HITS estimates: 'Play On' #16 w/ 32.1k

The Grammys really helped one Idol-related album as evidenced by the most recent edition of HITS Daily Double's Top 50 building album sales chart.

Grammy Award-winning country artist Carrie Underwood saw her hugely successful album Play On surge 76% to 32.1k copies for the week, up 13 spots to #29. Maybe the album itself will do well at the Grammys in 2011?

And Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment was the only other Idol-related entry on the chart, as it was down #38-46 and 6% sales-wise to 13.5k. It has now passed the gold mark but will most likely struggle to reach the next bench mark.

Full sales data and chart positions courtesy of Billboard should be published later this week.
