Maroon 5, Fergie top 2007 iTunes sales

Apple's online music store iTunes announced its best sellers for 2007, with pop band Maroon 5's It Won't Be Soon Before Long topping the album list and hip-hop diva Fergie scoring the year's most downloaded single via "Big Girls Don't Cry." Proving some listeners are into music that isn't crap, neo-soul chanteuse Amy Winehouse came in second on the album list with the brilliant Back to Black, while rapper Kanye West followed in third with Graduation. Daughtry's self-titled debut and Colbie Caillat's Coco rounded out the top five.

Fergie also notched 2007's fifth best-selling iTunes single with "Glamorous"--Gwen Stefani's "The Great Escape" placed second, followed by emo band Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah" and sullen teen Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend." iTunes did not release actual sales figures.
