Here is this week’s Idol Billboard Chart
Highlights:
- Kimberley Lock’s Christmas tune, “Frosty the Snowman”, shoots up to the #1 position on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart this week. This is the third year in a row Kim has had a seasonal hit on the adult contemporary chart. The dance club mix of “Band of Gold” is #5 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.
- Jordin Sparks drops down the Billboard 200–from 10-18. She sold 51, 084 albums this week for a total of 170, 336. Her single “Tattoo” is still inching it’s way up the charts. It’s on the verge of entering the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10, at #11 this week. What will probably be her next single, “No Air” with Chris Brown, has entered the Pop 100 at #97. If her singles continue to do well, the album could continue to sell at a steady pace.

- Kellie Pickler’s “Small Town Girl” re-enters the Billboard 200 at #186. She sold 5, 035 albums this week for a total of 664, 633.
