Dreamgirls Soundtrack Takes #1
The soundtrack to the new Dreamgirls movie starring Beyonce Knowles and American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson, hit #1 this week in album sales according to Billboard.com. It also got a dubious distinction of having the lowest sales of any #1 album too.
In a slow week for both sales and new releases, the Sony soundtrack to the Beyonce-starring “Dreamgirls” ascends 3-1 to claim the summit. The set sold 66,000 copies in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan, despite a sales decrease of 36%. Indeed, “Dreamgirls” registers the lowest sales total for a No. 1 album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991.
Jennifer Hudson, one of the stars of the movie, was a contestant in Season 3 of American Idol. The movie also stars Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Danny Glover, and Anika Noni Rose.
