I know this was news a couple of weeks ago, but it took me some time to compile the entire chart.
The big Billboard winners for 2007 are Chris Daughtry, who has 11 #1 chart positions, and Carrie Underwood, with 5 #1 positions. Daughtry is the #1 selling artist for the Billboard year. Carrie Underwood is the #1 female artist and the #1 country album artist.
Fourteen Idols make an appearance on the 2007 charts:
- Bucky Covington
- Carrie Underwood
- Chris Daughtry
- Elliott Yamin
- Fantasia
- Jennifer Hudson
- Jordin Sparks
- Katharine McPhee
- Kellie Pickler
- Kelly Clarkson
- Kimberley Locke
- Mandisa
- Ruben Studdard
- Taylor Hicks
Check out the chart to see how the rest of the Idols did. Will the Idols fare as well come 2008? That remains to be seen. Carrie’s “Carnival Ride” is sure to be a big winner next year. Taylor Hicks, Daughtry and Jennifer Hudson are some of the Idols planning album releases for the coming year. And, new releases by Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis could figure on next year’s charts.
Any thoughts on what the new year might bring?
