A debut single from a Season 7 finalist spiced up the Idol representation on the most recent edition of Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart.
Jordin Sparks' "Battlefield" continued to inch ever closer to the platinum threshold, adding 43.5k downloads to its total for a cumulative 893.5k singles sold. The single was down 9% in sales and slipped two spots to #23.
Up next was Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone," which was up another 11% to 37.8k downloads, resulting in a current total of 255.2k. The single finally entered the Top 30, advancing #36-30. Daughtry's "No Surprise" once again fell a few spots, this week down two to #40, thanks to a 7% sales decline to 31.1k. Its total now sits at 745k.
New to this edition of the chart was Jason Castro's "Let's Just Fall In Love Again," which debuted at #59 with 22.8k downloads. These numbers are a good sign for Jason but they are not as strong as Brooke White's debut with "Hold Up My Heart," which opened to 51.2k tracks sold at #27 back in February.

Brooke was also able to preview her single in front of millions on American Idol the day it went on sale. Jason's sales are based solely on word of mouth and a few radio plays in handful of cities.
Apples to oranges in my opinion.
Melinda, that's a good point. Thanks for reminding me about Brooke's AI performance.
