The numbers are in!

The past 12 months have treated many artists in the music industry extreeeemely well, while others haven't had quite the same luck with their new releases.

So who came out on top???

The biggest albums of the year sales-wise appear to be Taylor Swift's Fearless (3.7 million copies sold), Michael Jackson's #1's (3 million!!), Beyonce's I Am… Sasha Fierce (2.4 million) and rounding out the bunch is the ever-popular Twilight soundtrack, which sold a massive 2.2 million copies.

Honorable mentions?

Check out the list:

Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana Soundtrack) 1.5 million copies
Miley Cyrus BREAKOUT 1.5 million copies
Lady GaGa 1.4 million copies
Pink 1.3 million copies
Eminem 1.4 million copies
Britney Spears 1.6 million copies
Rascal Flatts 1 million copies
David Cook 1.2 million copies
Jason Mraz 1.3 million copies
NeYo 1.1 million copies
Katy Perry 1.1 million copies
Kanye West 1.6 million copies
U2 1 Million copies
Dave Matthews Band 900,000 copies
Maxwell 750,000 copies

This year has seen its fair share of bombs as well!

Not everyone can do well!

The Jonas Brothers fever must be cooling, because the boys only managed to sell 520,000 copies of their new album!

Disney darling Demi Lovato also bombed big time, pushing only 240,000 copies of Here We Go Again.

Other losers include Jordin Sparks (105,000 copies), Green Day (750,000 units) and Miz Kelly Clarkson, who sold 675,000 copies of her new album.

Do U agree with the numbers????

Jordin Spark's new single, S.O.S. (Let The Music Play), is likely going to bomb. Radio has turned a could shoulder to the song.

American Idol winner and VMA rebel rouser Jordin "not everybody — guy or girl — wants to be a slut" Sparks told EW that she stands by the comment she made at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, though she wishes she could've reworded it a bit:

"It's something I feel strongly about. I wish I would've worded it differently — that somebody who doesn't wear a promise ring isn't necessarily a slut — but I can't take it back now. It was a split-second thing, and it came out kind of wrong. Still, I don't regret it."

When she was asked how she felt about the purity-bashing VMA host, Russell Brand, the Idol said, "I have nothing against him at all."

Between the Jonai, Jordan, and Miley, young Hollywood's beginning to look like church camp.

And Slutty Cyrus is Mary Magdalene!

This is truly amazing!

Almost two months since it's release, Josh Groban's new album, the Christmas collection Noel, is topping the charts in America.

The record moved 405,041 copies in the last seven days, according to the new Soudscan charts. That's almost DOUBLE the amount he sold in the previous week!

Why the huge jump?

Groban appeared on Oprah's "Favorite Things" show last Tuesday.

Magic!

Groban's album has already been certified platinum. Good going!

Also crazy this week, Disney's High School Musical 2 soundtrack has jumped back into the Top Ten.

Blame Tina!

Four months after its release, the High School Musical 2 soundtrack is #6 this week, selling 182,962 copies - bringing its total album sales to 2.3 million!

Alicia Keys's latest CD continues to move massive amounts. Her As I Am sold 348,548 copies this past week.

American Idol alum Jordin Sparks managed to sell 119,119 copies in her debut week. Unfortunately, that was only good enough for a tenth place finish! That's the lowest first week sales of any Idol winner ever.

Fellow Idol champ Carrie Underwood, continues to do very well. Her latest, Carnival Ride, in its 5th week is outperforming Sparks.

Carrie moved an additional 141,406 copies this week. Her album has already gone platinum.

According to industry projections, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks's debut CD is expected to come in at #2 this week, behind Alicia Keys' As I Am, which will dominate throughout the holiday season.

This is surprising to us. We really like Jordin's single, Tattoo.

Spark's album is expected to sell between 90,000 to 100,000 - making it the lowest debut for an American Idol winner ever.

Even some runners up have sold more in their first weeks!

That must hurt. Just a little.
