'Idol' BB 200: 'Play On' #29 (2/13/10)

For the chart week of Feb. 13, it was an unexciting time for albums by Idol alums on the Billboard Top 200 album sales chart thanks to minuscule changes in both directions ahead of the many sales bumps that are expected on next week's chart from the Grammy Awards impact.

Carrie Underwood's Play On epitomized the boredom of the sales data, as it was up just 2% to 18.1k and down #24-29 on the chart side. The album has now sold exactly one copy over 1.263 million to date. Carrie's Some Hearts also hung onto a spot on the latter portion of the chart, with Some Hearts rising #198-177 (no sales data available).

Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment was up next although it was down for the week, sliding 15 spots to #36 and off 22% sales-wise. It sold 15.3k and is now just under 8k away from hitting the halfway to platinum mark. Daughtry's Leave This Town also fell, albeit just two spots, to #66 despite a 7% incline to 9.2k copies for a total of 916.4k. The band's debut followed in Carrie's debut's footsteps as it wallowed in the lower rungs of the chart down six spots to #181 (no sales data available).

Kris Allen saw his debut LP hit the 250k mark after it added 4.9k this past week. It still fell 21 spots to #122 thanks to a 7% sales decrease. And Kelly Clarkson saw her Grammy-nominated All I Ever Wanted drop off the chart with 2.9k copies.
