'Idol' Hot 100: "Already Gone" #18 (1/2/10)

There were ups and downs all around for singles by Idol alums on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of Jan. 2, the first chart week of the new decade.

This time around, Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" suffered a bigger decline than it has in the recent past, falling three spots to #18. It still will hold the title of "first highest-charting Idol single of the decade," though, so that's not a bad deal. Kris Allen saw positive movement with his "Live Like We're Dying," which was up three spots to #33 on a combination of increased sales and airplay.

Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova," on the other hand, was down a good nine spots to #39, which suggests its headed down for good. Daughtry also saw positive movement with its latest single "Life After You," climbing #64-58. And Adam Lambert's single "Whataya Want From Me" finally made its debut on the Hot 100 at #72 after three weeks on the Bubbling Under chart.
