The premiere of American Idol did wonders for former Idol finalists that weren’t country singers. David Cook jumped back into the Top 10, as 31,000 people bought his debut album, 58 percent more than the previous week’s 19,000. Cook did even better on the digital side, with a whopping 140 percent increase, going from nearly 3,000 to 7,000. That’s enough to push from from 35 on SoundScan’s Current Digital Albums chart to 7. He’ll pass 100,000 digital-album sales next week — he’s at 892,000 overall. (Only seven albums on the 50-spot Current Digital Albums chart saw sales increases last week. David had the biggest percentage increase of any of them except for the Boxer Rebellion’s Union, which made its debut.)
