IDOL WORSHIP

Congratulations to Chris Daughtry - the biggest selling artist in the U.S. for 2007!

Yup, the American Idol alum's Daughtry sold 3.2 million copies this year, continuing a trend of domination by the talent competition.

Carrie Underwood also previously held the titles of U.S. sales champ.

Behind Daughtry this year was Akon, whose Konvicted sold 2.7 million and spawned many hit singles.

Disney star Miley Cyrus, surprisingly, was the biggest selling female artist of the year, selling 2.5 million copies of the latest Hannah Montana soundtrack.

She was followed closely by Fergie, who sold 2.4 million copies of her debut solo album. It should be noted, though, that The Dutchess was originally released in 2006, so Fergie's success in '07 is that much more noteworthy.

And, rounding out the list of the top selling albums of the year is another American Idol alum, Carrie Underwood, whose Some Hearts sold 2.3 million copies. Her album came out in '06 too!
