"If You Didn't Love Me," Phil Stacey

[CLEM]

Lead single from Phil Stacey from American Idol. This is surprisingly good.

As would I.

It's not bad. I still don't like his voice though.

I like this, though the chorus is repetitive.

[anitabakerfan]

Better than I thought....he's got potential.

GETTING OUR PHIL: Add one more "American Idol" contestant to the list of competitors from the popular TV series who have made it to the Billboard charts. Season six sixth place finalist Phil Stacey enters Hot Country Songs at No. 55 with his debut single, "If You Didn't Love Me" (Lyric Street). Stacey is the third contestant from season six to chart (after Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis), and the 32nd to appear on any Billboard chart. He is the sixth Idol to show up on Hot Country Songs, following Kelly Clarkson, Josh Gracin, Carrie Underwood, Kellie Pickler and Bucky Covington.

If Stacey's single is the next song by an "Idol" to go to No. 1, it will be the 168th chart-topper for the franchise. Meanwhile, Stacey's breakthrough to the Billboard charts doesn't change the standing of season six among the other years of the series, but this past season is still too new to compete with the first five years in terms of how many Idols have become chart-worthy after competing on the show. Here is an updated status report on which Idols have charted, season by season:

Season one: (five)
Kelly Clarkson
Justin Guarini
Tamyra Gray
R.J. Helton
Jim Verraros

Season two: (four)
Ruben Studdard
Clay Aiken
Kimberley Locke
Josh Gracin

Season three: (seven)
Fantasia
Diana DeGarmo
Jasmine Trias
LaToya London
George Huff
John Stevens
Jennifer Hudson

Season four: (four)
Carrie Underwood
Bo Bice
Constantine Maroulis
Mario Vazquez

Season five: (eight)
Taylor Hicks
Katharine McPhee
Elliot Yamin
Chris Daughtry
Paris Bennett
Kellie Pickler
Bucky Covington
Mandisa

Season six: (three)
Jordin Sparks
Blake Lewis
Phil Stacey

That adds up to 31, but the total rises to 32 when you add in non-finalist William Hung, who went to No. 1 on Top Independent Albums with his debut CD.
