Kicking things off at #19 was Kris Allen's single "Live Like We're Dying," which marks the second time it as appeared in the Top 20 (it debuted at #18 last September). Nipping at its heels was "Whataya Want From Me" by Adam Lambert, having another week of upward movement thanks to a #25-22 climb.
Up next was Daughtry's "Life After You," which has seen some good airplay gains recently. It was up three spots to #36. Carrie Underwood did the boys one better, as her "Temporary Home" advanced by four spots to #44.
And Artists for Haiti's "We Are the World" charity single featuring Jordin Sparks, Jennifer Hudson and Katharine McPhee among others, saw its last week on the chart, was it collapsed #66-96. So much for trying to recreate the success of the original 25 years ago.

'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.

Digital sales roundup: "Live Like We're Dying" #22 (3/20/10)
Due to the likely absence of my usual source for Soundscan figures on Idol-related charts and sales figures for the foreseeable future, I am going to have to rely on other sources, mainly Brian Mansfield of USAToday.com's excellent Idol Chatter blog. So with that, here are data from Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart.
Kris Allen kicked things off with his single "Live Like We're Dying," which came in at #22, down three spots from the previous week thanks to a 10% sales drop to 57k downloads, putting its total at a clean 1.057 million to date. Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" held steady at #23 in light of a 7% decrease in sales, adding in 54k downloads for a new total of 597k.
There were some good numbers put up by debuts, including 40k for Kris's live charity performance of "Let It Be" and the Spanish language "Somos El Mundo: 25 por Haiti" featuring David Archuleta netted 15k for the week.
Rounded sales figures are made possible by Brian Mansfield at "Idol Chatter":
22 19 Kris Allen, "Live Like We're Dying" 57,000 -10% 1,057,000
23 23 Adam Lambert, "Whataya Want From Me" 54,000 -7% 597,000

'Idol' Hot 100: "Live Like We're Dying" #18 (3/13/10)
It was a larger roster than usual for tracks by Idol alums on the most recent edition of Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of March 13.
Kris Allen led action with a new peak for "Live Like We're Dying," which was up one spot to #18. Kris also saw his charity live single "Let It Be" debut at #63 thanks to a good amount of sales following his performance of the song on last week's results show.
Next up was Adam Lambert's single "Whataya Want From Me," which was up four spots to #24. The "We Are the World 25: For Haiti" charity single featuring Jordin Sparks, Katharine McPhee and Jennifer Hudson was down hard, dropping 30 spots to #36. Look for a quick departure from the chart.
Daughtry's "Life After You" was up five spots to #41 this week, and Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" continued to hold steady with an even #42. Carrie Underwood was up (slightly) #54-52 with her latest offering "Temporary Home."
A surprising placement was General Larry Platt's "Pants on the Ground," which was off 25 spots to #85. It probably won't be on the chart again next week. And Kellie Pickler's single "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You" made its way back onto the Hot 100 at #97 after falling off last week.

'Idol' Hot 100: "We Are the World 25: For Haiti" #6 (3/6/10)
It was another week of ups and downs for tracks by Idol alums according to the latest edition of Billboard's Hot 100 chart for the chart week of March 6.
After a good debut last week, "We Are the World 25: For Haiti" slid four spots to #6 in its second outing. The track, which features tons of artists including Jennifer Hudson, Katharine McPhee and Jordin Sparks, looks to be on its way down the chart thanks to big drop-offs in both sales and airplay.
Kris Allen followed with his single "Live Like We're Dying," which was up two spots to #19, marking its biggest placement to date. Adam Lambert followed with "Whataya Want From Me," continuing its slow but steady climb with an advance of three spots to #28.
Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" was gone from the Top 40 thanks to a two-spot drop, while Daughtry's "Life After You" and Carrie Underwood's "Temporary Home" held steady at #46 and #54, respectively.

David Archuleta lends vocals to "Somos el Mundo"
Although he was not included among the 80+ artists that leant their vocals to the 25th anniversary remake of "We Are the World," David Archuleta was recruited to sing on the Spanish language version "Somos el Mundo." Per a blog post from Arch yesterday:
Being at the Somos El Mundo recording yesterday was my first time being around and meeting so many Latin artists. I was pretty nervous with the interviews and being new to that crowd, but it was really fun at the same time and a lot of really nice people. It was good to see PeeWee there, and Ednita Nazario was incredibly nice! Jon Secada, Cristian Castro, Ricardo Montaner, Chayanne, Thalia, and Luis Fonsi were some of the people there. I was like in shock and thought I was going to pass out when I met Luis Fonsi lol.
As he mentioned in his blog post, Arch spoke with the Spanish language media while at the event on the red carpet:
The music video for "Somos El Mundo" will premiere on Univision's talk show Cristina on Mon., March 1. The single will available to purchase on iTunes, with all proceeds going to the Haiti effort.

Digital sales roundup: "We Are the World" #1 (2/27/10)
Once again my usual source for Idol-related tracks on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart is on vacation, so we'll have to analyze rounded numbers courtesy of Brian Mansfield over at "Idol Chatter" instead.
The charity remake "We Are the World" easily took the top spot this week, selling 267k downloads. The single features the vocals of Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks and Katharine McPhee in addition to some 70-something other artists.
Back into familiar territory, Kris Allen's single "Live Like We're Dying" was up three spots to #21 with another 66k sold this week. It was up 15% and has now sold an impressive 871k with no signs of stopping anytime soon. There was another debut on the chart with the official "Pants on the Ground" single courtesy of General Larry Platt coming in at #22 with 63k copies. After a few ripoffs made their way on the chart, the general now boasts a total of 65k for his original tune.
Next up was Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me," which advanced #36-34 thanks to a 6% sales incline to 52k. It now has sold 425k in all. Meanwhile, Daughtry also saw its latest single "Life After You" move in a positive direction, as it jumped 11 spots to #51 and rose 14% in sales. It sold 34k for the week, adding to its total of 404k.
And Carrie Underwood rounded out Idol representation with her singles "Cowboy Casanova" and "Temporary Home." The former was down 9% in sales to 30k and fell #53-59 for a total of 1.147 million, will the latter debuted at #67 thanks to an 8% sales climb to 27k for a current total of 197k.
There are also two off the chart tracks of interest, as the "Didi Benami effect" sent Katharine McPhee's "Terrified" surging to 20k for a 22k total and Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" pulled in another 18k, down 14%, to 1.225 million.
