This week for Adam Lambert on the “American Idol” singles chart, it looks to be yet another week of success for “Whataya Want From Me” — even if new single “If I Had You” still isn’t making too much of a major footprint.
Adam tops 1.3 million.
According to the latest numbers from USA Today, Adam’s second single off of “For Your Entertainment” pushed 24,000 copes sold in the past week, a decrease of 24% but still enough for the singer to hang on at #2 on the chart. The top-selling “Idol” alum for this week was (no surprise) Carrie Underwood, who continues to dominate with “Undo It” (which could very well become her best mainstream hit since “Before He Cheats”). In total, “Whataya Want From Me” has been purchased 1.3 million times.
So when can we start to see “If i Had You” creeping its way up the charts? While the music video release will certainly help carry the song to a larger audience, one of the major setbacks it faces is that the majority of diehard Adam fans already have it on the album. So really, we are looking at a situation here where music television and the radio will drive everything forward.
