Because social networking sites will reveal how many friends, fans or followers a contestant has, they will provide at least a partial glimpse into the relative popularity of the contestants.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Idol&#8221; has historically been proactive in blind-folding viewers to that glimpse.  iTunes downloads of the performance singles, for instance, are not included in the music store&#8217;s sales charts to prevent individuals from knowing which contestants are garnering the largest and most passionate followings.<\/p>\n<p>The relevant websites are
