Kris Allen may be an American Idol, but his debut album sales are nothing to idolize.

The Season 8 champ’s debut album sold a disappointing 80,000 in its first week, landing at No. 11 and earning Kris the weakest debut of any Idol winner, Billboard has learned.

In fact, last season’s Idol runner-up, Adam Lambert, is expected to outsell Allen with his own debut. Lambert’s For Your Entertainment is reportedly on its way to a 225,000-selling release following the star’s controversial performance on last weekend’s American Music Awards.
