Jordin Sparks followed at #114 with Jordin Sparks, which accumulated another 5.2k copies. Its 43-spot free fall was a side effect of its 25% sales decrease, and its total now stands at 922k.

And then there is Kristy Lee Cook, whose Why Wait plummeted 104 spots to #153 in only its second week. The monstrous 60% drop resulted in only 3.8k copies sold for the week, pushing its total at 13.3k. Odds are highly likely that this will be the album's last week on the chart.
