There were more ups than downs for Idol-related tracks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of Sept. 11.
Seeming to take a breather this week was Adam Lambert, whose "If I Had You" held steady at #32 for the second week in a row. Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" continued its downward trend, however, as it was off five spots to #61.
Fantasia's "Bittersweet" started to make more headway after falling back a few spots last week, advancing #82-74. And Daughtry's "September" moved ahead five spots to #80.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "If I Had You" #32 (9/4/10)
Two tracks by Idol alums made headway while two other tracks went in the opposite direction on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of Sept. 4.
Adam Lambert once again saw his latest single "If I Had You" gain ground on the chart, this time by 10 spots to #32. Carrie Underwood's "Undo It," on the other hand, was off by 11 spots to #56.
Daughtry's "September" saw the opposite come true, with a #91-80 jump, while Fantasia's "Bittersweet" was down slightly, #79-82.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "If I Had You" #42 (8/28/10)
Just like in that new Jennifer Aniston / Jason Bateman movie, there was a switch that took place among Idol-related tracks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of Aug. 28.
Adam Lambert's latest single "If I Had You" finally surpassed Carrie Underwood's leggy "Undo It," as the former rose 12 spots to #42 while the latter slid nine spots to #45. This is the first time since the week of June 12 that "Undo It" has not led artists from the franchise.
Continuing to make strides thanks to recent publicity was Fantasia's "Bittersweet," which was up #90-79 ahead of her album release today. And Daughtry's latest single "September" was up three spots to #91.

'Idol' Hot 100: Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" #36 (8/21/10)
There were a few more signs of life shown among Idol-related tracks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of Aug. 21.
It was no surprise that Carrie Underwood once again led the charge, with her single "Undo It" sliding 10 spots to #36.
The single that looks to be the heir apparent of "Undo It," Adam Lambert's "If I Had You," inched ahead two spots to #54. Fantasia also saw her current single make headway up the chart, possibly due to her OD controversy last week. "Bittersweet" was up #94-90.
To add to things, Daughtry's "September" debuted on the Hot 100 at #94.

'Idol' Hot 100: Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" #26 (8/14/10)
There was no real rhyme or reason to how Idol-related tracks performed on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of Aug. 14.
Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" finally cooled off this week as evidenced but the track's two-spot drop to #26. Adam Lambert, on the other hand, saw his "If I Had You" spurt ahead 13 spots to #56 on the heels of increased airplay.
Fantasia's "Bittersweet" seems to be following in the footsteps of Kelly Clarkson's "All I Ever Wanted," as the former rose just one spot to #94 on the chart. Expect it to start going backwards relatively soon.
On the Bubbling Under chart, however, Daughtry held on with an 11-spot jump to #2 for latest single "September." Expect a debut on the main chart by this time next week.

'Idol' Hot 100: Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" #24 (8/7/10)
There wasn't a whole lot of noteworthy movement among Idol-related tracks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of Aug. 7, but here's the skinny anyway.
Carrie Underwood once again held steady at #24 with her latest hit "Undo It." Adam Lambert's latest release, "If I Had You," followed this trend, as it stayed put at #69.
Fantasia was the only alum to see her track change places from last week's chart, as her "Bittersweet" was off three spots to #95.

'Idol' Hot 100: Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" #25 (7/24/10)
Carrie Underwood's latest single continued to make headway on the latest edition of Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of July 24.
"Undo It" was up two places for the week, ranking at #25, it's highest spot on the chart to week. Adam Lambert followed with two singles of his own, with "Whataya Want From Me" slipping #45-49, while his latest release, "If I Had You," was up #85-73.
Carrie wasn't the only winner represented on the Hot 100, though, as Fantasia finally saw her "Bittersweet" debut at #94 after weeks of languishing on the Bubbling Under chart.

'Idol' Hot 100: Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" #27 (7/17/10)
There were positive movements among tracks by Idol alums all around on the latest edition of Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of July 17.
Once again making headway with her latest single was Carrie Underwood, as she saw "Undo It" rise three spots to #27 after dipping a few spots the previous week. Also happy about this week's chart is Adam Lambert, as two of his singles gained ground. "Whataya Want From Me" was up two spots to #45, while his latest single "If I Had You" moved ahead #94-85.
Meanwhile on the Bubbling Under chart, Fantasia's "Bittersweet" continued its snail's pace inching up the chart, this week crawling ahead another two spots to #4.

It was deja vu for Carrie Underwood as her latest single retained the pole position among tracks by Idol alums on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of July 10.
Carrie's "Undo It" was off five spots to #30. Despite seeing his single "Whataya Want From Me" continue to fade with a #41-47 drop, Adam Lambert witnessed his latest single "If I Had You" debut on the chart at #94.
Also present was Fantasia's "Bittersweet," which once again missed the cut for the main chart but inched ahead one spot to #6 on the Bubbling Under chart.

For the third straight week, Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" remained the top Idol-related single on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of July 3.
The single, which has been on the chart for eight weeks, was off two spots from #23 on the previous edition of the chart, but it still held steady within the important benchmark of the Top 25.
The only other single from an Idol alum to make the cut on this edition of the chart was Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me," which was actually up one spot to #41.

'Idol' Hot 100: Carrie Underwood's "Undo It" #23 (6/26/10)
Although there are no sales data from the Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart, We at least were able to get a hold of the publication's coveted Hot 100 chart for the chart week of June 26. Of interest to us of course was the performance of Idol-related tracks, and the most recent issue's data wasn't as exciting as it could have been.
Leading the pack was Carrie Underwood, whose "Undo It" was up two spots to #23 for the week, marking its peak on the chart. Adam Lambert, on the other hand, actually held steady with "Whataya Want From Me" at #40 for the second-straight week, which was a little bit surprising considering its recent trajectory.
On the Bubbling Under chart, Fantasia held her own with "Bittersweet" off her forthcoming third studio album release, as it was up #18-14.
Even though there aren't any sales to examine this time, below are full chart positions courtesy of Billboard.

'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.

'Idol' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" #28 (5/29/10)
There were more downs than ups for Idol-related tracks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the chart week of May 29.
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)
The most recent edition of the Billboard Hot 100 chart was all drops and a debut for the chart week of May 22.
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)
If last week's edition of the Billboard Hot 100 chart was lackluster, then the issue for the chart week of May 15 was even more uninteresting.
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)
It was more of the same for Idol-related tracks on a pretty dry Billboard Hot 100 chart for the chart week of May 8.
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)
Adam Lambert saw his current single "Whataya Want From Me" reach a new peak on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of May 1.
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)
After a week of rough declines all around for Idol-related tracks, there was much more of a mixed bag on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of April 24.
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' Hot 100: Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" #23 (4/17/10)
It was a week of declines for Idol-related tracks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of April 17.
After cracking the Top 20 on last week's chart, Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" was off three spots to #23. It will probably be back on a positive track following his mentoring sessions and performance her shown on next week's episodes of Idol.
Kris Allen followed suit, as his sole charting song "Live Like We're Dying" was also off three spots to #26. Daughtry's single suffered the second-worst decline, though, as its "Life After You" decreased nine spots to #46.
But it was Carrie Underwood who saw her entry crumble the most, as "Temporary Home" became only her second official single to miss the Top 40. It went backwards #41-52, signaling what is very likely the end of small positive movements on the chart.
