Kelly Clarkson continues to top the AC chart, Carly Rae is making moves and yet another UK XF contestant lands on the US charts.
Original Idol Kelly Clarkson has milestones with two songs. “Stronger”, her second single from her current album of the same name, continues to rule the AC charts. Meanwhile, her third single, “Dark Side” went top 30 on Pop. The songs is currently charting on 3 formats.
Carrie Underwood is also having success with her second single and title track. “Blown Away” has quickly raced up the Country charts and is in the top 40 in that format. Carrie rarely fails to reach the top of the Country chart and with a song that currently has the highest bullet on Country radio (by 166 spins), I can see this song going very far indeed.
Michael Lynche rounds out the list of American Idols achieving milestones this week. His “Who’s Gonna Love You” gives this Season 9 fourth place finisher his first top 30 hit on UAC.
The third place Canadian Idols rack up 4 milestones this week. Carly Rae Jepsen reaches top 20 on Rhythmic with her break-through song, “Call Me Maybe”. Her follow-up song with Owl City, “Good Time” is not wasting time either. The song has gone top 20 on Pop and top 40 on HAC this week. Hedley, a band created by CI’s Jacob Hoggard, charts in the top 50 on HAC with “Kiss You Inside and Out”.
The UK XFactorers continue to have much more luck on the charts than their American cousins. This week, it is Olly Murs achieving a milestone. This behatted runner-up from Season 6 has had a lot of success in the UK, so he’s trying his luck with “Heart Skips a Beat” in the US. The song achieved top 50 on Pop this week.
