Four milestones this week from the Idols – season 4, season 10, season 11 and Canadian Idol representing – and one from the XF crew.
First up is Season 4 winner, Carrie Underwood. The second single and title track from “Blown Away” has moved into the top 15 on Country with a strong bullet. At this point, top 10 is a battle of attrition.
Meanwhile, season 11 winner Phil is making tracks on his native format which is traditional skeptical of Idols. His coronation single, “Home”, has vaulted into the top 30 in that format. The song is top 15 in HAC, top 30 in two formats and top 40 in 4. Maybe Jimmy does know what he is doing.
Lauren Aliana, runner-up in season 10, moved into the top 40 on Country with “Eighteen Inches”. This is her second or third single from her debut album depending on if you count the coronation single. This song was co-written by Carrie Underwood.
Canadian Idol 3rd place finisher Jacob Hoggard’s band “Hedley” has moved into the top 40 on US radio with “Kiss You Inside and Out” on HAC. Olly Murs, from X-Factor UK, has achived a top 50 in the same format with “Heart Skips a Beat”
