You can sell 500 cd’s in five different ARIA assigned stores and you’ll make number one.

Its the old fallback theory.

Natalie is the first Idol winner not to reach the Top 10 with her debut album (so far) and she's the first not to reach #1 on the official singles chart, although it *must* be acknowledged that, like every Idol before her, she reached #1 on the CD singles chart (downloads let her down). In the year since digital downloads were first incorporated into the singles charts, total digital sales have increased phenomenally. It's quite possible that had Casey and Kate's debut singles been released in the digital age, they may have peaked at #2, as well. Natalie's being unfairly judged by the media. Her album is really good!!! Had she not won, though, I doubt Sony/BMG would have signed her, so it's good that she did, because now both she and Matt get to have a recording career.

Give Nat a chance. Theres so much pressure to get to # 1for an oz idol winner, yeh fair enough sony/bmg have invested some money. but these artists are never taken seriously anyway. Where's there real aria awards!!! Even Sneaky Sound System have only made it to #5 with their 'highly prasied' album! only Guy debuted at #1 with his debut album, Casey didn’t get there (#2 i think), Kate got #12? or #14? and Damien worked his way to #1 after a couple of weeks… Give Nat a chance.

Not surprisingly, Sony signed Corby just like they'd always intended to do :) Anyone remember it being explicity said by Dicko (or was it Holden) on one of the early episodes of this season that ONLY ONE CONTRACT would be offered by Sony BMG this year?
