Kelly Clarkson and beyond: Idols on the radio
For example, while Kelly's still at No. 1 on USA TODAY's AC airplay chart with Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You), Idol acts also have four consecutive spots in the 30s of that chart: Carrie Underwood's Good Girl (No. 34), Kris Allen's The Vision of Love (No. 35), Casey Abrams' Get Out (No. 36) and Kelly's Dark Side (No. 37).
Idols have three consecutive spots on the Hot AC chart, with Haley Reinhart's Free (No. 31), Daughtry's Outta My Head (No. 32) and Phillip Phillips' Home (No. 33). Kris Allen and Adam Lambert are nearby at No. 38 and No. 40, respectively.
And speaking of Casey Abrams, he's on two charts with two songs this week: AC with Get Out and Smooth AC with Simple Life. Meanwhile, Leah LaBelle's Sexify jumps to No. 32 on the Urban AC spot this week, one place ahead of Michael Lynche's Who's Gonna Love You More.
