Digital sales roundup: "My Life Would Suck Without You" #15 (4/3/09)

Another week of mostly inaction among Idol-related tracks plagued Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart this week, but David Cook's latest single was the one bright spot.

Leading the pack once again was Kelly Clarkson, whose single "My Life Would Suck Without You" continued its downward slide as it slipped 26% in sales and five spots on the chart to #15. It sold another 74k downloads for a total of 1.584 million, though, so when looking at its numbers from that vantage point things look pretty solid.

Following Kelly was Carrie Underwood with her single "I Told You So," which fell #15-33 thanks to a 33% sales decline. It moved another 43.3k downloads and now totals 330k. The single should see another boost on next week's chart thanks to Carrie's highly-rated performance on the ACM Awards.

Then there was Cook, whose second single "Come Back to Me" saw a 999% sales increase thanks to an appearance on last week's Idol results show. It was launched onto the chart at #40 with 39.4k and now has its total standing at 59.8k. Look for a big drop next week.
