Here’s some proof that Mariah Carey is pretty much a household name. She doesn’t have a new album out yet she has a Top Ten single without even exerting any effort. She better thank the people who said that digital downloads count for something towards chart success. Her ‘All I Want for Christmas’ is #8 this week in the US according to Soundscan.It looks like people are really into the holiday spirit as Josh Groban’s Christmas album actually took the top spot by selling over 500,000 records this past week and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. Who knew Santa can be a big capitalist ploy?

When you make predictions, there’s always this chance that it won’t come true. But in the case of Alicia Keys, it did come true and was even better than we thought.
The Soundscan numbers are in and Alicia’s new album ‘As I Am’ sold 742,426 copies in the US since it debuted last week. That’s amazing! What’s even more amazing is that it sold three times as many copies as the #2 disc sold.
Josh Groban took the second spot with his Christmas album ‘Noel’ which sold 223,306 copies even though it’s been out for a few weeks already. Celine Dion’s ‘Taking Chances’ took 3rd by selling 214,381 copies.
