USA Today: Danny Gokey’s ‘My Best Days’ sells 65K in first week

Danny Gokey enters the country album-sales chart at No. 3 and The Billboard 200 at No. 4. having sold more than 65,000 copies of My Best Days in his first week. That’s a few thousand better than Bucky Covington did with his debut a few years back, and I believe (I’m sure RCA will have a press release with the specifics later today) that gives My Best Days the best first-week numbers for any new male country act since Billy Ray Cyrus’ Some Gave All did about 90,000 back in 1992.

That’s a great achievement for Danny, especially after initial projections placed My Best Days in the 45,000-50,000 range, but I’d caution his fans about extrapolating too much about his long-term prospects from this first week. Other country acts who’ve debuted in that range haven’t exactly turned into Entertainer of the Year material: While Bucky (61,000, 2007) and Jason Michael Carroll (58,000, 2007) both started solidly, but have struggled recently. Bucky’s had a hard time getting his last few singles up the chart, and Carroll recently lost his record deal. Both of those acts had sizable hit singles when their first albums hit. Danny got a big boost out of his American Idol appearance, and he won’t get that kind of exposure every week.

Several Idol acts had week-over-week sales increases, according to Nielsen SoundScan, including Carrie Underwood, Daughtry and Adam Lambert.
