Quote :: Adam Lambert and Kris Allen still haven't reached the top spot on the "American Idol" airplay chart, but one of them is certainly getting closer. Allen's "Live Like We're Dying" pushed past 9,000 spins for the first time last week, and is now sitting less than 2,300 behind Kelly Clarkson's ballad "Already Gone" (which is starting to slowly decline) at #1. If Allen manages to continue his upward movement (which could receive a boost this week thanks to him performing on Thursday's "Idol" results show), he could reach the pinnacle in a few weeks.

Adam Lambert, meanwhile, gained about 800 more spins for "Whataya Want From Me" to put it at 5,809 for the week. While last season's runner-up doesn't have a major TV appearance to fall back on this week, he could still get some support thanks to frequent song requests and a performance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" March 2. (However, he will be performing "Music Again" rather than his current single.)

Do you think Adam Lambert and Kris Allen can continue their upward movement on the charts? Let me know your thoughts with a comment and check back later Monday for highlights from Allen's upcoming press conference.
