12/28: Carrie dating a QB!
By: Rodney Ho | December 28, 2006, 1:42PM EST

Wow. Carrie Underwood is growing up. Not only is her CD still going strong after more than a year ((It’s No. 4 this week, pushing her sales to 4.6 million!), but she is now dating a Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo.

Here’s a link to a Fort Worth Telegram story about it.

Excerpt:

In an article in Wednesday’s Journal Gazette/Times-Courier of Charleston, Ill., Romo told the sports editor of his hometown paper that no, he’s not dating Dallas diva Jessica Simpson, but he is seeing Underwood, the 2005 American Idol and emerging country music star.

And again, I’m crediting the Idol Chatter blog for sales totals in the week leading up to Christmas. There are seven Idols on the chart this week which is impressive.

Chris Daughtry remains in the top 10 at No. 8, with another 250K sold, pushing him just over 1 million copies sold before the New Year! Wow! His single “It’s Not Over” continues to rock as well.

Taylor Hicks dropped sharply from No. 2 to No. 15 with 202K sold, hitting 500K in two weeks. That’s respectable but it’s clear he’s not going to sell as many copies as Daughtry.

Kellie brought in another 63K, dropping from 56 to 61, with a grand total of 336K.

Shockingly, Kellie outsold the second week of Fantasia, who saw sales droop 53% and her position on the chart drop from 19 to 63. She sold 62K for a grand total of 195K.

Clay;’s album dropped from 124 to 143, moving 24K. That means 483K so he’s guaranteed a half million next week. His Christmas CD from a couple years ago brought in 21K for 1.3 million total.

Ruben fell off the Top 200, selling 14,800, three copies short of making the top 200. He has now sold 181K.
