Underwood, Daughtry and Sparks' Album Sales Increase, as Lewis' Plummet

There was good news for three former Idols on this week's album chart, and not-so-good news for one.

Both Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks saw sales increases this week -- Carrie jumped by 32% to sell 138K for the #9 spot, while Jordin's sales increased 16% to 60K, good enough for the #26 spot. Daughtry saw the week's biggest gain, improving 40% to 60K, which put him at #27.

Blake Lewis, meanwhile, who debuted last week in the Top 10, plummeted 44% to just 54K. That leaves him at #33 for the week.

Josh Groban, yet again, grabbed the chart's top spot, selling a whopping 666K copies of Noel. Alicia Keys (299K), The Eagles (239K), Mannheim Steamroller (193K) and NOW 26 (192K) round out the Top 5.
