The Season 11 Miss American Idol winner Phillip Phillips sees his first album "The World From the Side of the Moon" debut on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart at #4 with sales of 169,000 copies. In addition, his single, Home, has been in the top 10 of the itunes sales chart for many weeks now and it is holding strong at #12 this week on the Billboard HOT 100.
For comparison, the season 10 Miss American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery, entered at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart in October of last year with his first album, "Clear as Day." It bowed with the more robust figure of 197,000 copies sold.
In other more holiday festive news, Scotty McCreery performed at the Christmas in Rockefeller Center to promote his new collection of holiday songs. He sang Holly Jolly Christmas.
Also performing this Rockefeller Center tree lighting event was the Queen of Christmas and brand new American Idol judge, Mariah Carey. She opened the show with a super fun rendition of her anthem All I Want For Christmas Is You. Then at the end of the night she returned to perform Christmas Time Is In The Air Again from her amazing holiday collection Merry Christmas 2 You. She looked stunning is a long silver gown and her vocals were simply outstanding. I can think of no better way to kick off the holiday season!

Idols at the American Music Awards
The American Idols were once again featured prominently at the American Music Awards.
The Season 11 Miss American Idol winner Phillip Phillips was on hand as a presenter. His single, Home, is still going strong in the Top 10 on the Billboard HOT 100 singles chart and his debut album will be in stores tomorrow. With this high profile appearance, it is sure to make an impressive impact on the sales charts.
The Season 1 Miss American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, did not win either of the awards she was nominated for, but she did get a chance to perform a great medley of her greatest hits. She started out with Miss Independent, went on to Since U Been Gone, What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger, and ended with her latest single, Catch My Breath.
The Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood, quite literally blew away all of the competition with her outstanding live vocals. She performed the third single from her album Blown Away for the first time. It's called Two Black Cadillacs and it is destined to become yet another smash hit. Carrie also won the award for Favorite Country Album for Blown Away. In a very exceptional bit of trivia, Carrie has now won the Favorite Country Album at the American Music Awards for ALL FOUR of her albums! She won for Some Hearts, Carnival Ride, Play On, and now she has won for Blown Away!
Looking ahead, there is the People's Choice Awards coming up on January 9, 2013 and there are three more nominations for Carrie Underwood. She is up for Favorite Female Music Artist, Favorite Country Music Artist and Favorite Album for Blown Away. :)

The American Idols are CMA winners!
The 46th Annual CMA awards have come and gone. It was a great night of wonderful country music and, as usual for the past few years, the American Idols were very well represented. Turns out that this year none of them actually won any of the awards, though. The excitement of Season 1 Miss American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson being nominated in the same Female Vocalists of the year category with The Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner, Carrie Underwood turned out to be disappointing all around with the actual award going to nominee of lesser talents.
Even with this unfortunate loss, the American Idols still came out as winners as far as I am concerned.
WINNER - Season 5 Miss American Idol finalist, Kellie Pickler, made an appearance as a presenter looking fabulous and sharing her bubbly personality with the crowd. It was very noticeable that her usual long and glamorous blond hair was almost completely shaved off. This was due to her showing her support to a dear friend of hers who is dealing with cancer treatments. Kellie shaved her head and once again showed what a true star she is.
WINNER - The Season 10 Miss American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery, was also on hand as a presenter. After his platinum selling #1 debut album came out last year, he has been wholeheartedly welcomed into the Country Music community. Just last week he released his second album, Christmas With Scotty McCreery, and it made it all the way up to #4 on the Billboard Top albums chart.
WINNER - Season 1 Miss American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, enjoyed huge success a couple of years ago when she joined Jason Aldean on the CMA stage to perform their hit Don't You Wanna Stay. It looks as though she could be able to repeat that with an outstanding delivery of some pure pop pleasure with her performance of Don't Rush with Vince Gill. This is easily her most fun pop song that she has given fans in years. Don't Rush can be found on her new Greatest Hits album that will be available on November 19th.
WINNER - The Supreme Miss American Idol, Season 4 winner Carrie Underwood, was once again at the front and center of the CMA's serving as the very entertaining host of the night along with Brad Paisley. She looked stunning in an assortment of beautiful ensembles and she was funny and charming all night long. She also provided the most powerful performance of the night with her latest single, the title track from her album Blown Away. Also, the video for Blown Away, a dramatic depiction of the tragic lyrics of domestic abuse, has hit the #1 position on the CMT Top 20 Video Countdown this week.
