Congrats to Kelly Clarkson, who’s dethroned Taylor Swift as the reigning queen of the charts. Kelly’s latest album, All I Ever Wanted, sold 255,000 copies this week and landed her the top spot. Taylor’s slipped to the #5 spot, which is totally understandable, because she’s been at the top of the charts for the past geological era.
Meanwhile, Taylor Hicks, another Idol winner, sold a totally embarrassing 9,000 copies of his second album, The Distance. Tickets for his performance tonight at The Roxy have been reduced to zero dollars — that’s right, free — and the show still hasn’t sold out. Simon Cowell must be doing a happy dance right now. I have no idea how that guy won American Idol. It’s probably why they’re fixing the results now and allowing for a judge’s save. They want cash cows, not old gray-haired cows.
I LOVE her! She comes across as someone who is down to earth and funny. She really can sing.I also love the fact she’s not a size zero, she doesn’t starve herself.
YES! Go KELLY!!!!
Awwwww, poor Taylor Hicks! I always liked him, though I’ll admit I certainly haven’t been keeping up with his music since AI. I guess no one else has either. Sad!!
Did you know Taylor Hicks is only like 32? He’s been gray since he was 22! I saw this on Chelsea Lately the other night… Go Kelly!
i think going gray early is hereditary. my mother went gray early, my sister found her first gray hair when she was 25 or 26, and i started going gray by the time i was 21! of course, my sister and i have “rectified” that situation, but under the dye we are both salt & pepper!
Taylor Hicks isn’t a bad singer he just doesn’t doesn’t fit into the mass market music scene. He should have stuck with the blues type music he was doing pre-idol.
Kelly Clarkson is AWESOME! I feel bad for Taylor Hicks though…he was hilarious.
Thank god! I hate T. Swift. So was U2 only number 1 for 1 week or what?
