Chris Daughtry’s debut album has been on the charts since its release nearly two years ago, but last week, sales got a boost with the release of the enhanced, two-disk version of Daughtry. Billboard has bundled sales of the new album with the earlier release for charting purposes, and as a result, Daughtry jumped from #79 to #36 on the Billboard 200, reflecting sales of over 13,000 units, nearly double its sales for the previous week.

Daughtry reentered the Top Rock Albums chart at #12, and is #7 on Top Hard Rock Albums and #8 on Top Modern Rock/Alternative Albums.

Carrie Underwood’s Carnival Ride dropped four spots to #45 on the Billboard 200 and one spot to #5 on Top Country Albums. Jordin Sparks dropped to #101 from #88 on the Billboard 200.

Chris Sligh’s Running Back to You is #40 on Top Christian Albums and #50 on Top Christian and Gospel Albums.

Rounding out the Idol albums on this week’s charts, Josh Gracin’s We Weren’t Crazy is #74 Top Country Albums and Bucky Covington jumps up five spots to #50.

Next week we’ll be watching to see where Kristy Lee Cook’s Why Wait ends up its first week.
