Not a whole lot of change on this week's album sales chart, with Carrie Underwood, Daughtry and Jordin Sparks each placing in the Top 50 despite recessed sales.
Underwood sold about 27K copies of Carnival Ride this week, which puts her at #18 on the chart. Daughtry continues to impress more than a year after his CD was released, moving 23K copies for the #25 spot, while Sparks sold about 16K copies of her debut CD, good for the #46 position.
Blake Lewis has dropped out of the Top 50 less than a month after his CD's release.
This week's Top 5 consists of Radiohead (116K), Alicia Keys (110K), Mary J Blige (80K), NOW 26 (51K) and Taylor Swift (45).
