Tidbits 10/26

Meghan's Quote of the Day
"I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up. But I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here."

-Clay Aiken

  • Jakarta, East Jakarta, Indonesia Blog - Great blog about "A Thousand Different Ways", all the way from Indonesia. Some of what she says is, "forgive me if this album makes me nostalgic about those years when the songs were good and the voices of the singers were amazing..."
  • Walmart.com - There is an item at Walmart.com's music section listed as by Clay Aiken called "All Is Well" and is labeled as an "exclusive album". Price is $4.84; Release Date is November 28, 2006. We don't know anything else about it or if is really to be released on November 28. Keep your eyes and ears open.
  • CDs 4 The Troops - Final total is at The Clayboard...2119!! WOW! Thank you Easterseal and RubyR43 for all your hard work, and to all those who donated CDs to be sent to our troops!
  • Disappointing numbers from Ruben Studdard in his sophomore album's opening week. A few Clay mentions:
  • CBS SportsLine - Clay Travis, a staff writer at CBS SportsLine tells us how he choose his column's new name - "ClayNation" -- " My buddy JT actually came up with the ClayNation column name. It was only after I chose the name that I found out this was also how some fans of Clay Aiken referred to themselves."
  • Futon Critic - Clay Aiken among November guests for Meghan Mullally Show.
  • Clay's photo was shown on ABC's Nightline last night during a segment on Nerds...
  • Clay was also mentioned during the opening monologue on The David Letterman Show last night. The CV's sweet carolina girl posted this recap: "Here's news from Hollywood. George Clooney was voted number one man, uh, as a man's man in an online poll -- number one in a man's man -- does that make any sense? (laughter) Number one man's man, that's right. George Clooney. I also was on the list. Yeah. (applause) Thank you. (cheers) I'm a little farther down. I'm right between Clay Aiken and Janet Reno. (laughter)"
  • South Jersey Courier-Post Impulse - uh...
    And of course, no trip to the dentist would be complete without the standard lecture on how the downfall of civility, international terrorism and the existence of Clay Aiken all stem from mankind's refusal to floss.
  • Ultimate Guitar - new Christmas CD "Heavy Metal Christmas" unlikely to attract Clay Aiken fans - "The people that will want to buy this album will likely be those fans who ate up “I Wanna Rock” and “Stay Hungry,” not those who just picked up Clay Aiken’s holiday CD."
  • Raleigh Chronicle - Mentions that "Clay Aiken still has strong sales for his new record called 'A Thousand Different Ways'" and also mentions his upcoming Christmas tour: "According to his website, Aiken will be performing with orchestras and symphonies for one-night only concerts where he will perform selections of Christmas songs, including those from his previous Christmas album released in 2004."
  • There Was A Man- some interesting Idol CD sales numbers.
  • USA Today music blog -
    There was a question a while back about Clay Aiken's download album sales (that's downloads of his entire album, not track downloads). That figure, which by the way is included in his overall sales tally by SoundScan, is 15,000. He sold 10,000 of those in his first week, which placed him No. 3 on the download album list. His overall updated stats are No. 52, down from 32 on the chart, after selling 16,000, down from 25,000 the previous week, for a total of 366,000.
  • USA Today Idol blog -
    Still, Ruben's first album sold 417,000 its first week and entered the chart at No. 1. This is a long way down. I wasn't expecting him to match Clay's first week (211,000), because Clay has outstripped him saleswise in the past and seems to have a larger and perhaps more passionate fan base. But Ruben's going to have to hope that continued airplay on his current single and future releases will stimulate sales, or he'll have a tough time hitting 250,000 total.

    Speaking of Clay, he dropped from No. 32 to 52 on the chart, selling 16,000, down from 25,000 the previous week, for a grand total of 366,000. In other words, more of the same pattern.
  • Kansas City Star music blog - ATDW sales mention.
