Sales Boosted, Yet Meteora Slips.

[Mark]

Today, Linkin Park's "Meteora" dropped from #2-#6 on the Billboard Top 200 charts for the week of April 17th-22nd. The top spot was taken by American Idol Finalist, Kelly Clarkson with her debut album, and was followed by 50 Cent in a close 2nd.

Although the downfall may have been a little more than just a small move, there was a positive. Close to 193,000 copies of "Meteora" were sold last week, a 3% increase from last week's 186,000 units bought.

The sad part is that she cheated on that show and no one found out until the end.

The show, I guess, is for amateurs, and she already had a record deal. Once she won the show, she broke her old contract and got the new one.

It's sad.
