Adam Lambert still leads the American Idol Top 9 in chatter by a large margin. Interestingly, Anoop has a commanding hold on 2nd place this week. The table below displays a ranking by web chatter — including blogs, news feeds, chat rooms, forums, social networks and Twitter posts throughout the week.

If Web chatter is any indication, Adam Lambert is running away with American Idol season 8. Paula Abdul’s early prediction to reach the finals has nearly twice as much chatter as any other contestant. Two weeks into the season, here’s how the Top 10 stack up: 

1. Adam Lambert
2. Lil Rounds
3. Anoop Desai
4. Danny Gokey
5. Matt Giraud
6. Scott MacIntyre
7. Megan Joy
8. Kris Allen
9. Michael Sarver
10. Allison Iraheta

This will be an interesting chart to monitor over the next 9 weeks. Will Allison be the next to go? Can Web chatter predict the American Idol winner?
