'Idol' Hot 100: "My Life Would Suck Without You" #9 (3/21/09)

A tiny decrease in sales and a huge increase in airplay combined to keep Kelly Clarksons' "My Life Would Suck Without You" in the Top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of March 21.

The song, which rose one spot to #9, will most likely see an even larger jump next week thanks to her album's release and a healthy plateful of promotional appearances this week.

Also advancing this week was Carrie Underwood's latest single "I Told You So," which rose #68-62. Expect one more week of modest gains until it skyrockets two weeks from now thanks to a performance on Idol and the release of the single as a duet with Randy Travis, slated for this coming Tuesday.

The last Idol-related chart entry to be revealed this week was Jennifer Hudson's "If This Isn't Love," which rose seven spots to #85.
