HITS estimates: 'Play On' #46 w/ 8.7k

It looks as though IDOL LIVE's reporting of Idol-related album sales according to HITS Daily Double's Top 50 building album sales chart will be saved next week by Fantasia's Back to Me debut, because Carrie Underwood's album seems to be on its last legs in terms of making an appearance on the chart.

Carrie's Play On was actually up this week sales-wise, climbing 5% to 8.7k copies. It was down on the chart side, however, slipping #41-46.

As usual, be sure to check out Billboard for official positions available for the Billboard 200 on Thursday.
