The most recent prediction has the reigning Idol with 150k opening week. Even two huge #1s won't guarantee a big opener...look at Katy Perry who couldn't crack 200k her first week.

and they never let me down. Try to get ‘em away from me and I’ll eat you alive.
Home is popular but all other signs show that Phillips just doesn't have the massive fanbase some previous Idols have had (the ratings were down, not a lot of online activity about him. They could just be chill people who buy the music without starting a lot of internet drama but I doubt it). Maybe they move on by the time the second album comes around, but a crazy invested Idol fanbase can get someone those huge first few weeks for the first album. McCreery's album opened with 197K last year and it doesn't surprise me that Phillips isn't expected to sell as well, even with a much bigger song. The 150K prediction honestly seems a bit high to me but maybe Home will be more of an album mover than I think it will be.
I think Phillips' album will be alright throughout the holidays. Whether or not he can find success with a second single remains an intriguing mystery, though.
Not much change to report near the top of the chart again, but it's worth noting that 'Diamonds' had already reached a higher peak than any post-'We Found Love' Rihanna single. We also get a random (and awesome) debut from The Weeknd:

Psy will never get his day in the sun at #1 here, despite far outpacing Maroon 5 in sales.
Nope.
I love it, but why is "Girl on Fire" rising?
The man who leaves and the man who comes back are not the same.
Home is creeping its way back into the top 10 for the third time. Crazy.
Well, you see, Kevin got dumped because he was too boring so he got a Discover card and went to her concert.
Super crazy. I like it!
Citicard.
Will Oscar have Riva Fever?
Haha. Close enough. I hate that damn commercial.
And I still can't decide if I like 'Girl On Fire.'
I love that he proves his edginess by embracing the Queen of Soccer Mom R&B.
Great. Now who's going to watch Sunday Rose on SAG night??
And looking at a picture of Marilyn Monroe.
How are Maroon 5 on top when PSY beats them every week in sales?
Because nobody plays Psy on the radio?
Why does radio count?
Um, because that's largely what the chart is based on?
Well that's just stupid.
