"Crystal Bowersox&amp;#039;s debut album Farmer&amp;#039;s Daughter has posted higher sales during its first week than Lee DeWyze&amp;#039;s debut effort did. Billboard reports that second-place finisher Bowersox sold over 19,000 more units than winner DeWyze&amp;#039;s Live It Up in its first week, selling 58,000 copies. Despite outselling her former competition, Bowersox&amp;#039;s album didn&amp;#039;t live up to other American Idol runner-up sales from former seasons. Her album only ranked higher than season one runner-up Justin Guarini, whose debut album sold 57,000 copies, and season three&amp;#039;s second-place finisher Diana Degarmo, who sold 47,000 copies. On the other end of the spectrum, eighth-season runner-up Adam Lambert sold 198,000 copies of his For Your Entertainment album in the first week of sales. Season two&amp;#039;s second-place finisher Clay Aiken posted sales of 613,000 copies of Measure of a Man in that album&amp;#039;s first week of release. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
