'Idol' airplay: Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert

Holiday tunes take up half the top 10 on this week's American Idol airplay chart, but three current singles manage to find a place there, as well. Kelly Clarkson's Mr. Know It All (#15 AC, #1 Hot AC, #11 Top 40) remains an easy No. 1 for Idol airplay, though its spins appear to have peaked. Daughtry's Crawling Back to You (#37 AC, #9 Hot AC) comes in at No. 2, while Scotty McCreery's The Trouble With Girls (#25 Country) takes the No. 7 spot.

Next week's chart should look markedly different, as Christmas airplay plummets. In particular, look for this week's No. 100 debut to make a big leap. That would be Adam Lambert's Better Than I Know Myself, which had 54 spins in its first week, led by San Francisco's Alice @ 97.3 (KLLC-FM). Even if Better Than I Know Myself doesn't pick up a lot of spins (though it'll almost surely gain some, and maybe a bunch), the diminished play for the 30 seasonal songs on this week's chart should guarantee it a giant leap on next week's Idol chart.
