Several Idols saw significant percentage increases of their weekly sales last week, but the 2011 Grammy Nominees compilation took Adam Lambert highest on The Billboard 200. That set, which features Best Male Pop Vocal Performance nominee Whataya Want From Me, debuted at No. 4, selling 38,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan.The four Idol albums in the Billboard 200 all saw double-digit percentage gains, with Crystal Bowersox leading the pack, her Farmer's Daughter selling 8,000 copies and landing at No. 60. Carrie Underwood, Fantasia and Daughtry all made the top 200, but Season 9 winner Lee DeWyze fell off the chart.

Here is another comment about the fifth single:

"Carrie Underwood’s Play On is inching closer to double platinum as word came down that she not only won’t be releasing a fifth single from the record but she was 'snubbed’ from getting an ACM Award nomination for Entertainer of the Year this year, particularly when she won the last two years in a row"

Interesting.

Something very fishy is going on. I hope Carrie is leaving her label, hopefully..... as the lack of a 5th single for PO, while Miranda gets one, is very frustrating, not to mention the ACMs snubs and all the label support on Miranda.

sick of all of this.

I don't think Carrie is leaving Arista, I think it just means she wants to take some off time before she releases a new song to radio. Even when a lot of people say she could have a song on the radio climbing naturally without doing anything, I think having a song on the carts requires always some work from her. Plus, if they're going to come out with album #4 earlier this year (I mean, earlier compared to previuos album-release-dates), leaving some off-Carrie time on the radio is very smart.
UI definitly passed the millon mark this week, so in a few weeks, we'll have that certification!

the label probably doesn't want to give carrie over exposure to build anticipation for the next album. which is a smart move because that would cut into potential buyers for the next abum
