Idols who have reached No. 1 on the Christian charts include Clay
Aiken, Mandisa, Chris Sligh, Jason Castro, Kris Allen and Underwood.
Kimberley Locke was the first Idol to reach No. 1
on the dance charts, followed by Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin
Sparks, Blake Lewis and Adam Lambert.
The
Adult Contemporary and Adult Top 40 charts have also been dominated
by Idols. Clarkson was the first to top charts in both formats,
followed by Daughtry. Locke has three AC No. 1s, all with holiday
songs. Underwood has also topped the AC charts, along with Elliott
Yamin, David Cook, Sparks and David Archuleta, while Allen and
Lambert have reigned on the Adult Top 40 charts.
In an unbroken string dating back to season one, which premiered
on Fox-TV 10 years ago tonight, every Idol winner (see list below)
has had at least one No. 1 on the Billboard charts, from Clarkson
to Phillip Phillips, winner of season 11. His version of "Home"
debuted on top of the Rock Digital Songs chart two weeks ago.
