I wish more stations would give this song a chance, its such a good song. She should have just performed it on Idol...but clearly, that's not happening. That would surely give it the platform to become a hit here, at least.

Performing it on Idol would only have so much impact.

That would surely give it the platform to become a hit here, at least. I don't think she or Island is that invested in this song. She was probably saving her performance opportunity for an actual single from her album. It could still happen for the finale if they get the single out very soon I suppose.

Seventh greatest gainer.
"Almost Home" moves up to #23 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, surpassing the peak of her last soundtrack single ("Right To Dream").

The station spinning it most (24 plays) is a Sirius station, so no audience numbers for that one.
Seven stations that started spinning it in the past week have played it three or more times, with KBEE-FM in Salt Lake City leading (18 spins).

Wow good audience update. Sirius/XM airplay doesn't count on mediabase does it?

Of up-and-coming entries below it, Rod Stewart's single, at No. 24, has a slightly larger week-to-week gain (+123).

This just might become an AC hit. (Hello, HAC and UAC, give it some love, too) A very nice update for a Sunday.
If there is no album/single ready yet, can't she just throw us a little bit of promo for this?!

^As her contract probably prohibits performances on other programs during the Idol season, that only leaves performing on Idol. And it's a bit late for that. While AH is gaining at AC, it hasn't done much of anything in sales. I did think this would fare better overall than "Triumphant," but that's the way of the charts world.

Being that Urban and Rhythmic radio are the most loyal to Mariah at this point, I don't really think it's surprising this fared worse than "Triumphant" considering it's so pop (and of course was only sent to AC radio).

^True, but with the movie tie-in (despite it not showing up until mid-end-credits), I thought it would have a stronger sales showing than "Triumphant" (it debuted with fewer sales, though not sure where the to-date tally stands).

AC isnt like it used to be.. its changed and is more CHR/HOT AC driven. hard for ac artists to get hits on AC anymore. also as far as idol goes..... its all girls, so mariah def needs to perform on the finale with them and do a huge uptempo Mariah medley! (someday, emotions, dreamlover, fantasy, heartbreaker) would be good for mariah and a really cool performance!

I had a feeling this surge was a fluke. Unless the major AC stations get on board, this will probably just linger around for a bit.

I feel like they missed the boat with this single. I've played it for a few people who instantly liked it. Two of them buying it immeditely. My good friend who is usually only here for her uptempos added it to her IPod after the 1st listen. I know that's only 5 or 6 people but I think if this song was heard it would have helped out Mariah alot. Even though I love Mariah's new music "Almost Home" is kind of Old meets New Mariah and I think her casual fans waould have Loved it.

Well, she did release a video for it- and we know how used YouTube/Vevo is. And it was played during an Idol segment.
Sometimes lack of airplay doesn't hinder sales (at least for a period of time), but this one just didn't generate a ton of interest, out of the gate or thereafter.

#Beautful probably isn't an AC release, so Number-Sign/HashtagAHIsn'tGoingAnywhereAtTheMoment. (Can I get some eggs with that hash?) Didn't post an update from yesterday, but here's the latest info: 24 25 MARIAH CAREY Almost Home 273 256 17 0.617

I don't get the deal with the AC format. You'd think "Almost Home" would've been a sizable hit there; I mean it's pop-leaning, it's a theme song to a movie, Mariah has had quite a lot of AC hits in the past... ??? Even "Oh Santa!" hit #1 at the AC charts.
