This is the time of year when radio charts slow down, and older tracks fall away to make room for holiday tunes. So the top three looks the same as last week on the American Idol airplay chart: Kelly Clarkson's Mr. Know It All, followed by Daughtry's Crawling Back to You in a distant second place, then the Brad Paisley/Carrie Underwood duet, Remind Me, in third.
Idol artists appearing in the top 40 of various formats include Scotty McCreery, Casey James and Lauren Alaina (Country); Daughtry (Mainstream Rock); Jennifer Hudson (Urban AC); and Mandisa (Christian AC).
The holiday tunes keep heating up, with Carrie Underwood's Do You Hear What I Hear taking over for Kelly Clarkson's My Grown Up Christmas List as the week's most played in the Idolverse. Haley Reinhart and Casey Abrams' Baby, It's Cold Outside shows up at No. 83 on the Idol airplay chart, and several other songs makes their season debuts: Mandisa's Angels We Have Heard on High and Christmas Makes Me Cry, Carrie's O Holy Night and The First Noel; and Clay Aiken's Winter Wonderland and Hark the Herald Angels Sing/O Come All Ye Faithful medley.
