Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" was off four spots to #28, marking a slow but sure decline. Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" retained its position in the Top 50, as it decreased #48-50.
Carrie Underwood was the sole alum who saw her single made headway on the chart, as "Undo It" propelled 22 spots ahead to #73, emblematic of what should hopefully be a prosperous chart life for what could be a summer crossover hit. And Kelly Clarkson's "All I Ever Wanted" looks to end its brief run on the Hot 100 thanks to another two-spot drop to #100 this week.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" #24 (5/22/10)
Adam Lambert kicked things off with "Whataya Want From Me," as it was off six spots to #24. Kris Allen outdid him, however, as his own "Live Like We're Dying" fell #41-48.
Carrie Underwood was up next with a pair of her singles, as the fading "Temporary Home" held on for one more week with a #84-93 decline, while she followed with her up and coming single "Undo It" burst onto the chart at #95.
And Kelly Clarkson finished things off with "All I Ever Wanted," which was down another spot to #98. Look for a quick exit in a week or two.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me #18 (5/15/10)
Adam Lambert once again held on to the top spot among Idol alums, as his single "Whataya Want From Me" was off five spots to #15. Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" fell out of the top 40, as it was off eight spots to #41.
Next up was Carrie Underwood, whose "Temporary Home" continued its downward slide with a #61-84 drop. And Kelly Clarkson's "All I Ever Wanted" was actually down one spot to #97 after holding steady at #96 for two weeks. If this pattern continues, this will be one of Kelly's weakest performing singles to date.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" #13 (5/8/10)
Adam Lambert's newly platinum "Whataya Want From Me" remained in the top spot among Idol alums, although it slipped three spots to #13. Kris Allen actually followed the trend set by Adam, as his single "Live Like We're Dying" continued its leggy run but was also down three spots to #33.
The one highlight of the chart came along with Carrie Underwood's "Temporary Home," which got a post-ACM Awards boost and was actually up #73-61. Fellow winner Kelly Clarkson didn't have much luck with her latest release "All I Ever Wanted," as it held steady at #96. Not a good sign to be stalling so early in its run.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" #10 (5/1/10)
The single rocketed #23-10 on the chart on the heels of a big Idol week, where Adam served as mentor and musical performer. This is, of course, Adam's first Top 10 hit in addition to being the first Top 10 single by a Season 8 alum.
Up next was Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying," which held steady at #30 for the second straight week. Daughtry saw its current release "Life After You" drop 10 spots to #61, which suggest it might depart the chart entirely sooner than later.
It was Carrie Underwood, however, who saw her single suffer the largest drop, as "Temporary Home" was off 18 spots to #73. And then there was Kelly Clarkson, whose "All I Ever Wanted" inched ahead three spots to #96, which could either be the beginning of a lengthy run or a brief appearance.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" #23 (4/24/10)
Holding at #23 for the second straight week was Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From." The single will likely see a new peak by this time next week thanks to a big performance on last night's Idol results show.
Falling four spots on the latest chart was Kris Allen's "Live Like We Were Dying," was it landed at #30 on the dot in this go 'round. Also down this week was Daughtry's "Life After You," although it was off a heftier five spots to #51.
Although Carrie Underwood's single "Temporary Home" didn't suffer as steep of a decline this week as it did the previous week, it was still down #52-55. But Kelly Clarkson made things a little bit more exciting, as her latest release "All I Ever Wanted" debuted at #99.

'Idol' BB 200: 'Play On' #23 (2/27/10)
With basically no access to exact sales figures for Idol-related albums this week, the Billboard Top 200 album sales chart seemed pretty uninteresting considering only the chart movements were readily available.
Even though it dropped five spots to #23, Carrie Underwood's Play On retained its spot as leader of the pack among franchise entries. Surprisingly, her debut album Some Hearts increased #144-142 for the week.
Daughtry also was once again represented by two albums on the chart, with Leave This Town dropping one spot to #54 and Daughtry sliding by five to #162.
Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment was down #49-58, while Kris Allen's self-titled debut was off 11 spots to #127.
Meanwhile, Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted was once again off the chart, although it did place at #189 on the current albums chart with 3.3k copies for a current total of 835k.

'Idol' BB 200: 'Play On' #29 (2/13/10)
For the chart week of Feb. 13, it was an unexciting time for albums by Idol alums on the Billboard Top 200 album sales chart thanks to minuscule changes in both directions ahead of the many sales bumps that are expected on next week's chart from the Grammy Awards impact.
Carrie Underwood's Play On epitomized the boredom of the sales data, as it was up just 2% to 18.1k and down #24-29 on the chart side. The album has now sold exactly one copy over 1.263 million to date. Carrie's Some Hearts also hung onto a spot on the latter portion of the chart, with Some Hearts rising #198-177 (no sales data available).
Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment was up next although it was down for the week, sliding 15 spots to #36 and off 22% sales-wise. It sold 15.3k and is now just under 8k away from hitting the halfway to platinum mark. Daughtry's Leave This Town also fell, albeit just two spots, to #66 despite a 7% incline to 9.2k copies for a total of 916.4k. The band's debut followed in Carrie's debut's footsteps as it wallowed in the lower rungs of the chart down six spots to #181 (no sales data available).
Kris Allen saw his debut LP hit the 250k mark after it added 4.9k this past week. It still fell 21 spots to #122 thanks to a 7% sales decrease. And Kelly Clarkson saw her Grammy-nominated All I Ever Wanted drop off the chart with 2.9k copies.

Poll of the week: Carrie Underwood favored for Grammys
In IDOL LIVE's special Grammy Award edition of the poll of the week, the majority of readers correctly predicted Carrie Underwood would have the best chance at taking home an award.
Carrie was the only Idol alum to take home a golden gramophone at last night's 52nd annual awards ceremony, although she arguably had the least competition to contend with in the "Best Country Collaboration With Vocals" category. 58% of those polled went with Carrie, while 41% sided with Kelly Clarkson, whose fourth album All I Ever Wanted lost out to The Black Eyed Peas' latest release in the "Best Pop Vocal Album."
In the next edition of the poll of the week, readers as asked who they think should replace Simon Cowell as the fourth judge on Idol following his departure at the end of the current season. Voting will be open until next Wednesday (Feb. 10).
Carrie Underwood 14 (58%)
Kelly Clarkson 10 (41%)
Mandisa 0 (0%)
Total votes: 24
'Idol' BB 200: 'For Your Entertainment' #21 (2/6/10)
This means Carrie Underwood's Play On fell back a few spots (eight to be exact) to #24 after sliding 18% in sales to 17.7k copies for a 1.245 million total. Carrie's first album is still hanging on the lower part of the chart, as Some Hearts was down 7% to 2.9k copies, off #186-198, for a total of 6.925 million.
Up next was Daughtry's sophomore effort, Leave This Town, was down one spot to #54 after selling 8.6k copies. It was actually up 1% and boasts a 907.2k cume. The band's previous release was also up in both sales (6%) and chart rank (#184-175), posting a 3.2k copies for a 4.623 million total.
Kris Allen's Kris Allen took a 14% tumble to 5.3k copies for a 244.8k total. On the chart side it was off 17 spots to #101. And Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted declined 6% sales-wise to 3.2k copies for a 825.5k total. It was down 10 spots to #179.

IDOL LIVE predix: Alums at the Grammys
It's that time of year once again when the music industry does its best to highlight the brightest spots of the previous year in music. Although the Grammys are notorious for offering up a few surprises, especially in the big" categories," it's a good bet this time around will be pretty straight forward.
The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards will be about one young artist - Taylor Swift. Expect her to sweep in the coveted Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year categories in addition to some country and a few pop categories.
Just like last year, I'm taking a stab at how Idol alums will fare tonight. My predictions are below:
Best Pop Vocal Album: The Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies)
Kelly Clarkson definitely deserves the nomination for her fourth album All I Ever Wanted, and many will argue the album deserves the win. But this category will be reserved as a place to make up for The Black Eyed Peas not taking home a statue in some of the bigger categories. Therefore, it seems likely that their multi-platinum The E.N.D. will triumph this time around. Still, many media outlets are calling this for Kelly, so there could still be some good surprises tonight.
Best Female Country Vocal Performance: Carrie Underwood, "Just A Dream"
Swift will be bringing home a whole lotta gold tonight, but the "Best Female Country Vocal Performance" category will not have her name reserved on the winner's envelope. Her "White Horse" entry was not as well-known as some of her more popular singles, and Carrie Underwood's #1 "Just a Dream" hasn't really had the chance to win her some hardware. Add to this the fact that Carrie is a perennial favorite to win at the Grammys and things look bright for her going into tonight.
Best Country Collaboration With Vocals: Brad Paisley & Keith Urban, "Start a Band"
Since Carrie should be victorious in "Female Country Vocal Performance," the fact that she and Randy Travis will lose out here shouldn't be too hard to stomach. Brad Paisley and Keith Urban won for "Start a Band" at last year's Academy of Country Music Awards, and they are good bets to repeat tonight.
Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album: Jeremy Camp, Speaking Louder Than Before
Admittedly this category is hard for me to gauge, and even though Mandisa's Freedom is a great album, it seems unlikely that she will be recognized for this LP over the more commercially successful Speaking Louder Than Before. Therefore, it appears her record at the Grammys will be extended to 0-2.
Best Musical Show Album: David Caddick & David Lai, producers (Leonard Bernstein, composer; Stephen Sondheim, lyricist) (New Broadway Cast with Matt Cavenaugh, Josefina Scaglione & Others), West Side Story
The last category isn't so much a referendum on the Idol alums attached to their respective entry (Ruben Studdard and Frenchie Davis on the 30th anniversary cast recording of Ain't Misbehavin') as it is the popularity of the shows themselves. That said, West Side Story is a classic that has always received widespread accolades, and the recent revival has been a success, so it only seems fitting it takes this category.
Even though I don't have every Idol alum nominated taking home a Grammy, I hope I'm wrong on the ones I don't have confidence in. It's always good to seem alums recognized for their work in the industry. And it'll be worth tuning in just to see Carrie and Jennifer Hudson partake in the tribute to Michael Jackson.
The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards air at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

'Idol' BB 200: 'For Your Entertainment' #3 (12/12/09)
Thanksgiving week is always a boon for the music industry, as shoppers traditionally get a jump start on their holiday gift buying. Not surprisingly, this trend was seen among albums by Idol alums according to the Billboard Top 200 album sales chart for the chart week of Dec. 12.
Entering the chart at #3 was Adam Lambert's album For Your Entertainment, which managed to sell 198.5k in its opening week. This tally was over 100k more sold than Kris Allen's debut the previous week, and despite the fact that it was less than the 210-230k originally predicted, it's a healthy number regardless.
Holding steady at #9 was Carrie Underwood's album Play On, which increased in sales by 44% to 123.9k copies. Its total now stands at 656.3k. Carrie was also represented on the chart by her debut album Some Hearts, which experienced a resurgence onto the chart at #132 at 9.8k copies thanks to a steep discount in price. It was up 160% and has sold 6.876 million copies after four years.
Sliding 24 spots to #35 was Kris's self-titled album, which moved another 32.5k copies this past week. It was the only Idol-related album to witness a decrease, though expected, as it was down 59% and is sitting at a total of 112.6k after two weeks. David Archuleta's Christmas From the Heart was up 21% to 21.5k despite slipping #44-52 for a total of 88.6k.
Further down the chart at #62 was Daughtry's Leave This Town, rising six spots and 57% in sales. Its total is now 766.5k. The band's first album re-entered the chart at #83, pulling in another 14.9k thanks to a 286% uptick in sales. Its three-year sales tally now rests at 4.575 million copies.
And Kelly Clarkson's Grammy-nominated All I Ever Wanted shot up #171-121 with 10.6k copies, up 114%, for a total of 765.7k.

Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood among 2010 Grammy Award nominees
Tonight's Grammy Award Nomination Concert on CBS lacked any mention of anything Idol (with the exception of second-long clips of Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry singing along in a montage of The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" and a clip of Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" music video), there were a few nominations for alums of the franchise, which can be seen below:
Best Pop Vocal Album - All I Ever Wanted, Kelly Clarkson
Best Female Country Vocal Performance - "Just A Dream," Carrie Underwood
Best Country Collaboration With Vocals - "I Told You So," Carrie Underwood & Randy Travis
Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album - Freedom, Mandisa
Best Musical Show Album - Ain't Misbehavin' Robert Sher, producer (Various, composer; Various, lyricist) (30th Anniversary Cast Recording With Ruben Studdard, Frenchie Davis & Others)
Although there seem to be less Idol nominees this year than last, it's always good to see at least some thrown in the mix. Still, the fact that none are represented in the major categories is a little disappointing.
The 2010 Grammy Awards will air on CBS on Sun., Jan. 31, at 8 p.m. ET. A full list of nominees for all categories can be found here.

'Idol' BB 200: 'Play On' #9 (12/5/09)
The assortment of albums from Idol alums grew on the Billboard Top 200 album sales chart for the chart week of Dec. 5, but not all data were amazingly good.
Carrie Underwood's numbers for her album Play On were stuffed once again, as another 86.2k copies were sold, down 33% from the previous week. It was down six spots to #9 and has sold 532.5k to date.
Next up was Kris Allen with the debut of his self-titled album, which came in right on target with estimates at #11 with 80.1k. Kris is the first winner to not have his first album debut in the Top 10, and his sales numbers are also the lowest for a winner to date.
Moving on, David Archuleta's Christmas From the Heart was up surprisingly big, gaining 83% and 31 spots to #44 with another 17.7k copies in the bank. Total to date is 67.2k Daughtry's Leave This Town was down 13% in sales to 11.4k, placing it at #68 on the chart, off 22 spots from the previous week. The disc has moved a total of 748.6k in all.
Debuting at #72 was Adam Lambert's unauthorized pre-Idol release Take One, which duped 11.1k-worth of fans into defying Adam's wishes to have people stay away from the attempt at a cheap buck by his former producer pals. Adam's real release will see huge returns on next week's chart.
And Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted finished off Idol representation at #171, down from #123 the previous week. It sold another 5k for the week and was off only 5% for a total of 755.1k.

Up next was Kelly Clarkson's album All I Ever Wanted, which sat at the midpoint of the chart thanks to a 21-spot slip to #100. It sold another 5.4k, down 4%, for a current total of 716.7k copies. Jordin Sparks' Battlefield also witnessed dramatic downward movement on the chart as it tumbled 32 spots to #157 on the heels of an 11% dip in sales. It ended up moving an additional 3.3k units to bring its total to 120.3k.
And Kellie Pickler's Kellie Pickler brought up the rear at #180, down three spots from the previous week despite seeing its sales jump 7%. Its weekly take of 3k copies brings its total to 317.2k.
