The post-Christmas blues started to set in for Idol alums as evidenced by the most recent edition of Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart. Still, there were much healthier numbers to go around than usual thanks to continued gift card redemption.

Next up was Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova," which slid #25-32 thanks to a 34% sales decline. Its weekly take was 82.4k and it has not sold 915.2k in all.

Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" took an expected hit, as it was off 28%, but still managed to pull in 62.9k downloads resulting in a 1.068 million sum. It slipped two spots to #43. Daughtry's latest single "Life After You" suffered the smallest drop sales-wise, as it was down 13% to 44.5k for a total of 200.9k, and was actually up 10 spots to #68.
