'Idol' holiday airplay peaks; Adam Lambert's single debuts
Snipped for Adam content
Quote :
Next week's chart should look markedly different, as Christmas airplay plummets. In particular, look for this week's No. 100 debut to make a big leap. That would be Adam Lambert's Better Than I Know Myself, which had 54 spins in its first week, led by San Francisco's Alice @ 97.3 (KLLC-FM). Even if Better Than I Know Myself doesn't pick up a lot of spins (though it'll almost surely gain some, and maybe a bunch), the diminished play for the 30 seasonal songs on this week's chart should guarantee it a giant leap on next week's Idol chart.
