According to Nielsen SoundScan, the post-Christmas week was slow for all album sales. But many American Idols seemed to be hit especially hard:
- Chris Daughtry is the new Idol champ on the charts for this week, but he fell from No. 8 to No. 11 after selling 76,000, compared

is this updated each week? Also does anyone know where you can get album sales figure each week - I have seen several rankings, some that publish how much they sold that week, but can't find ranking, weekly sales, and cumulative sales.
