Merry Christmas With Love Continues to Impress

Clay's 2004 Holiday disc, Merry Christmas With Love continues to perform well this holiday season after its record breaking first season, when it splashed onto the music charts as the bestselling Christmas CD in the first week in Billboard/Soundscan history as well as 2004's bestselling holiday album.

The CH's 43dudleyvillas updates us on the current situation:

Interrupting the discussion to confirm that MCWL's official Soundscan tally for the week ending 13 November 2005 is actually 8,400 exactly! That's an increase of 64% over last week, according to the chart. The cumulative Soundscan tally (not including sales at Christian retailers) is 1,026,152 copies sold, but the album has sold at least 1,053,992 copies (plus no more than a few hundred copies sold at Christian retailers between 2 January and 30 October 2005, in all likelihood). As hockeydonna posted at CV yesterday, MCWL retained the #11 ranking on this week's Billboard Top Holiday Albums chart.
