ATDW Moves 74K In Week 2; Drops To #8

A Thousand Different Ways' official second week sales are now in! According to Billboard, A Thousand Different Ways sold 74,000 copies making him #8 on the Billboard 200. The Billboard.com article notes: "Clay Aiken's RCA set A Thousand Different Ways takes a 65% sales hit in its second week, sliding 2-8 with 74,000."

These Soundscan numbers, although official, are somewhat puzzling. Hits Daily Double's final tally for ATDW released yesterday was 80,381. Where those other 6,000 copies went, we don't have the slightest clue.

Congratulations on another great week! Let's hope this album goes gold before Christmas!
