Clay Aiken loses record deal
Season two American Idol contestant Clay Aiken and his record company RCA Records have broken up.
According to Billboard, Aiken and the record lable went their separate ways after his latest album “On My Way There” only sold 159,000 copies since it was released in May 2008.
Aiken placed second during season two of American Idol. He lost to Ruben Studdard.
Placing second on the popular talent show doesn’t necesarily translate into success.
Justin Guarini placed second on season one, Katherine McPhee placed second on season five, Blake Lewis placed second on season six, Bo Bice placed second on season four, Taylor Hicks placed first on season five and Ruben Studdard won season two.
Yet, all of them eventually lost their record deals.
