#JORDIN SPARKS ALBUM SALES FULL#

Just let things go and you'll be fine, and you can do this,' and so it was just really cool to see that happen.Sparks won the sixth season of American Idol. But it was cool, because I had my family to help me out, and it was cool because they helped me become stronger as a person, and they were able to help, you know вЂ“ вЂIt's OK, Jordin. вЂњI've had a couple of deaths in the family, just thrown on top of all the stress вЂ¦ and it was crazy how things kind of вЂ“ how things kind of worked out. вЂњI've had a lot of things happen,вЂќ Sparks says. She looks at it as just another challenge, one of many she's learned to deal with since winning вЂњAmerican Idol,вЂќ including the health scare earlier this year, when she lost her voice for a few days. She's eager to try her hand at producing, as well. They helped me out a lot and showed me some really cool things in the studio.вЂќДЇor Sparks, the learning curve is natural. I was like, вЂOh, my gosh, oh, my gosh, I don't know what's going on.' But they were all really, really cool, really nice. вЂ¦ And as far as the producers go, yes, I was intimidated a little bit.

What I kind of did is, we would go through the songs, and I just picked songs that I liked, that I just thought I related to in some sort of way, that I knew that I wouldn't mind singing in a couple of years, and that kind of helped me.

вЂњI mean, we didn't really have a specific sound we were going for, anything like that. вЂњI'm so new to this, I don't really know what I had planned,вЂќ she says. Sparks says she is looking forward to working on her next album, when she will get a chance to write more and have more control over what it sounds like. From (when Kelly Clarkson won in 2002) to now, everything has changed so much, and it's all about downloading and iTunes and singles, and so I kind of think that's what part of it is, but I'm really glad that my singles are doing well.вЂќ вЂњI'm proud of the numbers that I've sold, because I've just broken in this thing, and I'm working on it, so I'm excited. вЂњI'm pretty sure it's just the way the industry is changing, because I know even before any of this happened вЂ“ I just wanted the song, and not so much maybe the whole album, unless it was really good,вЂќ she says. Though many have called sales of her eponymous debut, which recently went gold, disappointing, Sparks reacts with the big-picture view of a veteran and the optimism of a thrilled newcomer. Her single, вЂњNo Air,вЂќ with Chris Brown, has been lodged in the Top 10 for months now, and the new single вЂњOne Step at a TimeвЂќ was launched last month on the вЂњAmerican IdolвЂќ finale, when she passed the вЂњIdolвЂќ torch to David Cook. Of course, Sparks has enough chart successes of her own to merit the call.

#JORDIN SPARKS ALBUM SALES FULL#

1 album in the country right now wants me to be out on her tour? вЂ¦ I sang вЂFallin,' I mean, I don't know how many times, for friends and family and some competitions, so it's just crazy that everything's kind of coming full circle for me from singing her stuff to now opening up for her. вЂњI was like, seriously? Really? Alicia Keys that has the No. вЂњWhen they told me that I was going with her, my jaw just dropped to the floor,вЂќ Sparks says. It's a mix that even fits her current tour of arenas, her first without her вЂњAmerican IdolвЂќ pals, opening for Alicia Keys вЂ“ an idea that couldn't have even been a dream 18 months ago.
