This week’s Idol Billboard Update right here. Play along.
The Highlights:
- The highest charting Idol on the Billboard 200 this week is Daughtry at #17. All the Idols on the Billboard 200 took a hit this week. Daughtry’s sales numbers decreased 33% from last week.
- Fantasia is the first Idol to reach #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. “When I See U” is the 128th #1 for the American Idol franchise.
- Elliott Yamin’s “Wait For You” from his self-titled debut is a bonafide hit, and it continues to climb the charts this week: From #28 to #25 on the Billboard Hot 100, #45 to #33 on the Hot 100 Airplay, from #16 to #14 on the Pop 100, it stays steady at #12 on the Pop 100 Airplay, from #40 to #39 on the Hot Adult Top 40, from #24 to #21 on the Hot Digital Tracks and from #29 to #24 on the Hot Digital Songs. WHEW.
- Mandisa’s single, “Only The World, keeps it’s #1 position on the Singles Sales chart for the 3rd week in a row.
- Daughtry’s “Home” keeps its #1 position for the 4th week on the Hot Adult Top 40 chart.
- Kimberley Locke’s “Change” climbs to the #6 spot on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart. Unfortunately, the album “Based on a True Story” has sold only 12,000 units.

I think I feel a small, tiny tear in one eye… ;-)
Y’all! Go buy JPL’s “Stories from Hollywood.” It’s still my favorite Idol album (although I haven’t heard them all). It deserves to do better!!!!!! Pretty please?
I can’t believe he’s only sold 900 copies. :(
I promise I’m not just a fangirl. I didn’t even see his season.
I can’t believe that either, pj! I DID watch his season - avidly! He was my first, bonafide AI love!
It is sad about Kimberley Locke’s album. It is really a great album. I would encourage any of you to buy it. It is worth the money. Change keeps moving up. They are going to push it to Hot AC on Monday…I think it will help a lot.
I think it didn’t get enough press about it, that’s why it isn’t selling. Buy it, if you haven’t!
Actually there was a typo in Taylor’s number this week. It should be 1,000, not 100.
Big ouch to Ayla and JPL’s sales. They probably could’ve done better if they sold their CDs from the trunk of their cars..
Good catch. It was my mistake on the sales number thread. I’ve fixed it over on that thread. Sorry about that.
In fairness to JPL, isn’t he unsigned and his CD self-produced? That’s complete balls to include him in that list, unless maybe Ken Barnes just felt like being a dick. Judging by his dismissive, why-did-you-wait-your-readers’-time “review” of the CD, I’d say there’s a decent chance of it.
It’s a good CD, whether it sells 900 or 900K — that’s just 899,100 record buyers’ losses — to say nothing of the fact that Jon should be commended for following through and getting it out there (especially after turning down, by his description, Teen Pop Heartthrob deals).
See, MJ, I can still TruFan when I want to!
