Jackie Evancho’s Album Sales Not Up Much Despite Trump Tweet

President-elect Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday that the album sales of Jackie Evancho, the teenage classical singer, have “skyrocketed” since the announcement that she would perform at his inauguration.

Not exactly, according to sales figures.

According to Nielsen Music, which tracks album sales, Evancho sold 7,206 albums the week ending on Dec. 15 (she announced she would sing the national anthem at the Inauguration on Dec. 14). The following week, which ended on Dec. 22, Evancho sold 13,788 albums, and the week after, ending on Dec. 29, the 16-year-old sold 11,096 albums.
