Damien Leith: highest selling album Posted Thursday, December 28 2006' www.accessallareas.net.au/data/EEyZkyyFuFCYGixnzf.php If having the number one single and album isn't enough, Damien Leith will be celebrating twice as hard for New Years with sales figures showing Leith's 'The Winner's Journey' CD/DVD has had the biggest one week sales for the entire year the third largest single week figure in almost three years. 'The Winner's Journey', which is a package encompassing a DVD and CD of all Leith's Idol highlights, sold over an impressive 101,000 units last week. That takes Leith's total album sales figure to over 208,000 units to date. In comparison, Guy Sebastian's debut album sold over 163,000 units and Shannon Noll's debut with over 131,000 in their first week's. It's showing signs that the Australian Idol format is once again healthy after Idol producers revamped the show, especially given that the previous two Idol winner's, Kasey Donovan and Kate DeAurgo, lucky to have sold 30,000 units each. Australian Idol will return in 2007 with Ian 'Dicko' Dickson returning to the judging panel.

Please don't tell me... oh, yes, they really did misspell those names. Thanks for finding this. I noticed a mention of the Damien fan club thing on that page - I still don't know what to make of that business from one moment to the next.

Yep the dodgy spelling is faithfully copied. I reckon the whole AAA thing is a cheap Sony sidedeal. Am planning on pushing my mates for some explanation and will report back. i think Jim on this forum though has some kind of connection ...

I wish ARIA would hurry up and tell us who has the biggest selling CD of 2006 - Damien surely has to be in the top 3, at least?

Just imagine how many he will sell of his original work, especially given the number of people who haven't bought the Winner's Journey because they have access to it all on YouTube and the like. He'll really be breaking records big time in March/April!

You're so right ahtobesure. I had downloaded everything I wanted from behindidol and youtube so I didn't really need to buy TWJ. How many of the less rabid fans (this obviously does not include anyone here ) have decided to wait for the album before they buy anything? I can hardly wait to see how well his originals album will sell next year. I already can't stand the wait. How will I last until March/April?
