Monday Morning Mediabase Update: Aug 11-17

Three milestones this Monday Morning – all from Idols.

First up is Carrie Underwood dueting with Miranda Lambert (who was on Nashville Star). The Season 4 Idol winner’s duet “Something’ Bad” has gone top 15 on Country. The song is featured on Miranda’s latest album.

Over on UAC, Jennifer Hudson (who famously finished 7th during the 3rd Season of Idol which resulted in a rant from Elton John) has her “It’s Your World” entering the top 20. The song features a dude who has the ability to come back from scandals.

Finally, we have the Season 11 winner, Phillip Phillips. “Unpack Your Heart” is his second single from his second album and it has debuted on the HAC chart in the top 50.

Chart Watch: “Hope in Front of Me” from Danny Gokey seems poised to reach the top of the CAC chart. With a strong bullet and the songs in front of him falling without much of a lead, it could happen this week. Or the song could collapse. Charts can be mercurial.
