'Idol' Hot 100: "My Life Would Suck Without You" #6 (4/4/09)

Despite facing her toughest competition in a long time, Kelly Clarkson was able to hold onto her billing as top Idol alum with representation on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of April 4.

Kelly's "My Life Would Suck Without You" slipped just one spot to #6, showing that it has longevity more than instant success. Just behind Kelly was another winner, Carrie Underwood, as her latest single "I Told You So" marched up the chart #57-9 thanks to the release of the song as a duet with original artist Randy Travis (not to mention a performance of the song on last week's results show.

And then there was Jennifer Hudson's "If This Isn't Love," which fell four spots to #88 despite retaining its bullet. Look for the single to progress back up the chart next week thanks to gains in airplay and a performance on Ellen that will air today.
