Quote :: If the latest numbers are any indication, Adam Lambert may be on his way to catching Kris Allen and maybe even Kelly Clarkson on the "American Idol" airplay chart. Adam's song "Whataya Want From Me" gained an impressive 900 spins on the radio in the past week, putting it at a number over 5,000. In comparison, Kris Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" gained slightly less than 500 while Clarkson's "Already Gone" continues to hover around 12,000.

So could Adam catch up to these two former winners? It's possible, but there are still a number of other factors to consider. For example, Adam may be experiencing higher gains simply because his song is newer to the radio, and because requests from his diehard fans are leading to a temporary boost in airplay. We will probably know the true fate of "Whataya Want From Me" in about a month, as the song is further solidified on the radio and some more of the early requests start to fade away.
