So who would you think is the most popular American Idol from last year’s season 5? And how would you find that out? Probably one of the easiest ways to tell, is to find out how many people are searching on their name.

Through the keyword search tool over at Yahoo Search Marketing you can see how many people are searching on a specific keyword in the previous month. Now these results are for February 2007, results aren’t ready for March yet, but guess who’s in the lead for the previous month? That would be our man Elliott Yamin by a good margin.

These results don’t cover the entire search spectrum because they are only from Yahoo’s network of sites and don’t include Google numbers which would increase things by about 2.5 to 3 times. But at least you get some idea of who is the most popular American Idol from season 5.

The results are below in order:

Elliott Yamin – 114,167 searches – This is probably due to Elliott’s impending release of his first album.
Katharine McPhee – 86,001 searches – I thought Kellie Pickler would be more popular than Kat.
Kellie Pickler – 78,681 searches
Chris Daughtry – 39,851 searches – Chris is still at number 4 on Billboard’s top 100 albums
Taylor Hicks – 21,710 searches – Wow, I’m a little surprised here that the winner last year places at #4
Bucky Covington – 15,969 searches
Ace Young – 5,919 searches
Paris Bennett – 4,618 searches – I really liked Paris, but I don’t think she ever got a fair shake from the judges.
Lisa Tucker – 1,227 searches
Kevin Covais – 975 searches – Remember Chicken Little? He was the underdog but didn’t have quite the popularity that underdog Sanjaya Malakar has.
Melissa McGhee – 852 searches
Mandisa – 224 searches – I’m surprised that Mandisa is last. I thought she had a great voice and was quite a bit better than Melissa.

Of course these results will drastically change for March search results. If you remember Kellie Pickler’s appearance at this year’s Idol when she showed up with enhanced breasts. Thousands of searchers were looking for Kellie after that.

Elliott Yamin fans are certainly rejoicing today as the man with the golden voice has finally released his long awaited album.

Since officially being announced back in late January Elliott’s fans have been looking forward to this moment. Well, it’s finally here!

It remains to be seen how well Elliott’s album will do as he does have quite a lineup of American Idol stars to compete with. Chris Daughtry’s album Daughtry has sold over 1 million copies in its short time out making it the fastest selling rock album of all time. Taylor Hicks album has sold over 600,000 copies and Kellie Pickler’s album Small Town Girl has sold more than 450,000 copies.

So if you are an Elliott Yamin fan it’s time to get it in gear and get his album so he can make his mark on the recording industry. You can order Elliott Yamin right here.

Elliott Yamin fans are eagerly awaiting the release of his new self titled album just 2 days from now on March 20th. His album has been one of the most anticipated album releases of last year’s group of the top 12 American Idol finalists. Elliott’s fans have been waiting in anticipation since he announced the new album in late January. To give his fans a taste of the new album, Elliott released Movin On as a single available for digital download on February 13th.

Elliott Yamin has a solid fan base as experienced here on American Idol News in that every time news comes out about Elliott, his fan quickly leave comments on each post. This makes one think that his album should sell quickly and in high numbers.

American Idol fans probably wish there was someone like Elliott Yamin on this season’s show. So far for the guys they have completely disappointed fans and have put in lackluster performances. Not one of them can muster the rich vocals of our boy Elliott and it kind of make you wonder what the judges were thinking when they chose the top 24. I don’t know how Sanjaya Malakar slipped by and now ended up in the top 12. With the possible exception of Chris Sligh the rest of this season’s American Idol guys don’t hold a candle to Elliott Yamin. Where has the talent gone?

If you want to hear samples of Elliott’s songs you can check them out over at Amazon.com. The list of song titles for Elliott’s album are listed below:

1. Movin On
2. Wait For You
3. Find a Way
4. One Word
5. You Are the One
6. I’m the Man
7. Trainwreck
8. Free
9. Alright
10. Take My Breath Away
11. A Song For You
