Press Release Is Out For CD Release Parties

The press release with information about the CD Release parties being held around the United States and other countries hit the wires last night. One of the places I found it is at Yahoo.com, but no doubt many other sites will be including it on its news pages. The press release reads as follows:

Clay Aiken Fans Plan Worldwide CD Release Parties
Wednesday September 6, 3:00 am ET
Tower Records, WalMart and Virgin Among the Retailers Hosting

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6, 2006--Clay Aiken may have titled his new album A Thousand Different Ways for artistic reasons, but his fans want to propel him ONE way...and that's straight to the top of the charts.
The eagerly awaited CD goes on sale Tuesday, September 19th and will feature the hit single, "Without You." Participating stores will stay open late on the night of Monday, September 18th, allowing fans to buy Clay's CD at the stroke of midnight. Party activities will vary by store but will include music and raffles. Retailers nationwide include WalMart, Virgin Megastores, Barnes & Noble, Tower Records, Wherehouse Music and Borders, among others. To find a party by region, visit www.clayaikencdparties.com.

Clay's first CD, 2003's Measure of a Man achieved the highest first week sales for a debut solo artist in 10 years. The following year his second CD, Merry Christmas with Love smashed the Billboard record for highest first week sales for a holiday album. Last month, A Thousand Different Ways shot to #1 on Amazon.com just hours after pre-ordering began. The Clay Nation is eager to hear the CD as quickly as possible and will be holding CD release parties in 81 cities in North America.

The CD Release parties are a 100% fan based initiative and are not affiliated with Sony/BMG.

Clay Nation is noted as the source of the news release, and Cora Beth, who is our go between with RCA, is listed as the contact. With this news out about the parties, we hope to have lots of great PR and possibly more people come to the parties.

If you are interested in coming to a party near you, you can get information at the CD Release Party Planning Board. You will need to make a username and password, and then you just go to the state where you would like to attend, then the city. Come join us for a great time, meet some new Clay fans, and support Clay as we buy his CD at midnight on September 19!.
