Idols on the Music Chart

Kelly’s Clarkson dance tune dances up the Hot 100

The big mover among American Idol tunes on the music chart this week is Kelly Clarkson’s latest single, “People Like Us.”

Likely fueled by the release of the music video, the song jumped a whopping 20 spots on the Hot 100.

Last week, “People Like Us” barely made the chart at number 97. This week, it soared to 77.

The song also reached a new high of 11 on the adult pop song chart.

But it failed to gain ground on the dance/club play chart, remaining at number four for a second straight week.

If it reaches number one, it would mark Kelly’s third number one dance tune.

Elsewhere on the chart:

* The singles from the Idol finalists are no where to be found. Candice Glover’s “I Am Beautiful” dropped off the Hot 100 after a single week. The song has now dropped out of the top 15 on the R&B chart and the top 25 on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart as well.

* Fantasia’s fourth album, “Side Effects of You,” is still number three on the R&B albums chart, selling nearly 200,000 copies to date. The album slipped from 31 to 39 on the Billboard 200, where it’s the top Idol-related album on the chart.

Here’s the complete rundown.
