Next up was Jordin Sparks, whose "One Step At a Time" rose #28-26 thanks to a fractional gain in sales. It picked up an additional 42.7k downloads for a grand total of 832.6k.

Is there a misprint? Didn't David Archuleta's number rise 1 point from 16 to 15? It says it dropped. I think there is an error.
Gosh that's a BIG drop in sales for Light On in just the 2nd week. wat's happening?
IMHO - Light oOn is a pompous and dated-sounding song (overdone and oversing) which grows really irritating and dreary just after a few spins...
Which may explain its free-fall... hope it stays down there for good...
