This week in the Monday Morning Mediabase report, there are three milestones from Idols and one from X-Factorers

Phil, the latest American Idol winner, follows up his very successful coronation single “Home” with what looks like a very successful “Gone, Gone, Gone”. “Home” continues to top the AC chart, although it has lost its bullet. The song has a 400+ spin lead on the second highest single, though. So, at the rate it’s losing spins, it will probably be there for several more weeks. Possibly more exciting is that GGG hit milestones on two formats this week. It went top 10 on AAA and top 20 on HAC. His appearance later this week on Idol could not have been more well-timed to capitalize on this and push the song to the next level.

The other Idol milestone this week is from Carly Rae Jepsen from the Canadian franchise. Her collaboration with Owl City went top 50 on CAC. Kind of surprising after all these months, but Owl City is a regular on that chart.

One Direction represents the UK X-Factor show this week. Their “Kiss You” moves into the top 50 on HAC.

In other news, the chart ninjas at Big Machine have been manipulating the top of the Country chart for weeks. With a surging Blake Shelton, this may spell the end of a long streak of number ones for Carrie Underwood. When Scott Borchetta was doing this with only Taylor Swift, it was just kind of annoying though kind of remarkable. Now that he is doing it with all sorts of artists, it’s just plain obnoxious. I wonder how he does it so consistently.

“Good Time” with Owl City: ^12 AC (12); ^49 CAC (56)

    Fantastic for Phillip and GGG. Hoe it does really well, and that they give him more singles too. I think Interscope is doing a really good job in establishing him.

    Arista has finally sent a ‘power up’ ad for “Two Black Cadillacs.” I hope it gets to sneak a number one in either Mediabase and Billboard Airplay against Blake’s song. I don’t mind Carrie’s streak being broken. All streaks have to come to an end at the some point and this will not really affect Carrie’s stature in the country format. However, I believe that “Two Black Cadillacs” is an incredible song that just deserves to go to #1. “Mama’s Song” was a sweet but underwhelming tune. The fact that it went all the way to #2 peak was actually a bit baffling for me. It just showed what kind of superstar Carrie is in country radio.

    By the way, how come there is only a 1/2 page ad for TBC ‘power up’? Brad’s SCZ push had a one page if I remember correctly. I actually wonder how come Sony Nashville in general is less savvy with sending ads in Billboard and Mediabase weekly editions, unlike let’s say Warner and of course Big Machine. Is Sony Nashville running out of advertizing funds to match the aggressive moves of Big Machine and Warner?

    From Chart Highlights (offers a sneak peek at a select group of Billboard charts every Monday):

    Adult Contemporary
    *** No. 1 (8 weeks)*** “Home” Phillip Phillips

    Rock Airplay
    Debut No. 49 “Gone, Gone, Gone” Phillip Phillips

    The reigning “American Idol” champion debuts his second single, “Gone, Gone, Gone,” at No. 49 on Rock Airplay. His debut track, “Home,” meanwhile, leads Adult Contemporary for an eighth week (see above).

    Also…
    Pop Songs
    *** No. 1 (1 week)*** “Thrift Shop” Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Featuring Wanz

    Macklemore & Ryan Lewis become just the sixth rap act (billed as a lead) to rule Pop Songs with a first entry, as “Thrift Shop,” featuring Wanz, rises 3-1.

    Very happy for this guys, their follow up smash “Can’t Hold Us” is already breathing fire and getting nice updates from radio (as it should). Hopefully after two-three smashed the radio market night just might be ready for “Same Love”. Although I am not shore, as great as the song is it’s such a hard sell for radio where un-unobjectionable is one of the major virtues.

    Adult Pop Songs
    *** No. 1 (1 week)*** “Daylight” Maroon 5

    “Daylight” is probably my least favorite Maroon 5′s single (I am a fan of this band) however it did become an airplay smash, and according to Mediabase is currently sitting at #3 overall airplay with 150K worth of AI, it is already #1 on HAC and (unless it becomes another miracle of longevity) is likely to peak #3-2 on POP.

    For a single of this magnitude it’s sales are rather soft – 1.167m as of last week. It will comfortable pass 1,5m and eventually 2m, but that’s likely will be it.
    Mellow sales wise and forgettable sonically as it was I would not call “Daylight” an underperformer, it had done a very respectable job of promoting the album that had sailed past 1 million mark without a hitch and shows no signs of dwindling momentum.

    The front runners for the spot of next single seem to be “Lucky Strike” and “Love Somebody”, both songs have strong hooks and with Maroon’s ongoing popularity should have no trouble smashing. Though few month ago there already have been reports that “Love Somebody” is next in line I still hold a little bit of hope that they will decide to switch it up tempo-wise and go with my personal favorite – “Lucky Strike”.

    BTW “Payphone” had toped the 5 million mark in digital sales last week.
    “Moves Like Jagger” is up to 5,975,000, and “One More Night” will be 4x Platinum in 2 weeks.
