http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1765 Next up: the Clay Aiken CD, entitled Clay Aiken, which will be released on October 14. Presales of this album on Amazon.com continue to rank in the site's top 20. Following on November 11 will be Ruben Studdard's Soulful, which is not currently ranked among Amazon.com's top 300 -- but which released its cover art this week, while the cover art for Clay's album remains in development. The absence of Clay's cover art is very interesting, as it indicates to us that the decision to release Clay's album first wasn't merely motivated by the fact that it was ready first, as Ruben claimed. Also, BMG issued promotional material for the upcoming Clay and Ruben albums this week featuring the Soulful cover art for Ruben but using the cover picture from the single for Clay. For Ruben, the promo posters read "Your American Idol"; for Clay, they read "Was He Your American Idol?" (the same tag line used for the single). We're glad we weren't the person given the task of repositioning the Clay Aiken CD package from a secondary to a featured release; it looks like he or she still has a lot of work to do and not much time to do it. posted by Yee 5:55 PM . . .
