Okay, I'm a little confused about all the different references to Kelly's upcoming tour (Jason Halbert's tweet, rehearsals, etc) and I keep wondering if they all refer to the summer tour or the fall tour. Or is this all now being treated as one tour?

Haha I'm confused too. Because I know that for the summer tour she wouldn't be able to do the cool stage settings and entrances and stuff that she sets up for her big tours. Maybe the setlist is the same.

Christine ~ I'm guessing Jason meant the Fall tour, because that's what I would consider the actual big "promo" tour for AIEW. And they've started with the summer tour already, so it doesn't make sense to me to be saying they've just finished rehearsing.

In Jasons last tweet about finishing up rehearsals, I believe that was for the summer tour. He Tweeted that on the 30th of June, so it was just before the tour started on the 3rd. It wouldn't make sense for them to be rehearsing for the fall tour this early. And judging by the concert audio, with all the changing up of songs and such, they were probably working their butts off. With all the promo stuff she has had lately, there really wasn't any other time to sqeeze in rehearsals for it. Kelly also mentioned in the show last night, that they had been working tirelessly getting ready for these upcoming shows. When she finishes the summer tour in Sept. I would imagine them taking some time off, then gearing up and rehearsing for the Big tour in the fall.

Can someone explain the following chart to me?

Albums:

Kelly Clarkson, All I Ever Wanted (7,000, -13 percent, 629,000 total/1,000 digital, -12 percent, 135,000 digital total)
Carrie Underwood, Carnival Ride (7,000, -26 percent, 2.91 million)
Kellie Pickler, Kellie Pickler (6,000, -24 percent, 255,000)
David Cook, David Cook (6,000, -27 percent, 1.19 million/1,000 digital, -15 percent, 145,000)
Daughtry, Daughtry (5,000, -19 percent, 4.48 million/1,000 digital, +23 percent, 371,000)
Michael Johns, Hold Back My Heart (5,000, debut, 5,000/2,000 digital)
Carrie Underwood, Some Hearts (4,000, -19 percent, 6.80 million)
Chris Botti, Chris Botti Live in Boston (3,000, -42 percent, 115,000)
Adam Lambert, Season 8 Favorite Performances (1,000 digital, -38 percent, 33,000)

I thought that the total of sales included the CD and digitals, but this chart seems to separate the two, those this make Kelly's total sales 8,000 for the week and a total of 764,000 copies??

I believe the digital sales are included in the total sales. They just break the numbers out to show you how many of those sales were digital. So by the example you gave she probably had 6,000 physical sales, and 1,000 digital, for a total of 7,000.
