Last week "Home," by the new American Idol champion Phillip Phillips, sold 278,000 digital copies and debuted at #2 on the digital sales chart. That was also enough copies to be the biggest selling digital sales week for any American Idol coronation song. Back in the early days of the show when CD singles were still common, both Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard sold more copies of their first releases after the show's finale.
