There are two Idol milestones on the radio charts this week. One is from a milestone champ and the other is from a milestone newbie.
First up is Carrie Underwood. Her duet with Brad Paisley has battled through the competitive world of Country top 10 to make it to top 5 on Country. This song looks like it is headed to an eventual top 1.
The other Idol is featured rather than dueting. Chris Richardson from Season 6 gets his first top 15 while singing the hook for Tyga’s “Far Away” on Rhythmic.
