As it did for album sales, Shania Twain's mentoring turn on "American Idol" yielded a bonanza of track downloads. Twain's biggest selling track last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, was "You're Still the One" -- the song Lee DeWyze covered -- but several of her songs wound up with quadruple-digit percentage increases. And all of the performers on last week's results show -- Rascal Flatts, Shakira, Lady Antebelllum and Sons of Sylvia -- saw the songs they performed increase in sales as well.

Adam Lambert continued to have the top-selling Idol track, as "Whataya Want From Me" topped 52,000 for the week. Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" saw a week-over-week increase of 23 percent. And keep an eye on "Before He Cheats:" It looks to be three to four weeks away from reaching the three-million sales plateau.
