12/6:Taylor track list/Daughtry stays at #2
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Daughtry sales dropped 50% in week two but he stayed as the runner up, this time to the new Incubus, according to Hits Daily Double. So he’s up to 450K in sales, already more than Clay’s latest and triple Ruben’s total. And his single “It’s Not Over” technically hits radio stations today. If it becomes a hit, he should easily cruise to platinum, only the second non-winner to reach that pinnacle. Only Bo Bice, Josh Gracin and Clay Aiken have outsold him among non winners and he’s on pace to surpass Josh in a couple of weeks and Bo within a month.
Here’s info from billboard about Taylor’s CD, out Dec. 12:
The silver-haired Alabama native will be putting his own spin on Smokey Robinson classic “Ain’t That Peculiar,” originally performed by Marvin Gaye. “Wherever I Lay My Hat,” written by Gaye, and “Dream Myself Awake,” by Thomas, are also included. The Adams/Jim Vallance-penned “The Right Place” was originally written for Ray Charles to perform shortly before his death.
“Soul Thing” and “The Deal” were both written by Hicks and released on his second independent album “Under the Radar” before he auditioned for the popular television show.
It’s ranked at #17 on Amazon as of the moment I checked. It’s priced aggressively at $9.72.
Here’s the track list:
“Runaround
“Dream Myself Awake”
“Heaven Knows”
“Gonna Move”
“Wherever I Lay My Hat”
“Give Me Tonight”
“Just To Feel That Way”
“The Maze”
“Places I’ve Been”
“Soul Thing”
“The Deal”
“The Right Place
