Some quick notes: Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying, if it can sell about 700 more downloads this week than it did last week, will pass the 1 million mark. Meanwhile, Adam Lambert's Whataya Want From Me very nearly unseated it as the week's best-selling Idol track. Also, several tracks that the Top 24 performed during Hollywood made nice gains in downloads this week, notably Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror and Colbie Caillat's Bubbly.
