Wow.

I knew the alumni were talented, but I think this is pretty impressive. Kelly leads the pack with 79 number 1s!

Impressive, indeed.

[Kariann1]

WOW!  If a young person is talented, then American Idol is the first show to go for.  That is an impressive number! 

[AIMOD-Maria]

Idol attracts amazing talent.

This show still continues to have an amazing pull as the gateway that thousands see as their escape from their present day lives and a ticket to a better life for themselves and their families and is to be commended for giving a lot of young people that shot at an opportunity even if very few of them get to realize the dream...

Wow, 359 #1s! That is a lot.

Wow, I'm thrilled for American Idol... Great job. We all knew we watched this show because it was the best, this just goes to show how right we were...

I thought it was interesting to read the list of which Idols have the most #1s. I didn't know some of those Idol alums had so many #1s!
