Idols on the singles charts
Last week, Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox hit the charts with a total of five singles. This week, Crystal has disappeared, and all that's left are two singles by Lee. Not a good sign for the longevity of this season's Idols. Here's the rather brief list of Idol-related singles on the Hot 100. 

• 25. "Undo It" (Carrie Underwood) : LW 25 
• 40. “Whataya Want From Me” (Adam Lambert): LW 35
• 72. "Beautiful Day" (Lee DeWyze): LW 24
