The Idols are a #1 Smash Hit!

The Season 5 Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up, Katherine McPhee is officially a smash hit as her new TV show, Smash, came in at #1 for the timeslot with 11.5 million viewers.

The Season 1 Miss American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, also moves up to #1 on the Billboard HOT 100 this week with her uptempo pop anthem "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)".

This becomes her third #1 song on the chart. Her first Billboard HOT 100 #1 was "A Moment Like This" that stayed there for two weeks in 2002. She returned to the summit with "My Life Would Suck Without You" for two weeks beginning this week in 2009.

"Stronger" soars to the Hot 100's top spot with top Airplay Gainer honors of 58 million audience impressions. This is up 49% from last week according to Nielsen BDS.

The song sold 237,000 downloads this week and this is up 6% from last week. This total sales in one week is Kelly's second-best sales week ever, outpaced only by the first week sales of "My Life Would Suck Without" selling 280,000.
