Fred Bronson compiled the Top 100 hits from Billboard’s Hot 100 for Billboard Magazine. It’s no surprise that Kelly Clarkson dominates the list. She’s got 10 songs in the Top 20 alone. Clearly, she is the biggest POP star American Idol has (or may ever) produced.
Of course, Carrie Underwood has sold a gazillion records, even outselling Kelly up to this point in the US, but her domination in in the country genre, and the Hot 100 is all about CHR.
Other Idols making an appearance on the chart include: Kris Allen, Adam Lambert, David Cook, David Archuleta, Taylor Hicks, Phillip Phillips, Elliott Yamin, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, Katharine McPhee, Fantasia, Lauren Alaina, Scotty McCreery, Jennifer Hudson, Josh Gracin, Kellie Pickler, Diana DeGarmo, Blake Lewis, Bucky Covington, Bo Bice, Kimberley Locke, Mario Vazquez,
