Kris vs Susan - Who will sell more albums?
Background: Kris Allen took the American Idol Title with a suprising come from behind victory. Well suprising to some..Jenni had him winning. Susan Boyle has surprised the world from day 1! Its almost certain both with put out at least one album. Who will sell more albums in their first month after their released? The suspend date is set for the last day in December. It might need to be moved around a bit depending on when each one is released. I'm looking for the number of albums sold NOT the amount of money they make.
Settlement details:Its hard to get at total sales figures. If we can find access to Billboard 200 figures from Soundscan like: http://globalgrind.com/source/hhboard.ihiphop.com/656282/album-sales-billboard-top-200-soundscan-plus-camrons-next-week/ will settle on highest total album sales (last column). Otherwise we'll depend on the RIAA certifications available here: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/riaa/index.jsp

\\nI think (don\'t know for sure) that Jenni (and other admins) absolutely hate my politics, (as do my inlaws) but I always know that she would be here for any assistance that she could provide, if I needed her help. \\r
\\nKudos to Jenni.\\r
