Idol Billboard Update for Issue 10/11/08

This week’s Idol Billboard Update is right HERE.

A few Highlights:

  • David Cook’s “Time of My Life” climbs back into the #1 position on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart.   He and Leona Lewis (“Bleeding Love”) have been swapping spots the past few weeks.   The Magic Rainbow hangs in there! Stay tuned–next week, Cook’s new single “Light On” will debut on the Billboard charts.
  • Congrats to Jennifer Hudson who has earned her first Billboard #1.   Her single “Spotlight” climbs from #3 to the #1 spot on the Hot Adult R&B Airplay chart.   Methinks this is the first of many for Jennifer, whose star continues to rise…   Fred Bronson notes her achievement in this week’s Chart Beat column.   He’s also got a handy list of all the Idols–twenty-four in all–who have charted at #1.
  • Bucky Covington’s “I’ll Walk” appears to be on the verge of landing on the Billboard Hot 100.   It sits at #1 this week on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.
