| October 20, 2010 | iTunes Essentials The iTunes website added Clay to their 'essentials' files. His music is sorted into three categories: The Basics Next Steps Complete Set: combination of both above groups Both individual groups include songs across the spectrum of his albums, including both RCA & Decca releases. | Fd Recap | 2010 News | | | September 6, 2010 | 'Tried & True' International Sales & Charts A fan in Korea snapped pictures of the album well stocked on store shelves. "It's Impossible" was getting airplay on several Indonesian radio stations and showed up as high as #5 on area charts. | Fd Recap | | | | June 14, 2010 | As mentioned previously, 'Tried & true' opened with solid placements on several Billboard charts. Thanks to fan NY4Clay for the scans of the print edition of the magazine. These charts can be found in the issue dated June 19, 2010 which hit the news stands early that week. | FD Recap | | | | June 10, 2010 | June 10, 2010 First Week Reports: 'Tried & True' Considering the downturn in CD sales, a change of label & a 'new lane' among musical genres, Clay's new album did well in its first week of sales. 'Tried & True' ranked 9th on the 'Billboard Top 200 Albums' chart. That placement made Clay the first AI grad to place five of their albums in the Top 10! This new stage of Clay's career is off to a good start. The album ranked #2 among 'Internet Albums'. It also came in at #21 among 'Digital Albums'. | FD Recap | | | | December 31, 2009 | At year's end, Billboard did a comparison among the sales for debut CDs from all of American Idol's first & second place finishers. Clay still sits at the top of the heap. In accumulated sales to date for initial CDs from that same group of contestants, Clay's 'Measure of a Man' is second only to Carrie Underwood's "Some Hearts" album. In their look back at the decade from 2000 to 2009, Billboard ranked the Idol television show third among the 50 Top moments because of its continuing impact on both television rankings and music sales. Only the death of Michael Jackson & the iPod were ranked higher. | FD Recap | | | | December 11, 2009 | Decade-End Charts: Billboard magazine produces annual lists of the best sellers in a wide range of musical genres. Since 2009 is the end of a decade, they also produced the 'End of the Decade' lists for sales from 2000 through 2009. Clay appeared on six of those lists! Considering the number of albums released over the past ten years, that's a great accomplishment. Singles (Physical CDs. Downloads not included.) Singles Sales Artists: Clay Aiken # 7 Single Sales: This Is the Night/Bridge Over Troubled Water # 5 Albums: Holiday Albums: Merry Christmas With Love #10 Christian Albums: Merry Christmas With Love #12 Billboard 200 Artists: Clay Aiken #120 Billboard 200 Albums: Measure of a Man #170 | FD Recap | 2009 News | | | October 21, 2009 | On Oct. 21st, Amazon.com listed the 10 albums that had the highest number of pre-orders in its history. Clay's "A Thousand Different Ways" was #10 on that list. Back in January 2007 they had listed "Measure of a Man" as one of the Top 10 at that time. It was ahdea of ATDW which had been released the preceding September. The two lists contradict each other with regards to Clay's pre-orders. MoaM outsold ATDW by a huge margin, so the 2007 list seems to be more accurate with regard to his CDs. | fd recap | 2009 News | | | August 10, 2009 | On August 10/09, a notice was posted at the Official fan club stating that Clay had signed a recording deal with Decca records of the Universal group.
