In fact only three American Idol alumni remain on the chart, all of them male, and only one of them a winner of the show. Leading the group is "Baptized" by Season 5 fourth place finisher Daughtry at #70 after 9 weeks. Next on the chart is Season 10 winner, Scotty McCreery, at #120 with "See You Tonight" which sees its first week out of the Top 100 after 14 weeks. His numbers are listed on the <a href="http://www.roughstock.com/blog/country-album-chart-news-the-week-of-january-22-2013-jennifer-nettles-jon-pardi-rosanne-cash-debut-in-top-5" target="_blank">RoughStock Country blog</a>, so we know he sold another 3,000 in sales this week to bring his total to 190K. The only other Idol on the chart is Season 11 seventh place finisher Colton Dixon who popped on the chart last week at #132 and hangs on at #189. Colton will probably drop off the chart next week, leaving only Daughtry and Scotty on the chart to represent the Idols as Season 13 continues to develop. Will any of the contestants we have seen so far in any of the auditions be able to become the next Chris Daughtry or Scotty McCreery? (I think some of them would be happy enough to just be the next Colton Dixon.) There appears to be some talented contestants this year, both male and female contestants, and hopefully some promising individuals of both genders make it to the voting rounds (unlike last year!)
