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.

Next up was Daughtry's self-titled album, which continued to chug away with another 5.3k copies sold for a total of 4.462 million. It was down 19 spots to #97 and fell 16% sales-wise. Chris Botti followed with his live album Chris Botti In Boston, which slipped one spot to #125 and was up 5% to 4.1k for the week. Its total now stands at 102.8k.
Continuing its downward trend was Ruben Studdard's latest album Love Is, falling 46 spots to 147 and selling 3.7k for the week thanks to a 24% decrease in sales. After just a few weeks of release, the album has posted total sales of 23.7k. Jennifer Hudson followed with sales of her self-titled album reaching a new total of 741.7k. For the week, the album's sales were 14% lower to 3k copies and it was down 30 spots to #166.

And the original cast soundtrack recording of the Broadway musical Rock of Ages, which features Constantine Maroulis, debuted at #193 with 2.6k.

'Idol' BB 200: 'David Cook' #29 (6/6/09)
A few debuts marked the Idol representation on the Billboard Top 200 chart for the chart week of June 6, but it was David Cook who was able to fend off the onslaught of competition.
Cook's post-Idol effort jumped #61-29 to 16.7k copies, representing an 111% increase for a total of 1.151 million. The biggest debut on the chart from an alum came in the form of Adam Lambert's collection of Season 8 studio versions of songs he performed while on the show, which came in at #33 with 15.7k copies sold in all (digital only).
The previous debut was stronger than Ruben Studdard's latest album Love Is, which came in a few rungs below Adam's digital album at #36 with 15.2k copies. This is the lowest debut Ruben has ever seen an album enter with. Next up was the fourth studio album from another winner, Kelly Clarkson, as All I Ever Wanted slid 24% in sales to 13.3k copies and fell by half to #40. It has moved 581k copies to date.
Carrie Underwood stepped up to the plate next, as her Carnival Ride barely lost ground with a 5% sales decline to a 12k weekly take. It was down 11 spots to #44 and now has a total of 2.864 million. From one winner to another, Kris Allen's collection of studio versions debuted at #50 with 10.2k copies, which was a whole 5.5k less than Adam's similar entry.
Daughtry showed up to the party next with its debut record, dropping 19% in sales to 5.9k and slipping 23 spots to #89. Its total is now at a formidable 4.450 million. Kellie Pickler was directly behind at #90 with her self-titled album, which was up 16 spots from the previous week and sold another 5.9k copies. It witnessed a healthy 26% sales increase and has sold 221.9k in all.
Next up on the roster was Chris Botti's Chris Botti In Boston, which was down 10% to 4.7k copies, marking a #89-111 slide, placing its total at 94.8k copies. Fight For Love, Elliott Yamin's sophomore effort, came in at #133, down from #74 the previous week, and sold 3.9k copies. Its sales depreciation was at a rate of 40% and its total is now 30.5k.
Jennifer Hudson's self-titled album was one spot behind at #134, down 38 spots from the previous week thanks to a 20% sales slip. It bagged another 3.9k for a total of 735.1k copies. And David Archuleta rounded things out with another 2.8k copies moved, down 10% from the previous week's take, and downsized on the chart #161-193. Its total is now 704.9k.

HITS estimates: Cook 18k; Ruben 14.7k
The Idol finale was kind to some and not to others when it came to HITS Daily Double's Top 50 building album sales chart for the week, as a re-entry led the way among alums.
David Cook's self-titled effort saw a resurgence on the chart thanks to an emotional performance of "Permanent" on last Wednesday's Idol finale, sending the album back into the Top 50 at #26 with 18k copies sold.
Next up was the latest studio album from Season 2 champ Ruben Studdard, as his Love Is made its mark at #34 with 14.7k copies, which is the velvet teddy bear's lowest opening cume to date.
Two more winners followed Ruben, as Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted slid 26% to 12.7k copies and was done 22 spots to #42, while Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride saw a much smaller 1% slip to 12.2k copies, down #35-44.
Exact figures will be available as soon as the Billboard 200 chart is made public, which should be later this week.

'Idol' odds 'n ends: Kat nabs a role on 'CSI: NY'
The following are Idol-related odds and ends that happened this week:
>It was announced Wednesday that Katharine McPhee would be the latest Idol alum to have a guest role on a CBS show, following in the footsteps of Mikalah Gordon and Chris Daughtry. Kat will play none other than a singer on an episode of CSI: NY, which is slated to air sometime in April.
>30-second clips of all the songs on Kelly Clarkson's latest album All I Ever Wanted were today made available on iTunes. Shortly thereafter, the album leaked in full.
>Clay Aiken has been ousted from his record label of four years. According to Billboard, RCA and Clay quietly parted ways a few months ago, but nothing had been made public until today. RCA has now dropped every Idol runner-up it has signed since the show began.
>The full schedule for Jennifer Hudson's tour, which she is co-headlining with Robin Thicke, was revealed this week. The tour will visit 19 U.S. cities between March 31 and May 8, beginning in Albany, N.Y. and finishing in Houston, Tex.
>Ruben Studdard seems to be in a bit of trouble with the tax brigade. According to The Detroit News, Ruben currently owes $254,119 in federal taxes. Maybe sales from his new single "Together" and his upcoming album Love IS will help offset these accumulated no-nos?
