American Idols Albums do well in record sales 

Sales figures are in and it looks like Taylor Hicks‘ ”Soul Patrol” fan base is no match for Chris Daughtry’s rock brigade.

Hicks, the polarizing winner of this season’s American Idol, sold 298,000 copies of his eponymous album to land the No. 2 spot on next week’s Billboard 200 (behind rapper Young Jeezy). Daughtry, who finished Idol in fourth place, sparking an outcry from fans who figured he’d win the crown, managed 304,000 copies recently with his self-titled debut and is still riding the Top 10.

In other Idol news, last year’s winner, Carrie Underwood, accumulated 11 weeks atop Billboard’s Country Singles chart with two releases — Jesus Take the Wheel and Before He Cheats. This puts her ahead of other female country vocalists for most weeks at No. 1 in a calendar year for singles.
