 |  Subject: Album sales: Carrie Underwood's back on top; Adam Lambert approaches a half-mil  04.02.10 2:34 | |

- The real Grammy bump starts with next week's Nielsen SoundScan numbers, but you can already see some things start to tick up this week, as many of the big nominees (like Album of the Year contenders Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Dave Matthews and the Black-Eyed Peas all see week-over-week sales increases going into Grammy night.
Carrie Underwood sees a small uptick, enough to make Play On this week's best-selling American Idol album, as Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment falls back 22 percent. Adam's still enjoying the effect of his Oprah appearance, though: His 15,000 units for the week represent a 28 percent increase over his numbers the week before he appeared on the show, and he should easily pass the half-million mark during the course of this week.
