We have milestones from four Idols, one each from X-Factor and the Voice. Carrie’s “Blown Away” continues to top the Country chart for a second week.

Our most recent winner, Phil Phillip hit top 50 on Alternative Rock radio with his coronation song “Home”. The song is charting in 5 different formats. Jason Castro, from Season 7, reaches top 20 on CAC with “Only a Mountain” while Canadian Idol Carly Rae Jepsen achieves the same milestone on AC with her “Good Time” Owl City collaboration. “Good Time” also returns to the top 50 on Rhythmic.

Representing X-Factor this week is Cher Lloyd. Her second US single “Oath” featuring Becky G went top 40 on Pop. Chris Mann continues to keep the Voice relevant on radio by reaching his second milestone in as many weeks. His “Roads” went top 40 on AC.

    “He could be one of those who are sitting at home with no label and no prospects of getting signed to another one.”
     
    Adam’s sales for album #2 are on par with Cook and his second album. I’m not saying  Adam and Cook are on the same path (there are many differences in their situation) but just saying it’s not out of the question.

  • springboard2

    As a South African resident, I can vouch for this. 

    Do you know what kind of chart run Trespassing (the album) or any single had in the country?

  • standtotheright

    Florence and the Machine is not a “mainstream” rock act. It’s a band with one huge crossover single and a bunch of middling ones, but largely supported by a core audience at AAA, just on a much larger scale than most of the bands that fit that description.

    And also, Florence kicks ass. Full stop.

  • irockhard

    Yeah they’re not exactly mainstream but they’re one of the better known indie rock bands, which is why I used them as an example. Anyway the point is mainstream rock is moving into a direction that resembles their sound as opposed to Daughtry’s sound.

  • girlygirltoo

    It’s not like indie rock or folk rock is dominating the charts. There are a handful of bands in those genres that have managed to cross over to CHR and/or HAC, but most of the artists who would be considered indie rock or folk rock/Americana do not.

    As for Daughtry, in my opinion he should be able to find a way to update the band’s sound without really changing who he is as an artist. However, even if he is able to do this, there’s no guarantee radio will embrace him again or his sales will rebound. The reality is, most artists have a short shelf life — at least in terms of selling tons of albums and/or getting a lot of radio play. That doesn’t mean Daughtry can’t have some sort of career for the next 10, 15 or even 20 years — just that his days of selling a lot and getting heard on the radio on a consistent basis may be over.

  • irockhard

    No sorry. I don’t really keep track of sales, with the exception of my special snowflake, or listen to the radio. It’s a little harder to track sales in SA cause our local iTunes store doesn’t sell music (the outrage!). I can give you a list of the major radio stations so you can find out more, off the top of my head:

    Highveld Stereo
    5FM (the national pop station)
    East Coast Radio
    Radio Algoa
    YFM
    Metro FM (but you probably won’t find Adam there as they only really play “black music”, hip hip, R&B, Kwaito)

  • standtotheright

    Well, I think “mainstream rock” as a format is still chockablock with the Seethers and Shinedowns and Papa Roaches, all of which have a huge debt to post-grunge. It’s just that mainstream rock as a format leader has pretty much collapsed; mainstream/active combined gets peak audience impressions of about 8 million and alternative/AAA (even though the latter is tiny) combined gets peak audience impressions of 13 million (plus the boosts for AAA acts on public radio, which is considered news/talk), and generally has an easier path to HAC.

    I think the biggest problem is that RCA didn’t even try to maintain a presence on mainstream rock for LTT, when the band had actually had some hits there with DATA. They put everything in the HAC basket, and most acts only have so long a run on any format, as girlygirltoo pointed out.

    Four albums, one massively multiplatinum and two more solid (if that’s what ends up happening) is not a bad record to have.

  • springboard2

     Thank you. I’ll have look at these stations. :)

    I would not be too concerned with Adam and his sales of TSP, he brings in loads of dollars in his performances…it is not all about radio and itunes, concerts are great revenue generators..

  • irockhard

    Concerts are great revenue generators for the artist, not the label, unless the artist is on a 360 deal, doubt that’s the case with Adam.

  • elliegrll

    As far as my records go, IIHY made it to top 15, although it missed out on the official update

    Going by your records,  the word barely can be used, but where it matters, which is the official chart, the song didn’t peak at #15.  As I said, peaks don’t mean much.  Gaining a following and being seen as a legitimate artist requires having songs that have a long shelf life.  Nobody cares what peaks the songs from Daughtry reached, but what does matter is that for years the group had multiple songs on the radio at the same time.  That’s what made them stars, and helped “No Surprise” make it into the top ten.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/PVEFG2TOUIXSROKUSO2O2DOWWE Taylor

    These are generic venues used by all international acts, they very, very rarely actually sell out.

    No one said they were going to. They are concerts that are sponsored by radio stations, that was what was in question.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/PVEFG2TOUIXSROKUSO2O2DOWWE Taylor

    …and then top 15. (or close)

    The OP stated that IIHY either made it to #15 or #16. I was going on that. T
    IIHY was not as popular as WWFM, but it was a song that stayed on the charts for months and it did peak in the Top 20. It may have not been another WWFM, but radio listeners did hear it and did purchase the single. It was a Top 20 CHR hit.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/PVEFG2TOUIXSROKUSO2O2DOWWE Taylor

    I’ll add that Osaka holds 1,500 and one of the two venues that hold around 1,000 seats are being sold as standing room only. So, four out of five venues will hold around 1,500 to 2,000 fans who are paying between $75-$100 for tickets. I usually think of small gigs as ones where people shell out $20 at Bill’s pub or at places that hold around 300-500, but maybe you consider venues that hold 1,500+ at $75+ to be small gigs.

  • Nadine_Bitch

    Eh, 1000 seat or less, who cares? I bet many Idols want to have that ”Small gigs” Adam has been doing internationally.

    Did I just hear on GMA that Taylor Swift sold 4 million albums in one day! That can’t be right.

    I think she sold 4 million singles from the album.  But, still, the album is projected to move 1 million copies this week. She is a beast.

  • MargieIdol

    I’m not a Daughtry expert but isn’t this the 3rd or 4th single from this latest era? As we’ve seen with the Adam discussion, 3rd singles typically don’t do as well as the first couple. Even Kelly’s Dark Side didn’t do as well as her first two.  Iirc, the first couple of Daughtry singles did quite well on the charts even if they weren’t #1.

    I think I heard that this era has sold 300,000+ albums (?) so in this day and age plus with his international touring and sales, I’m not sure he’s in trouble yet. He might even be one of RCA’s best sellers this year.  Again, I don’t follow the numbers like some others do but it seems early to be writing him off.

  • girlygirltoo

    It’s his 3rd single off this album, I believe. His problem is that neither of the first 2 singles off this current cd did as well as most of the singles off his previous albums and his album sales have tumbled — from 6 million for his debut album to around 400K for this current one. 

    I don’t think he’s in any real danger of getting dropped by RCA anytime soon, though, as his sales are probably better than most of the rock acts on the label.

  • irockhard

    No RCA won’t drop Daughtry, but I’m not sure they’ll get more radio hits out of him. His fanbase is carrying him this era but it has dwindled and will probably continue to dwindle because his music is no longer connecting with the general public. That said if his contract with RCA has run its course and is up for renewal I’d rather he leave RCA and sign with a rock label that will concentrate on rock radio, I think it will be better for him.

  • elliegrll

    The song peaked at #16 on Billboard’s pop chart, so I would guess that the same is true for Mediabase, since that has always been the number that has been posted here.  Either way, that’s really not the point.  The peak position doesn’t tell the full story about whether or not the song made an impact, and connected with the public.  If we are to believe it did, and Adam had two hit songs, as well as a lot of mainstream promo, then that really does beg the question of why didn’t that translate into more people buying Trespassing, and an easier launch for the first single.

    Not the same number for the CHR charts::

    As far as my records go, IIHY made it to top 15, although it missed out on the official update

    IIHY peaked at #15 on the CHR charts at some point. That number was the peak. Adam had two songs that were Top 20 CHR hits from FYE.
