August 31, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

Carrie Underwood might be a co-host at the County Music Awards on Nov. 10, but she wasn’t even mentioned when the first round of nominees were announced this morning. Instead, the CMA darlings appear to be former Nashville Star contestant Miranda Lambert and York-Fair-bound Lady Antebellum. Two Lambert songs — “White Liar” and “The House…

Big advances on music charts for Daughtry, Adam

August 27, 2010 By Mark Franklin 0

The Billboard music charts aren’t exactly dripping with American Idol alumni these days. But two Idol tunes made big jumps this week. Adam Lambert’s latest single, “If I Had You,” scored a double-digit advance for the second straight week, moving up from 42 to 32 on the Hot 100. My guess is, it could wind…

Great news, Idol fans. A former Idol contestant will appear at this year’s York Fair after all. The fair has a rich history of bringing Idol contestants to the event.

Months have passed since anyone other than Carrie Underwood has topped Idols on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. But she’s been supplanted. While Carrie’s “Undo It” fell from 36 to 45 on the Hot 100 last week, Adam Lambert’s latest single was surging. “If I Had You” leaped eight spots on the Hot 100,…

The only good news on the Billboard charts this week comes for a former Idol winner who needs it most — Fantasia. First, Fantasia was named in a legal filing by a woman who accused her of breaking up her marriage. Then she was taken to the hospital for an overdose. That’s a lot of…
