Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Carrie Underwood did it again.

Not that there was any doubt that she would.

“Two Black Cadillacs” advanced to number two on Billboard’s country airplay chart this week.

That marks the 16th consecutive single from Carrie that has advanced to at least number two as a country single.

The streak extends all the way back to what was really her first country single, “Jesus Take the Wheel,” released in 2005.

Since then, she’s had 11 singles go platinum — signaling 1 million copies sold.

And none of those numbers include her smash duet of “Remind Me” with Brad Paisley, which went platinum and hit number one on the country chart.

Carrie will be performing at the Giant Center in Hershey on Monday. But if you haven’t gotten tickets and hope to go … good luck.

The show is sold out, according to Ticketmaster.

Other chart news …

* American Idol’s ratings might be in decline, but performing a song on the show still has its benefits. Season 11 champ Phillip Phillips showed up last week to perform “Gone, Gone, Gone.” This week, that song bolted from 100 to 59 on the Hot 100 singles chart while his album jumped from 33 to 18 on the Billboard 200.

* Colton Dixon’s “You Are” reached a new peak of 13 on the Christian singles chart. His debut album, “A Messenger,” is 120 on the Billboard 200 and has held a spot on that chart for seven weeks, a pretty healthy stay for someone who finished seventh on Idol.

Here’s the complete chart rundown.
