'Idol' BB 200: 'All I Ever Wanted' #12 (4/25/09)

The scene on the latest Billboard Top 200 chart for Idol alums was a pretty good one thanks to Easter weekend, Idol results shows and the ACM Awards.

Advancing two spots to #12 on the chart was Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted, which rose 18% in sales to 39.9k copies. It has sold 471k in all and should just miss going gold next week.

Also seeing positive movement was Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride, which jumped #33-16 thanks to Easter sales and the ACM Awards. It took in 32.3k copies for the week, up 99%, and has totaled 2.768 million. David Cook was next with his self-titled album, which sold 21.4k copies, down 14%, for a total of 1.089 million. On the chart side, it dropped eight spots to #28.

In its second week, Chris Botti's CD/DVD Chris Botti In Boston, which features Katharine McPhee, slipped 24 spots to #37 and decreased in sales by 55% to 16.2k copies. It has sold 52.4k copies after two weeks. Next up was Jennifer Hudson's debut album, which moved another 6.9k copies, down 9% from the previous week, which dropped #89-102. Its total now stands at 697.7k copies and should see a nice increase on next week's chart following Jennifer's big performance on last night's results show.

Kellie Pickler's performance on this week's chart is just a sign of things to come for Jennifer's album, as Kellie Pickler's sophomore album shot up 174% to 6.3k copies, marking a re-entry on the chart at #112. It has sold 193.7k copies since its release last fall. David Archuleta also saw some gains this week, though not on the same scale. David Archuleta improved by 20 spots to #133 and sold another 5.5k copies, up 35%. It has now totaled 682.3k.

Mandisa's Freedom, on the other hand, was down 12% to 4.5k copies for a total of 8.3k copies according to Billboard. On the chart, it was down #123-154. Daughtry's Daughtry, which was #154 last week, slipped further to #161 with 4.3k copies to round out the Idol representation on the Billboard 200. It was up 6% and now has its total sitting at 4.416 million.
