Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's Don't You Wanna Stay remains the top-selling track featuring an American Idol act this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. But, of the four acts with singles among SoundScan's top 200, only Adam Lambert sees week-to-week sales growth. Adam fell off the chart last week, partly due to the 46 Beatles tracks that swamped the chart. He's back this week, with a weekly sales increase of 22% for If I Had You. Also in this week's top 200: Carrie Underwood's Mama's Song and Daughtry's September.
