If you factor in that
Crystal Bowersox does not currently have any radio airplay of her songs at all and performs with a difficult to pinpoint musical style, the
58,000 first week sales for Crystal's "Farmer's Daughter" is pretty impressive for her. She did pick a good week to release it right before Christmas, but she did end up
outselling Lee's first week numbers by almost 50%. I think her second and third week sales will be more telling as well as how the album sells once her song starts getting radio play in January 2011. Another good sign for her is the number of views her video is receiving on
YouTube with over 140,000 views in six days. She also has a new
main website now, but unfortunately there are no user discussion forums on it anymore. If you want to join in the conversation, the best blogs or forums are at
MJ's Big Blog,
Bowersoxfans.com or even the
American Idol Forums. Crystal is also back on TV tonight (or is it technically tomorrow morning?) on
Chelsea Handler's show. Due to the wonders of
YouTube we can all enjoy it now without having to stay up late to watch it!
