→ Amanda Fondell’s All This Way Vaults to the Top

Amanda Fondell may have gone all the way in the Idol final, but there weren’t enough fans out there to send ‘All This Way’ to the top. Looking at the charts stats below, the trend is unfortunately negative for the past winners.

Last year’s winner Jay Smith made it to No.3 with ‘Dreaming People,’ becoming the first Idol winner to miss the top-spot. Amanda Fondell could theoretically improve her position next week, but that’s highly unlikely.
