Tidbits 12/23

  • Meghan Mullally's website now has a clip of Clay singing a duet with her on Friday's Meghan Mullally Show.
  • More Clay/Ripa/O'Donnell/Trump stuff.... *sigh*, when will the media give this a rest?
  • Arizona Republic - radio stations stick to old holiday classics, but do often add new covers -
    Most of the stations that go holiday this time of year tend to have adult contemporary formats, playing established artists to a sonically conservative, older audience, says Geoff Mayfield, director of charts at Billboard magazine. This is why songs from quirky albums such as Twisted Sister's Twisted Christmas will rarely hit the airwaves, but new songs and especially updated covers by familiar artists such as Wynona, James Taylor and Clay Aiken will get added.
  • A few more Christmas tour mentions:

  • USA Today Idol blog - ATDW numbers:
    124-119 Clay (19,000; 460,000 total): There probably were inflated expectations with Clay, thanks to his formidable track record. He's seeing only a modest holiday-season boost (he's up about 4,000 this week), but it would be hard to detect much evidence of a label marketing push on the record. This subject has been exhaustively discussed in comments; fans just to have hope for a different sort of record next time, and definitely a different level of support.
