Yay, more exposure! he's on the home page of their website with the caption "Interact: Ask Billboard: Questions about Chris Daughtry, Kevin Federline (why on earth are they putting Kevin in a sentence that involves Chris Daughtry and Madonna?! that's just so wrong!) and Madonna"

it's currently giving an error message when you click it now, but im sure it'll be up and running in no time.

Keith,

O.K., I have a two-part question.

How exactly does Billboard count digitally downloaded tracks? If the whole album is downloaded, does each track count as one unit sold or does it only count as one album sold?

Chris Daughtry had the highest debut two weeks ago on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Wanted Dead or Alive" from "American Idol Season 5: The Encores"). Who had the highest track sales from any "Rock Star: INXS" album (not including the INXS' own "Switch")?

Thanks,

Hi Jack,

If you buy a whole album at one time (for example, using the "Buy Album" button on iTunes), it counts as one album sold. If a consumer buys one or multiple tracks from an album separately, those count as a "track purchase."

Chris Daughtry's cover of "Wanted Dead or Alive" was indeed the Hot Shot Debut on The Billboard Hot 100 on June 10. The song, powered by its digital track sales, entered at No. 43. Last week, it slipped to No. 52.

On June 10, "Wanted" debuted on Hot Digital Songs with 27,000 digital downloads. The following week, it sold 22,000 and moved to No. 29.

Chalk up Daughtry's fervent fanbase and their downloads for his handsome chart action on the Billboard Hot 100. Though the Hot 100 ranks titles by blending radio airplay and sales data, his large download sales are what got him onto the chart.

"Wanted Dead or Alive" is by the far the most popular download from the "American Idol Season 5: Encores" album. So far, it has sold 49,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The runner-up is Taylor Hicks' "Takin' It to the Streets" with 28,000. The least popular? Kevin Covais' "When I Fall in Love" with nearly 2,000 downloads.

Switching gears to your "Rock Star: INXS" question. The most downloaded track from the "Rock Star: A Night At the Mayan" compilation album is Jordis Unga's "The Man Who Sold the World" with 5,000 downloads.
