Idols on the Music Chart
Idols on the music charts; big jumps for Jordin Sparks, Daughtry

July 16, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Good news for Daughtry and Jordin Sparks. Their latest singles made big jumps on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, which can only translate into more good news in album sales. I’ll be surprised if Daughtry’s just-released “Leave This Town” isn’t among the top five on the Billboard 200 next week. Jordin releases her…

What would Idol do without Paula Abdul?

July 16, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Paula Abdul, leaving American Idol? Say it isn’t so. At least not if the alternative is Kara DioGuardi. The Internet has been buzzing with talk of Paula leaving Idol since Saturday.

Season seven Idols have been making all sorts of music news lately. David Cook just performed at the Major League All-Star Home Run Derby. Brooke White and Michael Johns just released albums. Carly Smithson joined a new band. Ever wonder what became of David Hernandez, the guy who finished 12th on Idol last year. No?…

Time to rethink this coronation song concept, Idol

July 15, 2009 By Mark Franklin 0

Turns out “No Boundaries” had all sorts of boundaries. First, the Idol coronation song failed to become a hit for Kris Allen, peaking at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 200 then dropping like a rock off Idol judge Kara Dioguardi’s imaginery mountain. That’s as badly as one of these songs has ever done. Now…
