Original Idol Kelly Clarkson has the top two songs on the chart — “Since You’ve Been Gone” and “Stronger” — plus six of the top 10. She has 18 songs on the chart overall.

And Carrie has 20 singles among those top 100, topped by “Before He Cheats” at number nine.

But the chart features contributions from lots of other past Idol contestants, from Jordin Sparks (#3 with “No Air”) to Phillip Phillips (#6 with “Home”) to Katharine McPhee (“Somewhere Over the Rainbow” at 79) and Kimberley Locke (“8th World Wonder” at 74).

So, which former Idols have the most songs among the top 100 after Kelly and Carrie?

Glad you asked because I just finished counting.

Chris Daughtry and his band come in third with nine, including “It’s Not Over,” which checks in at number 10.

Fantasia is next with six, followed by David Cook and Jordin with five apiece. David’s biggest hit, according to this list, is “The Time of My Life” at number 24.

Hey, Billboard has even included audio clips of most of the songs.
