Here’s this week’s and  last week’s  Idols Billboard Chart for you all.  

Highlights:

  • Constantine Maroulis debuted on the Billboard Chart at #75 last week, and then dropped to #198 this week.   Unless his musical appearance on the big Bold and the Beautiful Boldface Challenge has some effect on sales this week.   So far, he’s sold 12,973 units so far.
  • Daughtry’s new single “Over You” debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 last week at #94.   It moves up to #75 this week, and is #39 on the Pop 100 and #25 on the Pop 100 Airplay.
  • This  week, Kimberley Locke debuts a new song on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart.   “Band of Gold” enters the chart at #22.
  • Taylor Hicks’ “Heaven Knows” reaches its highest chart position on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart this week at #19.
  • Fantasia has a new single, “Only One U” and it debuted on the Hot Adult R&B Tracks and Airplay chat last week at #76 and #75 respectively.   It debuted on the Hot Adult R&B Airplay at #35.   This week it  moves up the charts at  #58, #58 and #30.
  • Carrie Underwood’s new single “So Small” from her upcoming album debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 this week at #98.   She moves from #17 to #15 on the Hot Country Songs chart.   She also debuts this week on the Canadian Hot 100 at #14.
  • “Forever Cool” the latest CD  in the  celebrity-duets-with-a-dead-guy genre–that would be Dean Martin–debuts at #39 on the Billboard 200 this week.   Paris Bennett “duets” with Dean on one cut, “Baby-O” and you can listen to it here.   She sounds fantastic, but I can’t get passed the whole singing-with-a-dead-guy thing…

I spent today updating my Idol Appearances page.   If you know of an Idol appearance and would like to add it, email me at mjsbigblog@gmail.com. Thanks.

    I cannot get over how much I like this. But then again, I love old tunes like this. Wow Paris – you go girl.

  • sammy

    Paris sounds really good. Don’t know if a song like this would get much radio play. Is there a market for this?

  • Lu

    Well I doubt you’d ever hear it on top 40 but I just went and ordered the cd for my parents. Then I’m going to borrow it and put it on my ipod.

    Paris really needs to do a jazz album. I don’t buy her doing Beyonce-esque stuff, but I really dig her doing standards. If she could get someone to write her some great jazz songs, I think there would be a market for it.

    Kim Locke seems to be touring as much as Elliott :)

    Kim Locke seems to be touring as much as Elliott :)

    Hell to the no. You must have missed the link to Elliott’s fall tour dates at the bottom of the page. Yes, he is making other appearances that MJ noted upthread.

    MJ, Ace is appearing on the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon over Labor Day.

    Exactly – Elliott has a pretty intense tour schedule starting Oct5th in PJ’s neck of the woods.

    Cool about Ace being on the telethon. Is he gonna be singin a new song PJ? (hope, hope, hope)

    I LOVE K Lo’s Band of Gold.

    Update – Constantine’s appearance on TBATB had no positive impact on his record sales, as a matter of fact I think he sold a negative amount of cd’s last week.

    Elliott on the hand increased his sales by 14% after that performance. What the heck is the deal with Constantine.
