Take out the trucks/SUVs/minivans (you Americans sure love your gas guzzlers!) and the Cobalt rises to 8th place among cars and 3rd among compacts, behind only the Civic and Corolla.
The news is good in Canada too. From CanadianDriver.com:
As you can see, we love our compacts up here and it's an incredibly competitive field. Damn you Sunfire! 
I'm pretty sure the Pursuit (not in the top ten because of the Sunfire) is counted separately from the Cobalt so the two of them combined would move it further up the ranks.
The news is good in Canada too. From CanadianDriver.com:
The top ten passenger vehicles in Canada for May 2005 were the Mazda3, Honda Civic sedan and coupe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Echo, Pontiac Sunfire, Ford Focus, Toyota Matrix, Chevrolet Cobalt, Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Impala.
