This week, we have milestones on Pop, HAC and UAC representing two franchises of Idol (American and Canadian) and two franchises of X-Factor (UK and US).

First, let’s discuss Pop. Phil Phillips !single has grown wings on that format and has the second highest bullet. That was enough to move “Home” into the top 20 on Pop. Doesn’t look like his coronation song is going anywhere soon and it will be interesting to see what strategy the label takes for performances going into the album release period. This song shows no signs of stopping. “Home” will be topping the AAA chart within days (I never thought I would say that about a coronation song) and the top of HAC also seems reachable. The Christmas freeze is coming, so there probably isn’t time to launch a new single after this song peaks. Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. But, it’s nice to have this kind of situtation to make decisions about.

Also on Pop are Carly Rae Jepsen and Kelly Clarkson reaching the top 40 in that format. “This Kiss” is the second solo song from Carly Rae to reach top 40 in this format although her collaboration with Owl City was her second song to be a hit on Pop. “Catch My Breath” Kelly’s single anchoring her greatest hits album and it’s looking like it belongs on just such an album. Radio is really embracing this song.

Over on HAC, we have two milestones. Again, Kelly’s “Catch My Breath” continues to race to the milestones and is top 20 now. Daughtry’s “Start of Something Good” backs into top 30 in a week it loses its bullet.

Representing the X-Factor, we have One Direction and Melanie Amaro. Melanie is X-Factor US’s first season winner and her “Love Me Now” has gone top 30 on UAC. “Live Like We’re Young”, One Direction’s lead-off single from their second album, went top 50 on AC. The song is charting on three formats.

Finally, we have to mention the curious case of “Come Along”. This song is from season 1 voice contestant Vicci Martinez and features her coach Cee Lo Green. The song first charted with us back in July for a few weeks on HAC and then faded. It returns to the top 50 this week and I’m not exactly sure what caused this to happen months later. Anybody? Bueller? Phil also returns to the top 50 on Alternative Rock after an abscene of a week.

    hey …i have a question that has probably been discussed at some time or another in the last 6 years on mjs….but, I’m puttin it out here anyway.  How does this whole “ship” thing work now with the magical download?  is there an estimate as to how many years it will be till the whole shipped thing isn’t a factor?  the extinction of cds?  

  • jpfan2

    Where does the Drake story  come from?

    I think it was more because Scotty sold the song really, really well.

  • elliegrll

    UK mix used to post the Billboard chart that just dealt with physical cds.  You can probably still find the one from three weeks ago on that board.  Based on those figures, and the current percentage split between physical and digital albums, I don’t think that physical cds are going to go extinct anytime soon.

  • elliegrll

    This isn’t idol related, but we talk about age discrimination at radio all of the time, so I thought it was interesting to note that the same thing is happening in the UK.  Digital Spy reported that Radio One won’t play Robbie Williams new song, because they think that he is too old for their audience.  One of the djs even admitted that it’s because he is no longer relevant to a younger audience.  Not even Take That’s amazing success last year, or Williams having the best selling single in the country is going to get them to change their minds.

    I think Home may have the legs to become the top selling Idol single.

    I think Home may have the legs to become the top selling Idol single.

    It could, but it has a long way to go.

    “Call Me Maybe” currently holds the record at over 6M sold. It is only the second song in digital history to sell that many (Goyte’s “Somebody I Used to Know” is the other). Doubling the difficulty, it was a co-write by Carly Rae Jepsen.

    Next up (and if you don’t count Canadian Idols), is Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” coming up on 4M sold followed by Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” at over 3.5M. Jordin Sparks’s “No Air” is almost at 3.5M sold.

    “Home” is the best selling coronation single.

    Good day of adds for Lauren. 18 inches  hung tough without adds for 5 weeks and no video. These are 5 big stations that she got today Seattle,Boston,Nashville, Columbus and Cleveland potential for big AI’s from this group. Mercury also had a full page aircheck add last week also so it appears they are again interested in pushing this song.

  • sdmama

    How can you “ship” a digital song without “selling” it? It is not like you can stock them in virtual store.
    Was there a physical single that somebody can buy from a store?  I am baffled by this.

  • OffLeash

    HDD’s predictions are for albums. Unless Taylor’s album is only available digitally, which would be news to me, people can buy the physical album.

  • maymay

    Where We Came From is available on iTunes. And you can preorder PP`s album.

  • dd999

    Everyone has taste in music, gotta say I loved Scotty’s song ‘I Love You This Big’ from the first time he sang it. Nearly 10M views on u-tube, from those who can relate to this song…. its been sung at many a wedding, girlfriend-boyfriend claim it as there song, Mother, grandmother love to play it to their kids. its even been sent from a soldier who sang and recorded it himself to his loved one.

    Now that people can pre order Phillip’s album on iTunes, its charting will give a better perspective on how well he will debut. Hopefully the pre order gets a banner on iTunes so it can fuel more interest.

  • girlygirltoo

    That’s so stupid — he’s freaking 38 years old, not 100. He’s all of one year older than Enrique Iglesias and 3 years older than Chris Martin and he’s younger than Eminem or Jay-Z or anyone in Radiohead or U2 (to name just a few examples). Does Radio One not play those artists either?

    But since Robbie’s single has hit #1, I guess it hasn’t mattered that Radio One won’t play him.

  • elliegrll

    Robbie isn’t upset about it.  http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a435992/robbie-williams-reacts-to-nick-grimshaw-radio-1-better-not-play-madonna.html

    As Robbie said, Radio One is trying to appeal to 17-24 year olds, and that’s not a group that is going to support his music.  It’s the same here.  There are some idol alums who have been compared to Robbie, but who are a few years younger, and they are facing the same situation with US radio, the image and age are just two things that aren’t going to appeal to younger listeners.

  • LongKissGoodnight

    And I am very happy to report that Phillip just toped the on AAA chart. Definitely first and  possibly the only AI contestant to do so in all of decade long history of the show.
    It will be official by Sunday, but there is not anyone in sight who can dethrone him, so we might as well start celebrating.
    Go Phillip!
    Next stop is HAC #1!

    Kris wasn’t with RCA when LLWD became a hit. He was with Jive who did not promote.

  • elliegrll

    Jive promoted LLWD.  Z100 picking the song up at the beginning, and then playing it like every two hours during the first five days or so didn’t happen for free.  Kris was also doing a boatload of radio visits at that time, and showcases in LA.  Those weren’t cheap either.   Jives job was to promote the song to radio, which they did.  It was 19, and to some extent Kris’, job to promote Kris, and to use the song to bring more attention to him.
