Despite a nice debut by We Are the Fallen's Tear Down the World at #31 last week, it wasn't able to hang on for a second week.
That left Carrie Underwood's Play On as the sole Idol-related album on the chart, as it rose two spots to #33 but was down 13% in sales. It pulled in 11.7k copies for the week.
Since this is finale week, don't expect full sales and chart positions courtesy of Billboard.

HITS estimates: 'Tear the World Down' #31 w/ 13.7k
We Are the Fallen, a group composed of Season 7 sixth-place finalist Carly Smithson and former Evanescence band members, saw its debut album Tear the World Down debut at #31 with 13.7k copies, which is relatively healthy for an album having to do with an non-winner alum from a few seasons ago nowadays.
Down only two spots from the previous week to #33 was Carrie Underwood's Play On, which fell a mild 32% sales-wise this week for a 13.4k weekly take.
Try this: I dare you to look for full sales figures from Billboard later on in the week.
IDOL LIVE Blog - Top 3 Perform (5/18/10)
Tonight marks the most important point of Idol's ninth season so far, as the Top 3 finalists aim to earn a spot in the coveted Top 2. Although everyone and their mother seems to be pegging Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze as the pair to beat, don't count Casey James out! If you really care about the show, vote goat!
We already know the judges' picks for each contestant, as one third of their performance sets were revealed to them when they returned to their hometowns over the weekend. Will Lee be able to top Tim Urban's version of "Hallelujah"? Will Casey be karaoke on "Daughters"? Will Crystal resonate with anyone for her rendition of "Maybe I'm Amazed"? Well, you can only find out by tuning in (or following along here!)
As usual, please feel free to add your two cents throughout the one-hour blogcast. Coverage starts just prior to 8 p.m. ET.
Tonight's blogcast features the music of Chikezie, David Archuleta, Jason Castro, Jordin Sparks and We Are the Fallen.

'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.

We Are The Fallen testing "Bury Me Alive" on HitPredictor
.jpg)
There was a big hoopla surrounding Carly Smithson and ex-members of Evanescence with the announcement of a new collaboration through the formation of a new band, We Are The Fallen, in late June. Although things have cooled off since the announcement, the band has still been posting regularly on its official Facebook fan page.
One thing the band stated back when the announcement was made was that they would be taking a nontraditional approach in releasing music. Instead of recording a bunch of songs and then releasing an album, they are going to release songs as singles every so often and then create a compilation out of the singles in the form of an album. But when it comes to the band's first single "Bury Me Alive," not much has been happening with the song since it was put on its official music MySpace page and made available as a free download to the first 100,000 fans. It did, however, appear on the music testing site HitPredictor.com (formerly Promosquad.com), which signals that the band might be interested in sending the single to radio.
The only question is, which format is being targeted here? The mystery will continue to unravel.

We Are the Fallen releases single amid tech difficulties
Carly Smithson's new band, We Are the Fallen (previously known as The Fallen), today released its much anticipated debut single "Bury Me Alive" as a free download on its official Web site to the first 100,000 subscribers of their newsletter. The only problem: the downloads were not sent to subscribers. Hear it straight from Carly's mouth below:
In the meantime, fans can hear the single on the band's official music MySpace page.
