Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Album number three from Fantasia landed at number two in its Billboard debut.

Only Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream” topped Fantasia’s “Back to Me” in the charts posted this morning.

Two other debuts — “Versus” by Usher and “The Reason Why” by Little Big Town — entered the charts at number four and five, respectively.

Fantasia is about to release her second single from the album, “I’m Doin’ Me.” She’ll reportedly perform the song on the BET music video show “106 & Park” on Sept. 8 and against on “Live! With Regis & Kelly” the following day.

“Bittersweet,” the first single off the new album, holds steady at number seven on the Hip-Hop/R&B chart and jumps from 82 to 74 on the Hot 100 singles chart this week.

Elsewhere on the music charts:

Kris Allen: “Live Like We’re Dying” looks like it will never die on the adult contemporary chart. Long gone from the Hot 100, it’s number 10 among adult contemporary singles for the second straight week.
