'Idol' Hot 100: "No Boundaries" #11 (6/6/09)

As expected, the Billboard Hot 100 chart was flooded with entries by Idol alums for the chart week of June 6. In all, 23 tracks from the franchise charted on the Hot 100 and the Bubbling Under charts for the week.

Kris Allen led the pack with "No Boundaries," which debuted at #11. In addition, Kris had four other Idol studio version recordings appear on the main chart and two others debuted on the Bubbling Under chart.

The second alum to see his or her single debut near the top of the chart was Adam Lambert, as his recording of "Mad World" finished in the Top 20 portion of the chart at #19, and was the first of four tracks by the eighth season's runner-up to make their marks on the main chart in addition to four tracks placing on the Bubbling Under chart.

Next up was David Cook, as his album track "Permanent" experienced a hotshot debut at #24 thanks to his performance of the song on last week's Idol finale, while his current single "Come Back to Me" re-entered the Hot 100 at #84. Another winner, Kelly Clarkson, saw her charting songs take backward steps in the face of the new competition, as "My Life Would Suck Without You" slipped #22-30 and "I Do Not Hook Up" fell nine spots to #32.

Next up was Daughtry and its latest single "No Surprise," which surprisingly tumbled 28 spots to #59. Jordin Sparks out-fell Daughtry, though, as her "Battlefield" took a severe blow with a 45-spot plunge to #77 after spending just two weeks on the chart. Just two spots behind was Carrie Underwood and her cover song "Home Sweet Home," which made its re-emergence on the chart at #79.

The only other Idol alums to have songs debut on the chart were Allison Iraheta and Danny Gokey, as the former's duet of "Slow Ride" with Adam debuted on the Bubbling Under at #5, while the latter's "You Are So Beautiful" just barely entered the same chart at #25.
