'Idol' BB 200: 'Play On' #28 (4/3/10)

The action among Idol-related albums on the latest edition of the Billboard 200 album sales chart was good but nothing amazing.

Fellow country artist Danny Gokey saw his My Best Days experience a 15-spot drop to #33 after falling 39% in sales to 14.9k copies for a 102.5k.

Leave This Town by Daughtry actually was up one spot to #64 despite slipping 10% sales-wise to 3.2k for a net take of 994.3k copies. The band's first album continued to bounce around the bottom rungs of the chart with a decrease in sales by 5% to 3.2k copies for a total of 4.653 million. Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment was also off 10% to 7.8k copies yet it managed to remain at #71 for the second week in a row. It has taken in 569.3k copies to date.
