'Idol' BB 200: 'Leave This Town' #42 (10/17/09)

A slew of non-Idol debuts on the Billboard Top 200 album sales chart sent the four remaining Idol-related entries swirling down the chart in its latest edition.

A prime example of this trend was Daughtry's sophomore album Leave This Town, which fell #28-42 despite only slipping 9% in sales. Its weekly take of 14.4k copies was enough to bring its total to date to 675.4k.

Up next was Kelly Clarkson's album All I Ever Wanted, which sat at the midpoint of the chart thanks to a 21-spot slip to #100. It sold another 5.4k, down 4%, for a current total of 716.7k copies. Jordin Sparks' Battlefield also witnessed dramatic downward movement on the chart as it tumbled 32 spots to #157 on the heels of an 11% dip in sales. It ended up moving an additional 3.3k units to bring its total to 120.3k.

And Kellie Pickler's Kellie Pickler brought up the rear at #180, down three spots from the previous week despite seeing its sales jump 7%. Its weekly take of 3k copies brings its total to 317.2k.
