'Idol' Hot 100: Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" #20 (3/20/10)

There were more backward movements than there were forward movements when it came to tracks by Idol alums on the most recent edition of the Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of March 20.

Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" kicked things off having slid two spots to #20. Kris also saw his charity single of his live performance of "Let It Be" pull back seven spots to #70 in its second week.

Adam Lambert more or less followed suit with his single "Whataya Want From Me," which declined #24-25, while Daughtry's "Life After You" was up another two spots to #39.

Another positive advancement was had in "Temporary Home" by Carrie Underwood, which was up #52-48 thanks to increases in airplay. The Idol-related track that had the biggest tumble was Artists for Haiti's "We Are the World" charity single featuring Jordin Sparks, Jennifer Hudson and Katharine McPhee among others. The single continued its crumble towards the edge of the chart with a 30-spot drop to #66.

And Danny Gokey's "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me" finally emerged onto the Hot 100 with a #82 bow off the heels of his debut album release and performance on Idol's results show last Thursday.
