Lycos: "Clay Aiken, Web's Most Wanted Man" of 2006

Congratulations Clay! Lycos, in a press release issued today, revealed that Clay Aiken was their most sought for man (hee hee...) at their popular search engine, Lycos.com. The press release reads:

Clay Aiken takes over as the most-searched man of 2006, pushing the top man of 2005 Eminem to number three on this year's list. Aiken generated consistent search interest throughout the year, due in part to the release of a new album, and questions surrounding his sexuality, as well as his recent on-air run-in with Kelly Ripa while co-hosting "Regis and Kelly" last month.

Once again, congrats Clay! Let's kick 2007 off with a bang - search for Clay everyday at Lycos.com and check the Lycos50 every week to see Clay's chart position.

The Detroit Free Press has a small tidbit on this.

Lycos also released the leaders in specific categories, like the most-searched man of the year, Clay Aiken, who bumped 2005’s top dude, Detroit’s own Eminem, to third place. Aiken was a big attention-getter for several reasons, including his recent celebrity “feud” with Kelly Ripa, according to Lycos.
