HannahMontana3 This week's top-selling Idol-related album actually isn't even an Idol album at all. It's the soundtrack from the third season of Hannah Montana, which features a duet with David Archuleta called I Wanna Know You.

Elsewhere. according to Nielsen SoundScan, the Rock of Ages cast recording (featuring Constantine Maroulis) returns to the chart with its physical CD release. Sales of Jennifer Hudson's album pick up after her performance during the Michael Jackson tribute. And I've managed to get hold of some of the catalog numbers several of you have been requesting. Lots of stats this week (which is why I'm posting so late in the day), so enjoy!
