Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Kelly Clarkson released her first Christmas album, “Wrapped in Red,” last week.

This week, the album landed at number three on the Billboard 200.

The only albums selling more copies were Arcade Fire’s new album, “Reflektor,” and Katy Perry’s “Roar,” which debuted at number one a week ago.

Kelly’s album sold 70,000 copies, according to Billboard, beating out the folks from Duck Dynasty by the narrowest of margins.

That’s right, they have a Christmas album out, too: “Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas,” which landed fourth on the Billboard 200 with sales of 69,000.

Over on the Hot 100 singles chart … well, you won’t find any Idol alumni.

In fact, the only singing show representation comes from Season 3 Voice winner Cassadee Pope, whose debut single “Wasting All These Tears” has been climbing ever since the release of her first album a month ago.

“Wasting” is up to number 69 on the Hot 100 and jumps to number 12 among Hot Country singles.

Lots of goodies coming up soon. This week, Kellie Pickler releases her fourth album, “The Woman I Am.”

Next week, Daughtry’s “Baptized” and Danielle Bradbery’s debut album are due out.
