well..he's done better than the last few winners...He'll at least go Platinum in the States...that's better than the Voice contestants...doubt Melanie sells platinum...Platinum from an Idol is good nowadays..even Kelly Clarkson can't get to platinum (still hope with the new single?) and Daughtry is flopping, RCA bought his Gold plaque and the latest album at like 300k...so Scotty has done well considering the sales of other TV competition alum..I'm not a fan of Scotty or Country music, but that genre sells in the States....
