'Idol' Hot 100: "Battlefield" #10 (8/8/09)

A few small movements were overshadowed by one big jump in terms of Idol-related singles on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of Aug. 8.

Leading the charge was Jordin Sparks' "Battlefield," which entered the Top 10 for the first time in its existence thanks to a sales boost from the release of her sophomore album by the same name. The song was up 15 spots to #10, marking the song's peak to date. Jordin makes Idol history by becoming the first alum to have their first five singles (including the coronation single) chart in the Top 20 portion of the Hot 100 (previous peaks include "This Is My Now" #15, "Tattoo" #8, "No Air" #3 and "One Step At a Time" #17). Jordin also saw her album track "Walking On Snow" just miss the Hot 100, instead landing at #2 on the Bubbling Under chart.

Aside from Jordin, the rest of the Idol-related activity on the chart was boring. Daughtry's "No Surprise" fell one spot to #28, despite continued strong sales of the band's sophomore album Leave This Town. Kellie Pickler's best-selling single "Best Days of Your Life" continued to show its muscle, rebounding #52-50.

And David Cook's "Come Back to Me" was in familiar territory, as it hung out on the lower rungs of the chart once again, slipping one spot to #79.
