I've read that Clay's fans are buying 50 and 100 copies of his album at a time to ensure his debut at #1. Creepy.

looks like they wasted their money, then - he clearly would have been #1 without doing anything like that.

But since they did (I believe the piece was posted on Salon.com), I guess we'll never know, will we?

it sold over 600k, #2 sold under 200k. I don't think there are enough loonies buying extra copies to give it over 400k extra sales.

I watched some of the American Idol shit this year and I was kinda disappointed by both Clay and Ruben. They're both good singers but I really don't want to see either of them succeed. Clay grew so much thruought the competition but his style sucks...he's like a male Celine Dion, and all Ruben can do is sing slow jams which get kinda tired after while. They can both waste away doing gigs at small town county fairs 4 all I care. But seriously, Clay's album was REALLY anticipated! I'm not surprised he's number 1. Now let's just C how long he can keep it.
