'Idol' Hot 100: Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" #25 (6/19/10) [plus sales figures!]

Last week's top represented Idol on Billboard's Hot 100 chart saw his single drop a whopping 48 spots in its second week for the chart week of June 19, which was made only more exciting by the appearance of digital sales figures for the first time in months.

Carrie Underwood held down the fort with her newest hit "Undo It," which was once again at #25 for the week. The single sold 64.1k tracks and now stands at 284.1k. Continuing to descend the chart was Adam Lambert and his "Whataya Want From Me," as it slid #35-40 and pulled in 29.1k for a total of 1.296 million.

And then there was Lee DeWyze, who witnessed his winning cover of "Beautiful Day" tumble #24-72 thanks to a 61% drop in sales to 37.4k tracks. It has sold 132.6k after two weeks. Lee's other tracks on the Hot 100 - "Hallelujah" and his duet with Crystal Bowersox on "Falling Slowly" - were down as well, but not as badly. The former dropped #44-76 and sold 33.4k while the latter fell #66-80 and sold 29.7k. Their totals stand at 96.4k and 73.7k, respectively.

'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.

Leading 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.

Poll of the week: "The Time of My Life" is coronation song of choice

It looks like IDOL LIVE readers still love their magic rainbows, as they selected David Cook's classic "The Time of My Life" as their favorite coronation song among all nine singles released by winners over the course of Idol's storied history with cheesy songs.

Cook, who has been able to shed the embarrassing lyrics despite having an actual radio hit with "Life," would probably appreciate the 31 votes cast in favor of the track, which enabled him to take 44% of all 69 votes cast over the past week.

Not surprisingly, "A Moment Like This" was runner-up in this competition, as the original coronation single by Kelly Clarkson nabbed 14 votes (20%), while Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven" was right behind with 11 votes (15%).

The only real surprise was that "No Boundaries" didn't finish last. Kara DioGuardi must have worked pretty hard to vote five times, giving the track she wrote 7% of all votes cast. Less surprising was how badly Lee DeWyze's "Beautiful Day" performed, as it could only manage four votes (5%). The other four tracks were basically negligible.

In the latest edition of the poll of the week series, readers are asked who their choice to replace Simon Cowell as judge would be. You will have exactly six days to vote.

A Moment Like This 14 (20%)
Flying Without Wings 0 (0%)
I Believe 2 (2%)
Inside Your Heaven 11 (15%)
Do I Make You Proud 0 (0%)
This Is My Now 2 (2%)
The Time of My Life 31 (44%)
No Boundaries 5 (7%)
Beautiful Day 4 (5%)

Total votes: 69
