For the first time in album chart history, one former American Idol contestant, Carrie Underwood, turns over the top of the album chart to another one, Adam Lambert. It is now three consecutive weeks at the top of the chart for Idols. Comedy band Tenacious D earn their best chart placing yet as Rize of the Fenix, opening at #4, eclipses the #8 opening fo the last album The Pick Of Destiny. Glee'sGraduation Album manages to open in the top 10, but it is the weakest performance yet for an album of songs from the show.
