  In summer 2003, Clay Aiken won the hearts and minds of the American public with his improbable run through American Idol. Despite his second-place finish, to Ruben Studdard, Rolling Stone put Clay on the cover and was rewarded with one of its top-selling issues of 2003. Fans of Studdard weren't so happy and campaigned for their man to get a cover of his own. Three issues later, we caved in and were rewarded with one of our worst-sellers of the year.
