneRepublic, Janet Jackson, Boyz II Men, John Mayer and more, so it will be very hard for Kris to rise above the fray. Couple this with a steady but slow-moving single in "Live Like We're Dying" and a somewhat bare first week promo schedule and it appears album sales will be slow out of the gate as well.
When taking this all into consideration, it looks like Kris Allen will sell about 90k in its first week of release, but there are a lot of factors that could prove to be wild cards that could cause this number to vary slightly in a more positive or negative way.

Carrie's Vitamin Water commercial
Carrie Underwood's commercial for Vitamin Water has finally begun airing during prime time network television programs, as it has aired on ABC and NBC thus far. There are two variations of the commercial - one where she does a horse whisper to a miniature horse - and an extended one where she appears with a host of other celebrities including 50 Cent, and they prepare for liftoff into outer space. Watch the horse whisperer commercial below:
These commercials come on the heels of Carrie's Nintendo DS Lite commercial, which began airing in May.
