‘American Idol’ season two runner-up Clay Aiken will be in the company of former President Bill Clinton as Clay’s book enters the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list at number two. Also, Clay’s new album ‘Merry Christmas With Love’ debuted on the December 4 Billboard 200 at number four, but dropped to 11 this week. Still, the debut “ties Celine Dion’s These Are Special Times as the highest-debuting holiday album of all time”. With her new single, ‘Since U Been Gone’ rising fast and hitting #1 on the TRL charts, ‘Idol’ season one champ Kelly Clarkson’s other hit song ‘Breakaway’ holds steady at #8 on the Billboard 100. On the other hand, ‘Idol’ champs Ruben Studdard and Fantasia Barrino arn’t having the same luck, seeing as Rubens 2nd disc, a gospel album titled, ‘I Need An Angel’ debuted at #20 and Fantasia’s debut album ‘Free Yourself’ landed at #8.
