It's the newest AI7 scandal! A popular American Idol contestant is selling downloads of a CD he made before he was on the show! Unheard of!

I guess previous contestants were able to keep their work "under the radar", as it were.

But if you want to preview and download David Cook's songs from his 2006 release "Analog Heart", use this link and benefit NESP:

David Cook's Analog Heart

[edited to add] Although the link still works, now the MP3s are "Not Available". Sad

And rumor has it that he sold more downloads last week than Ms. Mariah Carey...

David's MP3s are now "Not Available" on Amazon.

Could it be that TPTB had the album pulled, because David’s CD was showing up on the Amazon rankings? Or that other media outlets were beginning to pick up the story? It’s not clear how many copies have been sold, but Amazon mp3 downloads only make up 2% of the total paid downloads in the US market. Hardly a “major” market, I’d say. Although Analog Heart was number #1, considering those stats, I can’t imagine it was burning up the sales charts. This CD has been available for awhile. If it violated the terms of his contract with AI, it would have been pulled months ago, one would think.

Meanwhile if you want to hear David Cook's pre-idol music, this fan site has streaming audio
http://www.davidcooktheamericanidol.com/music/

It's also a very entertaining fan site.

I guess I downloaded it just in time. Grin

I got an e-mail alert 2 days ago about David Cook on Amazon but didn't purchase anything.
