'Idol' BB 200: 'All I Ever Wanted' #41 (6/13/09)

After an exciting week for Idol alums on the Billboard Top 200 chart, things were a little less impressive for the chart week of June 13. Still, 12 alums in all made appearances on the chart, which is a healthy number for this time of year.

Taking the lead this week was Kelly Clarkson, as her latest album All I Ever Wanted dropped one spot to #41 as a result of a 12% sales decline. It sold 11.6k copies for a total of 592.6k.

Another winner, Carrie Underwood, was right behind with her Carnival Ride, which sold 11k copies, down 9% sales-wise. It was also down one spot - to #45 - and now has a total of 2.875 million. And a third winner, David Cook, saw his album just one spot behind Carrie's, down 17 spots from the previous week. The self-titled disc added 10.7k to its total of 1.161 million and witnessed a 36% sales dip for the week.

Next up was almost-winner Adam Lambert, whose collection of Idol studio recordings sold 9.6k for the week, bringing its total to 25.3k after two weeks. It was down 19 points to #52 due to a 39% sales decrease. Adam's counterpart, Kris Allen, saw his studio recordings bundle fall a much heftier distance, as its 62% sales decline caused it to tumble #50-125. An extra 3.9k copies brings its total to 14.1k after two weeks.

One album that has seen positive movement thanks to a new single release from an upcoming album is Daughtry's Daughtry, which came in at #78, up 11 spots from the previous week. It was also up 7% to 6.3k, placing its total at 4.456 million copies. Kellie Pickler similarly saw saw her sophomore album increase its sales over last week's take, with a 2% increase sending it seven spots forward to #83. It sold another 6k for a total of 227.9k.

In its second week on the chart, Ruben Studdard's latest album, Love Is, tumbled 68% to 4.8k copies, down #36-101 on the chart side. It has sold 20.1k copies in its first two weeks of release. Chris Botti's Chris Botti In Boston, which features Katharine McPhee, slipped 13 spots to #124 on the chart due to a 17% sales decline. For the week, it sold 3.9, leading to a total of 98.7k copies.

Up next was Jennifer Hudson, whose debut album dropped two spots to #136 thanks to an 11% slip in sales. It moved another 3.5k and is now at 738.6k in all. Elliott Yamin's latest disc, on the other hand, fell 21 spots with a 21% sales decrease to a weekly take of 3.1k, adding up to a total of 33.6k copies. And David Archuleta rounded things out with his self-titled debut, which moved 2.7k copies, down 6% from the previous week, but managed to skip ahead 10 spots to #183 for a total of 707.6k.
