American Idol Season 9 winner Lee DeWyze is tearing up two other Billboard Charts as well! Just 3 weeks ago, Lee's pre-Idol album "Slumberland" debuted on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums Chart at #32. In it's second week on the chart, this second release (after "So I'm Told
") from Chicago's WuLi Records had jumped to #17...the largest move by any album on that chart. Now in it's 3rd week on the Heatseekers Chart, "Slumberland" has jumped to #7! "Slumberland" debuted at #39 on the Independent Albums Chart, which tracks the week's top-selling albums across all genres, sold via independent distribution channels.Come on FANS...let's make our American Idol Lee DeWyze #1!
Slumberland is an awesome album. I liked it so much I also purchased Lee's So I'm Told album -- it's also another amazing album.
ReplyDeleteGreat song. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO sweet Lee congrats, you deserve it(O: I personally can't get enough of hearing you sing that song. You are SO good and such a talent.
ReplyDeleteHave both albums, love them!!... Can't wait for the next one!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fake story, i thought he was just a paint salesman, not so he already had two cds out and was working on another 3rd one before AI. WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL S**T.
ReplyDeleteTo Anyonymous's comment on June 11th - RE: Lee's 2 previous CD's. They are from independent labels, meaning 'self-funded'. 2 seasons ago, Brooke White & Michael Johns also had CD's out. This is a platform in which to get onto a BIG label. More power to them who can do things on their own without the help of someone with money. Get over it.
ReplyDeleteLee shouldnt have even won. Crystal outsang him every single time.
