Voice un article que j'ai trouver:
Citation :Following the news this week that new "American Idol" David Cook placed a whopping 14 songs on the U.S. digital songs chart comes some staggering sales figures from Nielsen SoundScan. During the week of the finale, the 10 "Idol" finalists sold a total of 1.5 million digital downloads, led by Cook, who moved 924,000 of them.
"Idol" runner-up David Archuleta sold 323,000 downloads, and Jason Castro was a distant third with 64,000 copies. Two things to note: The sales figures represent multiple tracks from the artists, and fans were encouraged to download the songs this week, as most of them disappeared from Apple's iTunes store Wednesday night. So if you were wondering why America seemed a little brighter -- perhaps just a little happier -- on Thursday, there was your reason (sorry, boss).
The kind kids at Show Tracker noted that songs from Cook and Archuleta would still be available after the Wednesday night deadline, but an iTunes search for "Archuleta" did not reveal any songs. It appears that his soullessly professional version of John Lennon's "Imagine" can no longer (legally) infect MP3 players.
So here's the complete breakdown:
Cook: 942,000 downloads
Archuleta: 323,000 downloads
Castro: 64,000 downloads
Brooke White: 47,000 downloads
Michael Johns: 40,000 downloads
Carly Smithson: 33,000 downloads
Syesha Mercado: 18,000 downloads
Kristy Lee Cook: 10,000 downloads
Chikezie: 5,000 downloads
Ramiele Malubay: 3,000 downloads
Artists who appeared on the "Idol" finale also saw a nice benefit. Carrie Underwood's "Last Name" went from 22,000 downloads to 64,000, and OneRepublic's sappy "Apologize" rocketed from 6,000 downloads to 40,000.

Et a noter que ceci est seulement les chansons d'idol et non leur album qui est disponible sur I-Tunes
Nombre de chansons vendus sur Itunes
Les ventes de Cook sont complètement INSANE. Ça prouve qu'il est vraiment hot en ce moment. Si son album est de qualité et que RCA se décident a lui donner un peu de promotion, il pourrait très bien aller rejoindre Daughtry côté vente.
Et Archie est pas en reste. Il est le premier runner-up à pas avoir eu de vrai single depuis Justin Guarini, et malgré ça il réussi à vendre. J'ai très hâte à son album.
