We've survived the first two cities of the Season Nine Miss American Idol auditions in Boston and Atlanta. It looks like we may have already seen a couple of contestants who may make it pretty far in the competition this year!
Until the crowning of the Season Nine Miss American Idol winner here's a look at what's going on with the previous group on this week's Billboard charts. There's actually quite a bit happening:
The Supreme Miss American Idol, Season Four winner Carrie Underwood is still going strong on the Top Albums chart with her latest, Play On, hanging in there at #18.
The Season Five Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, Katherine McPhee manages to make a ripple on the chart with her album, Unbroken, debuting at #27.
The Season Eight Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, Adam Lambert is at #40 with his release For Your Entertainment.
The Season Five Miss American Idol 3rd Runner Up, Chris Daughtry is hanging in there at #59 with his sophomore album, Leave This Town.
Finally, holding on for dear life at #97 this week is the self-titled debut album from the Season Eight Miss American Idol winner, Kris Allen.
There's also quite a bit of activity on the Billboard HOT 100 Singles chart this week:
After peaking at #13, the Season One Miss American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson is now at #25 with Already Gone, the third single from her album, All I Ever Wanted.
Despite the weak showing of his album, Kris Allen's single, Live Like We're Dying is at #33 this week after peaking at #30.
The lead single, Cowboy Casanova, from Carrie Underwood's album Play On peaked at #11 and it is at #43 this week.
Chris Daughtry is at #56 with his single Life After You.
The title track from Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment pretty much fizzled at radio so he is already working the second single, Whataya Want From Me, which is at #65. In fact, all day today VH1 has been playing the video at the top of every hour, so hopefully that will give it a push.
Carrie Underwood is also already working the second single from her album with Temporary Home making it's debut this week at #89.
The premiere episode of Season Three Miss American Idol winner, Fantasia's reality show on VH1, Fantasia For Real was on this week. We got an inside look at how even after winning, it takes a lot of hard work to stay on top. We learned that at only 25, Fantasia is supporting 6 members of her family - and they aren't all that appreciative of her work. Especially her 28 year old brother who would rather go test drive Ferrari's than get a real job. Fantasia seems to have a pretty smart manager who is working closely with her to get a new album and single released so we'll have to wait and see how successful it turns out to be in the next few weeks....
