Top songs edit

This is a list of songs that have charted on Billboard Hot 100 but does not include songs released during or soon after the final episode of American Idol of each contestant's season. Where a song has been certified gold but easily verifiable sales information is not available, the sales figure is provisionally assumed to be 500,000 or 100,000 as the case may be. The numbers may include physical single sales figures, however, it is rare for songs to be released as physical singles after 2006. A few songs were not released for sale and charted based on radio play only.

Note that the best-selling song by an American Idol alumnus is Phillip Phillips' "Home" which, being a coronation song, is listed in List of American Idol Hot 100 singles. Its sales stand at 5,400,000 as of December 2015.[9]
