Idol airplay - 6/20/11: Country hits take top three 'Idol' airplay slots

[Pi314CA]

It's a good time to be an Idol with a country record. Country singles take the top three spots on this week's American Idol airplay chart, starting with crossover hit Don't You Wanna Stay. After topping USA TODAY's Country radio chart earlier this year, the Jason Aldean/Kelly Clarkson duet current sits at No. 13 AC and No. 11 Hot AC, according to Mediabase.

Rising quickly behind it is Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood's Remind Me, which moves to No. 18 Country this week. And Scotty McCreery's I Love You This Big, the No. 3 Idol song, is at No. 22 on the Country chart. Meanwhile, Lauren Alaina's Like My Mother Does and Kellie Pickler's Tough continue to add spins, though neither has broken into the Country top 40 yet.

Wow at BHC... Monster.

 

[quincyeyes]

Thanks! I always love seeing this chart.

 

[carriecountrystar]

wow. BHC is getting more spins than even "Undo It"!

 

[quincyeyes]

It is great to see that UI and CC are still doing well and holding their ground. BHC always seems to be above Carrie's other songs on this chart unless she has a current single charting. There is a good mix up top regarding Carrie's songs from her 3 albums pretty consistently - BHC, JTTW and Wasted (Some Hearts), Last Name and All American Girl (Carnival Ride) and UI and Cowboy Casanova (Play On). It is also great to see her rendition of the National Anthem getting enough spins to make this chart almost every week. Also the last couple of weeks we have seen that HGTA has been spun enough to make the chart. These last two things I am particularly happy about. However, I can not go a week without complaining that JAD is not only under-appreciated but under-played as well. It is a mystery to me.

its interesting because JAD's video has almost as many views as Before he Cheats (like 20 million views). this tells me its one of her biggest hits by far but id still put CC or UI or AMG above it as far as popularity. so its weird how that works.

I think its because the JAD video is better than those other ones (at least it is in my opinion) but I feel like people would rather listen to CC or UI on the radio

Wow at BHC... Monster.

I've noticed that BHC is getting more and more into people's conversation. A number of tweets say "I'm going to Carrie Underwood his car" and such. Perhaps it is Carrie's angst that really resonate with women going through a certain (infidelity) situation. Also, people seem to love blasting BHC on their speakers.

BHC is a legend

I remember one of my friend's who's black, when that song was on pop radio, going "Man that carrie girl's got some black girl in her" lol... she is just so badass in that song.

The original Before He Cheats video had around 8 + million views(somewhere around there not sure of the exact total) when Sony pulled it from youtube for copyright violation - this is the 2nd Before He Cheats video

Pretty incredible how well BHC is still doing. lol
