| BillBoard 200 Rank, orange = "Clear As Day", blue = "Stronger" |
With the excitement of a new season of American Idol I almost forget to post my latest chart of
current Idol album sales. After nine straight weeks back in the BillBoard Top 20, Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" drops to #24. If you remove the
5 Whitney Houston albums ahead of her, however, she would still be at #19. Kelly sold 19K more albums this week to bring her total to 633K. Scotty McCreery actually saw a slight increase, posting his weekly sales of 10K. Last week had been his lowest sales week ever at 9K on his 21st week, but with rounding this week he goes back up to the 10K level, even if his BillBoard rank slips slightly to #64. "Clear As Day" also breaks the 950K limit and is just a few weeks away from an official million in sales.

Daughtry's "Break the Spell" is the only other Idol album in the BillBoard 200 at #110 with sales of 5K (396K total.) He keeps reaching closer to 400K but will have to wait until next week to hit that number. Lauren Alaina's "Wildflower" has broken the 250K level (254K with 3K in sales this week) and Kelly Pickler's "100 Proof" sold another 2K to reach 57K total.
