Clay saves the music industry (maybe)
I'm not sure anyone will take this news as evidence that the music industry is finally in recovery but American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken's ridiculous 1st week sales for his debut album Measure of a Man just about guarantees that we'll be subjected to American Idol contests every year until we are all pulling social security checks.
For the haters who say "but how will his next album do?" I would guess that Simon Fuller, head of 19, the company that created and produced American Idol, and Clive Davis, head of RCA records, the label which released Clay's album, likely won't care one way or another. One thing's for sure though, I wouldn't wanna be in actual Idol winner Ruben Studdard's shoes right now...
