'Idol' album sales: Clarkson, Daughtry, more

Kelly Clarkson sees a 44% increase in her week-to-week sales, making her Stronger album the week's top seller from an American Idol act, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Carrie Underwood's Blown Away comes in right behind her, though -- with the numbers rounded to the nearest thousand, they're even, coming in on The Billboard 200 at Nos. 19 and 21, respectively.

Daughtry, who has seen a two-week surge in sales for Break the Spell, returns to the Billboard chart this week, one of five Idol acts to make the top 200.
