Abi Carter, the winner of season 22 of American Idol, has made her Billboard chart debut with her new single “This Isn’t Over.” The song has entered the Digital Song Sales chart at No. 23, selling 2,436 copies in its first tracking frame. Carter’s entry on the chart comes behind other new releases from artists like Cody Johnson, Koe Wetzel, and Nate Smith, as well as Billie Eilish.
Surprisingly, Carter is not the only American Idol contestant to debut on the Digital Song Sales chart this week. Runner-up Will Moseley has also made an appearance with his song “Good Book Bad,” which entered the chart at No. 14, selling 3,457 copies. Moseley’s sales surpass Carter’s, indicating a strong public reception of his music despite not winning the competition.
Moseley had previously appeared on the country music charts earlier this year when he first competed on American Idol. With the success of his new single and outperforming the winner on the sales chart, both Carter and Moseley’s careers will be closely watched to see who will have a more successful future in the music industry.
As the new single by Abi Carter, the winner of American Idol season 22, debuts on the Billboard chart, it marks the beginning of what could be a successful music career for the young artist. With the support of fans and the exposure gained from the show, Carter’s trajectory in the music industry is something to watch in the coming months.
