Well, I don't think even a video would have allowed FM to oversell these two. Why the Hell 50 Cent is so popular, I'll never understand. However, American Idol was absolutely huge, and as I said, Clarkson managed to make a single that went gold, and singles just don't do that anymore. I'm not surprised Clarkson sold more (if it did...I haven't heard) just because of pop culture. I was going to post earlier, but forgot, not to worry about 50 Cent and Clarkson because even though they were said to debuted at #1 and 2, they were probably going to sell a LOT of units, therefore FM could still sell a lot but not reach #1. It's just today's pop culture...I mean, N'Sync has the highest album debut with 2.4 million copies...N'SYNC! After that, I couldn't expect too much from our culture.
