Former ‘American Idol’ runner-up Adam Lambert pushed his fellow ‘Idol’ alum off the top spot of the Billboard 200 chart to score his first No. 1 album with ‘Trespassing’. Lambert’s second studio album sold 77,000 copies in its first week, a significantly lower debut than Underwood’s ‘Blown Away’ debut two weeks ago, which sold 267,000 copies to score the top spot on the chart.
‘Blown Away’ fell to No. 3 this week, behind Adele’s juggernaut ‘21’, which added a further 63,000 copies to its phenomenal sales record this week. Lambert joins six other former ‘Idol’ contestants who have topped the album chart — Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken, Chris Daughtry and Scotty McCreery.
