Music (and music business) critic Norman Lebrecht calls out reality TV celeb and future president Donald Trump for lying about reality TV celeb Jackie Evancho on Twitter:

The president-elect tweeted yesterday:

Vanity Fair crunches the Nielsen stats:

According to Nielsen numbers cited in Bilboard, Evancho’s Someday at Christmas sold 94 percent more albums in the chart week ending December 22 than it did the week prior. That is a larger increase than the average holiday album spike, which Billboard placed at 21 percent. But there’s another catch, the publication notes: in actual numbers, the spike was a mere 5,000 copies. When the number you’re starting at is small, it doesn’t take much to make a big percent increase.

An increase of 5,000 sales is not a skyrocket – even for an ‘opera’ singer.

      No need for people to write interesting headlines – just use the same one over and over.

    I bet her manager is a tRump supporter.
    Unless tRump pimps her music (sales) onto the frothing faithful,
    I don’t think this is a wise career move for her.

    Trump probably bought the 5000 copies.

    It’s actually a lot more newsworthy and characteristically rare if Cheeto-Hitler says something truthful. Seven out of ten statements that drop from his bloated orange maw is utter BS.

    Have been a big fan of Evanco, Her talent, her demeanor and character. All very true, however, never really though she was very bright either.

    Around here in Pittsburgh, her transgender sibling makes the news more often. Aguilera remains a bigger star for now.

    I guess considering that millions upon millions of us never heard of her or give a sh!t, at least she now has gotten a little more name recognition which is all her parents apparently care about. They must believe like VladimirTrump, any news coverage, even bad, is good.
    I agree with Jack’s comment below. He probably bought them to make the story all about him.

      She traveled from “Obscurity” to “Ignominy.” She must be tired.
