Quote :: Both Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are in unfamiliar territory on the Billboard Hot 100 Thursday -- their current singles each fell on the chart after several consecutive weeks of improvement. While neither "American Idol" alum saw a substantial drop, it could mean that their songs have peaked for the time being.

In the case of Adam Lambert, it was hardly a plummet at all. His "Whataya Want From Me" slid backwards one spot after peaking at #24 last week. This could merely be a one-week bump for Adam, as the majority of his public appearances over the course of the past seven days have been on the other side of the world. However, he is going to have to compete with newer songs that are getting a massive bump thanks to digital sales.

Kris Allen, meanwhile, nearly slipped out of the top 20 with "Live Like We're Dying." After spending last week in the #18 spot, Kris is now resting at #20. Considering that his single has been around longer than Adam's (and he has also been the beneficiary of plenty of airplay), this could very well mean the end for the singer until he decides to release a follow-up single (which I'm betting will be "Before We Come Undone").

Do you think it's time for Adam Lambert and Kris Allen to release new singles?
