Via MJ's (American Idol 10th Anniversary Compilation Drops March 15 | mjsbigblog), Carrie's BHC will be included on the compilation track to honor Idol's 10th anniversary.
The album will drop on March 15.
Thats great! But how could you have an American Idol Greatest Hits album and not include Carrie? haha
They should've just the entire Some Hearts album on there![]()
It's in order of the seasons of Idol...they started with Kelly and ended with Lee.
Okay, so my reaction when I saw the tracklist for this compilation was that many of the songs couldn't be considered hits as the title suggests. I thought it might be false advertising lol. Of course, we all know BHC was a hit, and Kelly's Since U Been Gone was a hit, but I decided to look up the numbers for all of the tracks for comparison. For those of you that are interested, here's what I found (all chart data is Billboard). I hope this is okay to post!
Since U Been Gone - Certified Platinum, #2 on Hot 100, #1 Pop, #2, Adult Top 40, #22 Hot AC
Superstar - Grammy nomination, #112 Hot 100, #1 R&B
Invisible - Certified Gold, #37 Hot 100, #8 AC
When I See U - Certified Gold, Grammy nomination, #32 Hot 100, #1 R&B
BHC - 3 Grammy nominations (2 wins), Certified Multi-Platinum, #8 Hot 100, #1 Country, #6 AC, #9 Adult Pop
Takin' It To The Streets - #69 Hot 100
Home - Grammy nomination, Certified Platinum, #5 Hot 100, #1 Adult Top 40 and Hot AC
No Air - Grammy nomination, Certified Platinum, #3 Hot 100, #4 R&B, #2 Adult Pop
Light On - Certified Platinum, #17 Hot 100, #20 Adult Top 40, #23 Pop, #10 Hot AC
Live Like We're Dying - #18 Hot 100, #8 AC, #3 Adult Top 40, #10 Modern Top 40
Whataya Want From Me - Grammy nomination, #10 Hot 100, #12 Modern Top 40, #2 Adult Top 40
Sweet Serendipity - #38 Adult Pop, #96 Hot 100
One artist/song that should have been there:
Crush (David Archuleta) - 1.9 million sold, #2 Hot 100, #6 Hot AC, #15 Adult Top 40, #12 Pop
From the numbers, I guess some songs were bigger than I thought, and poor Taylor and Lee because their numbers aren't even a fair comparison to the other Idol winners.
Very cool!
They did a decent job with the tracklist, too.
"Home," BHC, Since U Been Gone, "Whatdaya Want From Me" and "No Air" were huge hits, and I believe Lee's song did fairly well on the pop charts a few months back. "Invisible" was also a decent hit for Clay a few years ago as well.
Missing:
"Over It" (a huge hit for Kat a few years ago on pop radio).
"Crush"
"Wait For You" Eliot Yamin
Also missing - "Spotlight", Jennifer Hudson
It's all the songs I expect to see, and I find it interesting that they showed the popularity of Adam.
As far as AI10 goes, I think I was kind of hoping for another DVD or DVD sets or something like that. Ah well
According to Amazon, there is also a picture book on AI coming out next month
