'Idol' Hot 100: Lee DeWyze's "Beautiful Day" #24 (6/12/10)

After taking a week off from posting about how tracks by Idol alums are faring on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, we're back in business for the chart week of June 12, which is complete with the latest data on new entries from Season 9 finalists.

Beautiful DayLeading the way was Lee DeWyze's coronation cover of "Beautiful Day," which debuted at #24. This is by far the worst debut from a winner's initial post-Idol single, coming in a whole nine spots lower than Jordin Sparks's "This Is My Now," which debuted at #15 back in 2007. Lee also saw three other tracks debut on the Hot 100, as "Hallelujah" came in at #44, "The Boxer landed at #88 and his duet on "Falling Slowly" entered at #66.

Finishing just one spot behind "Beautiful Day" was Carrie Underwood's "Undo It," which improved 34 spots to #25 after jumping 14 spots from #73 on the previous chart. Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" continued to decline, as it was off six spots to #35 after falling only one spot on the previous chart.

And Crystal Bowersox had just two songs make it into the Hot 100 (including "Falling Slowly"), as her lead single "Up to the Mountain debuted at #57.
