US Charts

It might have been the ‘American Idol’ finale but neither ‘Idol’ posed a threat for the No. 1 position though.
American Idol winner Lee DeWyze's top seller is his cover of U2's ‘Beautiful Day’ which bows enters at No. 12 with 95,000 copies sold. Chrystal Bowersox's biggest entry is her rendition of Patty Griffin's ‘Up to the Mountain,’ debuting at No. 32 with 49,000 sold.
Lee DeWyze also posts entries on the 75-position chart with ‘Hallelujah’ (No. 20; 63,000), ‘Falling Slowly’ (with Chrystal Bowersox, No. 38; 44,000 copies sold) and ‘The Boxer’ (No. 61; 26,000 copies sold).
Last years winner Kris Allen sold 134,000 downloads of the original tune ‘No Boundaries’ in its first week, entering at No. 4. Runner-up Adam Lambert's best-seller was his redux of Tears for Fears' ‘Mad World’ with 115,000 (No. 7), and Two years ago, winner David Cook sold 236,000 copies of ‘The Time of My Life’ to go to No. 1
‘Glee’ remains at No. 1 on the albums chart for a second week, while the new release schedule was light due to the "American Idol" finale. "Showstoppers" moved 63,000 copies this week.
It's unlikely that ‘Glee’ will hold for a third week though next week as Jack Johnson new album “To the Sea” seems set to debut at No. 1 with around 250,000 copies sold by week's end on June 6, according to industry prognosticators.
