Lycos50 - Clay is #2 on Lycos top 50 for this week! that is up one from last week's #3 spot! The caption under his name says, "Continues work helping kids in Kenya and Somalia". I find it amazing and awesome that Clay even beat out the extremely popular movie, "The Dark Knight", which comes in at #5 on the list. Just another advantage of being one of King Arthur's knights! (*grin*)
EOnline - In an article about the Top 100 turning the big 5-0, Clay is mentioned as follows:
Taylor Hicks' "Do I Make You Proud" claims the dubious distinction of being the only No. 1 song to spend less than 10 total weeks on the Hot 100. The 2006 song debuted at No. 1, a feat accomplished by fellow American Idol stars Carrie Underwood, Fantasia and Clay Aiken and by no one else in nearly a decade.
Clay is on the Yahoo Music Live homepage. At the top is a banner with a picture of Ruben and the caption, "In the studio-Ruben Studdard". Clay's picture is under that in the left column, and it says, "We brought Ruben into our studio, so its only fair that Clay get a shot in the Y! spotlight, right? Watch now and enjoy the rematch." A link to an exclusive interview and a performance of "Without You" is under the caption.
Its hard to believe that its been a year, but one year ago today, September 19, 2006, Clay was on Good Morning America to sing Without You and A Thousand Days. Hundreds of loyal fans showed up for the performance...thousands would love to have been there. The memory of that day lives on, not just in our minds but also on video and in photos, beautiful pictures of Clay and "sung to perfection" songs from ATDW. Thank goodness for modern technology!!
To join in these remembrances, here are some great photos from GMA, as well as YouTube videos of snarky Clay's pre-airtime antics (Clay, smile!!) and performances of Without You and A Thousand Days. You can also download A Thousand Days from Clack Unlimited. And Clay, as always, thanks for the memories!!

Sony BMG Canada recently released a new compilation CD of 21 love songs called You're Beautiful. The CD is now available at all major CD retailers in Canada (buy from Amazon.ca) and is also available as an import to our American friends at Amazon.com. Clay's "Without You" is track #12.
And finally, Clay sold another 1,400 copies, enough to put him over the 500,000 mark (500,400, rounded off). Congratulations are in order to him and his fan base, considering he did not have any big radio impact this time.
And Barnes is right...no radio play, little promotion. Clay's CD is top notch and his fans are always there for him, supporting him because they know that he is a class act and his voice is the best out there. CONGRATULATIONS Clay on reaching over 500,000 in sales.
One other Clay mention in this same article has to do with one of the Idol girl's trying out for AI6. She sang "Without You". I heard it and didn't think she did that great of a job. Ken must have heard the same thing. He said, "Alaina Alexander sounds dreadful on her clip of Without You. If Clay's watching, he must be cringing. Bad judgment on the part of the judges, unless they heard something we weren't permitted to. Yikes." Yep, gotta agree with him.
