This week's American Idol sales numbers were good if you were Kelly Clarkson or Chris Daughtry, but not as great otherwise. Kelly's 'Stronger' album saw steady sales from last week, so with 16K in sales, she is two thirds of the way to a million at 666K and #16 on the BillBoard chart. Chris Daughtry saw a nice jump after his performance on the show last week, jumping 45% to 6K for the week and putting his total sales at 407K (#72 on the chart) Scotty McCreery's 'Clear As Day' may have dropped out of the Top 50 again (#62), but his sales actually topped Daughtry at 7K, putting McCreery only 25K from hitting a million scanned sales. And his 7K number was his worst sales number ever, which is actually pretty impressive for an album out almost a half a year. He has remained in the Top 50 all but 3 weeks, so his almost six months chart run has been pretty incredible. It looks like Kelly will actually be able to stay within the Top 50 for her first full six months, but then again she is Kelly Clarkson!
