Elliott's Xmas CD is the #1 Holiday Album on the BB chart (this week. Groban is #2)
Obviously Josh has done well overall. KT Tunstall and Taylor Swift show up as well. The album is also the Pace Setter on the BB 200 chart (greatest gainer of the week) and is #4 on the BB Indy Chart (after Radiohead, Garth Brooks and The Eagles). It's always good to be #1.

One day I want to know how many Xmas CDs Swift and Tunstall sold.

FANTABULOUS NEWS!

Thanks for the link jamie! Elliott at No. 1 is a nice visual.

Wow so many great news in one day. I'm so overwhelmed.

For posterity:

his second #1 on any given chart!!

#1 Indie for EY

#1 Holiday album for SOTS

I think I remember one AI season where they listed the Idol alums' #1s (or maybe I hallucinate). Anyway, if they ever do it again, they'll have to include E. Yay!

That's so GREAT!!! :) I love Josh Groban but E's Xmas CD makes me groove. :hooray:

#1 :hooray:

:hooray:
That is AWESOME! Thanks for the great news!

CONGRATULATIONS Elliott! :hooray: :woohoo:

this is really great! :cheerleaders:
Congratulations to Elliott! :)

CONGRATULATIONS, Elliott! :hooray:
You deserve EVERY #1 you get!

:cheers: This is it!

Can anyone get a screengrab of the greatest gainer on the Billboard top 200?

I know this is due to discounting, but still, HE BEAT GROBAN. And Tunstall and Swift were discounted just as much, AND HE BEAT THEM!!!

Clearly, price matters a ton in album sales. Elliott, PLEASE find a way to put a sale on your regular CD! It's been far too expensive all year long, except for the magic Target pricing when it debuted.

LOVING all the good news today! :hooray:

This will look great on his resume!

A well-deserved first place. Heh, I'm still playing this cd and it is way past the holidays.

How long was Josh at #1 until this week? :)

Wow! Go Elliott!!! I still haven't purchased the Christmas cd yet. lol

now maybe Oprah will have Elliott on her show - Josh Groban was on her show and she totally kissed his butt and promoted his CD!

I just realized that Josh Groban was probably #1 the entire Xmas season except for this one week when it was Elliott. I'm pretty sure this chart will be gone by next week (Xmas has to end eventually). :rocker:

Please Hickory put Elliott's regular CD on sale. Just pricing it at $9.99 should increase sales tremendously.

really? You will love it! You may have trouble finding a copy now....pm me if you need one, because I bought a few extra last week.

OMGGGGG, HOW WONDERFUL IS THIS?????

CONGRATS ELLIOTT!!!!!!!!

:bunny: :cheers: :bunny: :cheers: :clap: :dance:

That is so FRIGGIN' cool!!!

Elliott in the NUMBER ONE spot....now that's how it should be!!!

(plus...and I would only say this among friends...Josh Groban makes me gag!!)

hE SKEEEERS ME. I DO LIKE HIS VOICE, BUT EVERY TIME I HEAR IT I THINK OF THIS....

ME TOO! LOL

WHERE'S THE PASSION? Much too technical for my taste.

That's really great that Elliott can claim another #1 title. His Christmas CD had so many awesome songs on it. Maybe they will re-release or he will create another one next year? Anyway, congrats to E.

Edited: Nevermind :)

so cool that he made it to #1 before the chart goes away!!

My sister emailed me last weekend that she bought the CD which was on sale with all the other Christmas merchandise at 90% off for 69 cents! This was in Harrisonburg, VA.

wow, I thought I did well, buying it for $1.76!

This news just makes my day!! I don't care how low it was priced I'm just glad that he outsold Josh Groban. I listened to Josh's cd and found it boring, boring, boring. I overheard a lady at Barnes & Nobles saying how great it was and I was so wishing I had one of Elliott's SOTS cds handy to hand to her and say, "Now this is really great."

WTG Elliott & Target too!!!!

That's cool I own both of the albums, and I must say that I do like Josh's better, but then again I guess I just like my christmas served up traditional..however i did love Warm Me Up! But thats kool that he at #1

:woohoo: Congratulations, Elliott!!!

I have to add that I'm also a fan of Josh's. Before Elliott came along, he was my favorite male vocalist. Comparing their voices is like comparing apples to oranges, though. They are both very good at what they do. One has a very pure, classically trained sound with a bit of pop sensibility, and the other is a raw, soulful vocalist who is incredibly versatile and can "sell" any song with passion and conviction.

if you click on the Listen To The Radio icon you can listen to Elliott Radio - I heard Train Wreck the first time, then Alright when I went back to listen again!

Agreed. Both are really talented in a time where most artists are mediocre at best! So way to go Josh (unless he makes you gag tehe) and Elliott! :elliottelliott:

Congratulations Elliott!

alien, do you mean 'Pace Setter' on Billboard 200?

Thanks for the link,jamie50!!
Congrats Elliott :rocker: :rocker: :rocker:

Yes, thanks!

Elliott's had two CDs in the top 40 of the overall chart now. Very impressive.
