After going without complete, reliable album sales data for Idol alums for a month, we finally have a full update!
Upon analyzing the numbers, what we found was a host of steadily declining entries that accurately represent the performance of most albums on the overall chart. Leading things off was Daughtry's Leave This Town, which slid 12% in sales to 33.3k copies, accompanied by a #8-9 decrease on the chart. It has sold 547.4k in its first month-and-a-half of release. The band's first effort, however, saw a 4% uptick in sales to 4.3k and actually went up one spot to #104, marking a current tally of 4.517 million copies.
Up second was Jordin Sparks' Battlefield, which fell #54-63 thanks to a 14% sales dip to 7.3k. It has only sold 92.6k to date. Following Jordin was another winner, Kelly Clarkson, who witnessed her All I Ever Wanted slip a similar 14% in sales to 5.8k for a total of 680.2k. On the chart side, it was down 13 spots to #80.
Next up was the random exclusive Season 8 5-song EP, which was down #85-108 to 4.1k following a sales dip of 21%. It has sold 33.7k copies in a matter of weeks. The other Season 8 entry, the Walmart exclusive album, was off 31 spots to #147 with a weekly take of 3k for a current total of 60.9k It was down by 20% compared to the previous week.
A pair of female country artists had albums separated by just three spots, as Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride was down #96-114 and Kellie Pickler's Kellie Pickler fell #93-117. The former album was down 13% to 3.9k for a total of 2.954 million, while the latter slipped 21% to 3.8k for a total of 297.8k.

Chris and the boys saw their sophomore release Leave This Town hold steady at #2 despite a 38% drop in sales to 62k. The album's total is 432.4k after three weeks. Their other entry, Daughtry, saw positive movement as it climbed #84-78 with 4.9k, down 8% for a total of 4.504 million.
Last week's new entry, Jordin Sparks' Battlefield, tumbled 63% to 17.7k for a two-week total of 65.6k copies. On the chart side it fell 14 spots to #21. Next up was Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted, which surged ahead 27 spots to #59 thanks to a sales bump of 30%. It claimed another 6.8k copies for the week for a total of 661.4k.
Following Kelly was the Season 8 Walmart exclusive album, which received an additional 6k despite a 26% decrease in sales for a 49.3k total. It slipped #53-65 for the week. Kellie Pickler saw her sophomore album slip in sales but rise on the chart, as it was down 5% to 5.7k but up three spots to #69. It has sold 283.7k copies to date.
Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride saw positive activity on both fronts, as its sales jumped 9% to 5.5k copies and it rose on the chart 16 spots to #72 for a total of 2.940 million. And David Cook familiarly closed out Idol representation on the Billboard 200, as his self-titled album took in 4.1k copies, off 14% from the previous week, for a total of 1.214 million. In the chart rankings, it was only off three spots to #93.
