Idol Billboard Update for Issue 4/12/08
This week’s Idol Billboard Update HERE!
The Highlights:
- Well, well! Look who’s at the top of the Idol Chart this week. Is it Daughtry, Daughtry? Carnival Ride, Carrie Underwood? Nope, NOPE! It’s Jordin Sparks, Jordin Sparks, climbing from 29 to 25 this week. Not all is rosy, however. Although her chart position is up, her sales decreased -28% from last week. Her hit with Chris Brown “No Air”, is sitting at #5 on the Hot 100–it’s highest chart position on the chart yet. It debuts on the Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart this week at #37. She and Chris will sing their single on next week’s special Thursday results show. Perhaps pushing album sales into the positive and the album and single further up the charts? We shall see. The digital single is nearly platinum–to date it’s sold 972,406.
- Carrie Underwood’s next single, “Last Name” hits the Hot 100 Bubbling Under Chart at #8. It’s currently #21 on the the Hot Country Songs chart.

So I guess it’s pick the plant we love/hate the most. Frankly I can’t like or dislike someone because he or she had a dream that they want to pursue. As long as it doesn’t include any illegal activity good on them. I just base my choices on do I enjoy their singing or not. Truly there were no real Cinderella stories as far as I am concerned. If Ramiele had gone further she probably would have been the closest thing to a Cinderella story, period.
I don’t see how Jason could be considered a plant. According to his AI video, he had only sang in public 5 times before he auditioned for the show. He was a drummer in his band, he did not sing. AI did not show him at all until he made Top 24. He was cannon fodder but he dodged the hit by giving good performances.
I’m thrilled for Jordin. She has sold a boatload of singles. Maybe after she starts touring with Alicia Keys her CD sales will go up too. I wish her well. After all, she’s only 18.
It’s amazing how Country Music radio embraces all of Carrie’s released songs. Must be great to be her.
Well not for me because I just don’t care that much. I watch now strictly for entertainment and so I can participate in the office coffee chat. Also, I have to participate in discussions here!
Well I don’t know about this year because it’s hard to keep up with who had a lable and who was on which tv show. I do think there have been some Cinderella stories in the past even though they didn’t win.
