American Idol's Blake Lewis Sells Less Than 100K for #9 Debut on Album Chart



Well this should make Jordin Sparks feel a little better.

American Idol runner-up Blake Lewis sold 98K copies of his new CD, debuting at #9 on this week's album chart. Click here to see how that holds up against the debuts of other Idol second place finishers.

Carrie Underwood moved 105K copies of her CD Carnival Ride, which placed her at #7. That was an increase of 15% over the previous week.

Sparks sold 52K discs, putting her at #24, while Daughtry, whose CD was released over a year ago, sold 43K CD's for the #33 spot.

The top spot on the album chart was, once again, held by Josh Groban, who moved a very impressive 569K copies of his Christmas CD. Wow, wow, wow.

The rest of the Top 5 was populated by Alicia Keys (234K), The Eagles (203K), Now 26 (159K) and Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus (136K).
