American Idol winners Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood lead the rest of their fellow Idol winners in radio airplay and awards. Clarkson, the season one winner who has gained a Country following thanks to her duet with Reba McEntire, takes the lead in radio spins with more than 3.5 million. Meanwhile, Underwood comes in with 1.5 million since her win on American Idol in 2005. Reaching just above Underwood's air time is Chris Daughtry, who had just over 2 million spins from his pop hit, "Home."
Taking the top of the list for most popular songs at radio since 2002 is once again Clarkson and Underwood. Clarkson's "Breakaway," was No. 1 while Underwood's "Before He Cheats," came in second. The next three were dominated by Clarkson with "Since U Been Gone," "Because of You" and "Behind These Hazel Eyes."
As far as awards go for the Idol winners, Underwood takes the lead with Grammy Award wins; she is also up for two more this year Jan. 31.
