After seeing a nice bump in sales last week due to her wins at the CMT Music Awards, Carrie's third studio album was up another 2% in sales to 16.3k copies. Despite the continued strong sales trends, the album was bumped down one spot to #24.
Billboard will have official chart data for the Billboard 200 later in the week.

HITS estimates: 'Play On' #24 w/ 16.1k
Play On was actually up one spot to #24 this week thanks to a strong night for Carrie at the 2010 CMT Music Awards last Wednesday. The boost, which was the result of Carrie's two big wins including Video of the Year and a scorching performance of "Undo It," upped the album's sales total by 16.1k copies, marking a week-to-week increase of 5%.
Having a less thrilling week on the chart was Clay Aiken's most recent cover album Tried & True, which was off 43% in its second week to an 11.3k take. On the chart side it was down #12-38.
Billboard will have official chart data for the Billboard 200 later in the week.

CMT Awards wrap-up: Carrie Underwood doesn't buckle under pressure
.jpg)
Despite having to sit through a mess of an awards show, Carrie Underwood could do nothing but smile at the 2010 CMT Music Awards. Carrie won two awards, including the coveted Video of the Year distinction for "Cowboy Casanova."
Carrie must've said "awesome" a dozen times upon taking the stage to receive the buckle, as she was as appreciative as always of her fans' support. She was also sure to sneak in a kiss with her fiance, Mike Fisher, before making her way through the crowd, as seen in the photo on the right.
Earlier in the show Carrie took home a buckle for CMT Performance of the Year thanks to her "Invitation Only" performance of "Temporary Home" in addition to introducing Tim McGraw for his performance of "Southern Voice" and taking the stage to perform her current smash hit "Undo It." Watch her performance (including an awkward 10-second mute mic at the beginning and Kara DioGuardi's bumbling intro) below:
As for my predictions, I was right on with Carrie's win for PotY and loss for FVotY and Kellie's loss for CVotY, although I was [gladly] wrong about Carrie not taking home VotY.
Also in the house was Danny Gokey, who found the time to catch up with fish out of water presenters Snooki and "The Situation" from MTV's Jersey Shore. According to a tweet of his, Snooki told him her mother is a fan. Really?

Carrie Underwood is shooting for her "Cowboy Casanova" video to earn her a CMT Award in the Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year categories, while she could be victorious in the CMT Performance of the Yearcategory thanks to her live performance of "Temporary Home" for the network. Kellie Pickler, on the other hand, could win in the Collaborative Video of the Year category as a result of her teaming up with friend Taylor Swift on the "Best Days of Your Life" video.

Kenny Chesney – "Out Last Night"
Brad Paisley – "Welcome to the Future"

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Carrie Underwood & Kellie Pickler receive CMT Award noms
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
Kellie and Carrie also saw their music video directors receive noms for Director of the Year (Deaton Flanigen, "Temporary Home" and Roman White, "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You" / "Best Days of Your Life"). The CMT Music Awards will be hosted by Kid Rock and will air live on the network on Wed., June 9 at 8 p.m. ET.
Are you referring to after “Idol”? What kind of things were you turning down?
After “Idol,” a lot of people misunderstood where I was trying to go as an artist. I remember having a conversation with my husband where I said, “No compromise.” I had to start writing the music myself, because nobody is there to understand exactly what your goal is, but I knew and when I met these guys, I saw it was their goal too. So we all came together and just blended perfectly. We complement each other. For me, I was either gonna have this or nothing at all. I had to have the realization that I could be completely screwing myself forever, by being so adamant that this was going to be the only type of music I was going to make, but it all worked out and I’m stoked.
We Are the Fallen has had its lead single "Bury Me Alive" featured on various TV shows, from MTV's The Hills to The CW's Vampire Diaries. Tear the World Down is now available to purchase at Amazon.com

>It was announced on Monday that Kris Allen will be supporting Maroon 5 alongside V.V. Brown on the band's current North American tour on four select dates beginning Aug. 19 at the Bayfront Park Amphitheater in Miami, Fla. Ticket sale information is available at Kris's official website. This news comes after it was revealed two weeks ago that Kris will be keeping busy during the majority of the summer by co-headlining a tour with The Barenaked Ladies beginning July 8 at Harrah's in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
>Following his elimination last week, Aaron Kelly followed in the footsteps of his fellow Idol castoffs when he appeared on CBS's The Late Show with David Letterman Monday night for a little back and forth with Letterman and a mini performance. Watch what transpired below:
Aaron got chastised for mumbling his hometown and going to school via a computer. Aaron's performance of "My Girl" was nice but nothing to write home about. Still, the country vibe it had was custom tailored for Aaron's style.
Does Simon ever lay into you the way he did Paula?It's a bit of a surprise that neither Carrie Underwood nor Katharine McPhee made the list this year. Maybe that's a sign Kat shouldn't have gone blonde? Either way she's back to brunette, so maybe Kat already had an inkling she wouldn't make the cut this year?
Definitely. It's hard for me to say something negative to a contestant without giving something constructive back, and that annoys Simon. But they're kids, and you feel for them - especially when they have a story, like they've overcome cancer or something.

'Idol' BB 200: 'Carnival Ride' #53 (6/27/09)
A depleted roster of albums by Idol alums was found on the Billboard Top 200 chart for the chart week of June 27, as a few older entries found themselves off the chart while the rest seemed to continue their slides.
For the first time in a long time, Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride led the pack with another 9.5k copies sold, falling #47-53 thanks to a 10% sales dip. Its total now stands at 2.895 million.
Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted was up next at #56, falling 11 spots from the previous week. Its weekly take of 9.4k was the result of a sales decrease of 11% and adds to its total for a current sum of 612.7k. Another winner, David Cook, followed with his self-titled album, which was also down in the count by 6% and off nine spots to #72. David Cook sold 7.4k copies, putting it at 1.177 million.
Kellie Pickler was in a league of her own, though, as she saw her self-titled album advance #81-80 and rise 3% in sales to 6.8k copies for a total of 241.3k. Look for an even bigger take thanks to her performance at the CMT Music Awards earlier this week. Although Daughtry's album slipped a scant 4% sales-wise and four spots chart-wise to #101, it still moved an additional 5.1k for a total of 4.467 million.
Another album that saw a sales gain this week was Chris Botti's Chris Botti In Boston, which was up #125-108 on the chart and 12% in sales, leading to a weekly take of 4.6k. It has sold 107.4k copies to date.
And Ruben Studdard rounded out the Billboard 200's Idol representation, as his latest effort Love Is was down a hefty 40 spots to #187 and 22% in sales to 2.9k copies, presenting him with only 26.6k copies to date. Look for the album to disappear on the chart next week.

'Idol' Hot 100: "I Do Not Hook Up" #24 (6/27/09)
There was a mix of positive and negative movements for tracks by Idol alums on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the chart week of June 27.
Once again, Kelly Clarkson owned the Top 2 Idol-related tracks on the chart, with "I Do Not Hook Up" serving as the leader of the pack at #24, down four spots from last week, and "My Life Would Suck Without You" down nine spots to #36.
Next up was Jordin Sparks, as her current single "Battlefield" saw a nice climb of 19 spots to #46 thanks to a video release and increases in sales and airplay. Coming right on Jordin's heels was Daughtry and the band's latest single, "No Surprise," which was up three spots to #48.
And Kellie Pickler rounded out the Idol representation on the Hot 100 according to data made public, as her hit country single "Best Days of Your Life" was down two spots to #50, but should see more gains by next week's chart thanks to a performance at the CMT Music Awards on Tuesday.
Full chart positions courtesy of bks over on Pulse are posted below:
Hot 100
24 20 Kelly Clarkson, "I Do Not Hook Up"
36 27 Kelly Clarkson, "My Life Would Suck Without You"
46 65 Jordin Sparks, "Battlefield"
48 51 Daughtry, "No Surprise"
50 48 Kellie Pickler, "Best Days of Your Life"

CMT Awards wrap-up: Kellie performs "Best Days of Your Life"
The 2009 CMT Music Awards were a little lackluster this year thanks to a familiar face at these kinds of events skipping out on the festivities, as Carrie Underwood opted to join her mother on a mini-vacation rather than attend the show. But there was still plenty of Idol to go around at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tenn.
Although she came up empty handed in the "Female Video of the Year" for her "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" music video, Kellie Pickler was quite a presence at the awards show. After appearing onstage with Randy Jackson to present the award for "USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year," Kellie returned to perform her current hit single "Best Days of Your Life." Watch the performance below:
Before the show even started, though, Kellie turned up in the opening pre-taped sketch between host Bill Engvall and Taylor Swift, which involved Swift and Kellie colliding in the hallway before the show and landing on the floor. Watch the bit below:
The biggest honor of the night, "Video of the Year," went to Swift's "Love Story."
Also in attendance was Bucky Covington, but he was merely a spectator this time around. The awards show was broadcast live concurrently on CMT and CMT.com.

Kellie Pickler wins big at CMTs
Although Carrie Underwood stole the show with her closing performance of "All-American Girl" last night at the 2008 CMT Music Awards, it was Season 5 sixth-place finalist Kellie Pickler who was the biggest surprise of the night.
The 21-year-old native of Albermarle, N.C., swept all three categories she was nominated for (USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year, Performance of the Year and Tearjerker Video of the Year), all of which were for her emotional video for "I Wonder." Although she was in Scottsdale, Ariz. (any reason in particular?), Kellie accepted her award for Breakthrough Video via satellite and could not contain her excitement, at one point exclaiming she had never won anything before and after rambling on for a few minutes, she jokingly told the cameras to get off her.
Bucky Covington had a mini performance as the show went into a commercial break, but came up empty handed awards-wise. And Carrie proved she was only human when she lost her two categories, but her performance more than made up for the disappointment. Diana DeGarmo also made a brief appearance when she introduced Kenny Chesney along with Gone Country costars John Rich, Maureen McCormick, Sisqo and Bobby Brown.
Meanwhile, Paula Abdul tried to hold herself together as she introduced Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, but her erratic swaying while on stage and "yelling" at a hooting and hollering fan behind her made her come off as detached (what else is new?)
The opening sequence of the show, in which a manic Trace Adkins went on a desperate search for tickets to the CMT Music Awards because Miley Cyrus was co-hosting was hilarious, as it featured cameos of people from Donald Trump to the three presidential candidates and even Larry the Cable Guy.
The CMT Music Awards show was held at Belmont University in Nashville.
