Daughtry again leads American Idols on the Billboard Album Chart

orange= Daughtry, red= Scotty, maroon = Phillip, lt blue = Carrie 

How fitting is it that on the week that the new season of American Idol has begun, the Idol alum with the highest charting album on the BillBoard 200 right now is not even a winner? That would be, of course, Chris Daughtry whose album "Baptized" leads all the other Idols for a second week in a row at #42 (from #38 last week.) Except for the re-entry of Colton Dixon's "A Messenger" at #132, however, the rest of the Idols on the Top 200 chart are all winners who have been on the chart for a while: Scotty McCreery at #85 with "See You Tonight", Phillip Phillip's "The World From the Side of the Moon" at #178 and Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" at #195. Kelly Clarkson's hot selling Christmas album which was #64 last week has completely dropped off the album chart now, probably because it is now the middle of January!

The only Idol listed on RoughStock's country album chart this week is Scotty, whose album sold another 8K this week (a good number in mid January) to reach a total of 187K. His "See You Tonight" single continues to gain spins on radio stations, so hopefully it will continue to sell until he releases a new single which he will likely perform on a televised show in a few months.

Interestingly Candice Glover's new single "Cried" is starting to get some play on Urban AC stations and moves to #24 on the mediabase chart there. She will also probably get to perform her single live on a televised program so hopefully that will help both her single and the album sales for "Music Speaks" in February.
