Elton John sales rocket after 'American Idol' theme week

American Idol's Elton John theme paid off handsomely for the singer last week. Not only did his Rocket Man: Number Ones compilation jump more than 400% in weekly sales, but four of his songs performed on the show made Nielsen SoundScan's list of the week's 200 top-selling digital tracks, as well.

John's top-selling track: Tiny Dancer, which was performed on the show by Stefano Langone. Also making the list: Bennie and the Jets, Your Song and Rocket Man.

Jennifer Lopez's On the Floor sold an additional 130,000. It'll easily pass the million-download mark this week, as will Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's Don't You Wanna Stay, which had 40,000 downloads.

Also, after debuting atop SoundScan's Music Video chart last week, Adam Lambert sells an addition 4,000 copies of his Glam Nation Live DVD this week. That's enough to keep him at No. 2, behind a Les Miserables: 25th Anniversary in Concert release that features Nick Jonas.

Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull, On the Floor (130,000, +3%, 989,000)
Jason Aldean/Kelly Clarkson, Don't You Wanna Stay (40,000, -3%, 997,000)
Jennifer Lopez feat. Lil Wayne, I'm Into You (21,000, debut, 21,000)
