It began with Kris Allen's near-Top 20 hit "Live Like We're Dying," which finished up three spots at #21. Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" went ahead by a margin of one more than the former track, as it increased #35-31 for the week.

Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" held onto a stop in the Top 40 for one more week, as it was down six spots from #34 the previous week. But Daughtry's "Life After You" broke into the Top 50finally thanks to a four-spot increase to #48.

Two tracks by country artists rounded out Idol representation on the Hot 100, as Carrie Underwood's "Temporary Home" advanced #61-54, while Kellie Pickler's "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You" finally, finally made it onto the main chart with a #99 debut after languishing on the Bubbling Under chart for weeks.
