The Dixie Chicks' latest single is #709 on the Mediabase Pop Radio Airplay chart as of today. It had been on two stations when it debuted, lost them, and apparently was being played a bit on two more stations, but one already dropped the song.
In the meantime, Taylor Hick shows up with an unreleased single at #699 on the chart. It has two stations playing Taylor's rendition of "You Are So Beautiful" from the show (probably two of his hometown stations).
ROFLMAO! Taylor, with an unreleased single that isn't on any label beats the Chicks in radio airplay by 10 spots.
Oh, and BTW, Josh Gracin's new single is already at #25 on Mediabase's Country Radio Airplay chart. Josh, as most of us remember, was also not someone Simon Cowell appreciated. Simon didn't even remember Kelly Clarkson from the auditions phase during Season 1 (his favorite that year was Tamyra Gray). Simon never liked Clay Aiken. He never liked Josh, and he didn't like Taylor. I think I'm gonna listen more to Randy and Paula from now on. ;-)
Excellent post, Wolfstar. Thanks for the update and info. :)
Good for Taylor!! I understand from previous posts that he trademarked his name prior to auditioning. He seems like a very savvy guy. As for the Chicks...I don't listen to CW, but when you're asking yourself, "What Would Springsteen Do", I gotta figure something has really gone bad for those otherwise talented womeen.
Been thinking about the judging. Every year we get great new talent. Seems to me we have had enough of the same three judges. Time for some fresh new judges. Not so jaded and so predictable. Getting tired of Simon already. He's worn out his welcome....IMO
I think I'm gonna listen more to Randy and Paula from now on. ;-)
Yes, me too. Simon didn't like Bo or Chris either.

Remember, they are the ones who put Crazy Dave through to Hollywood, too.
