Adamlevine Daughtry and "High School Musical 2" are duking it out to see which will be the top-selling album of the year, but in Apple's world, Maroon 5 is the top dog. While Apple did not release sales figures, a little bit of math could give us a ballpark figure.

The digital sales represent 17% of the album's 1.439 million units sold.
