It”s hard to believe, but the we”ve had ten years of American Idol now in the U.S.; to celebrate, 19 Recordings/RCA is releasing a greatest hits set of “signature songs” from its winners and finalists.
Chart-topping artists like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry all made the cut. Some songs included were performed on the show, during competition – like Taylor Hicks” “Takin” It to the Street” – while others, like Adam Lambert”s “Whataya Want From Me” were culled from sets released post-“Idol.”
There also may be some omissions that will rattles some AI fans, like the lack of David Archuleta, Bo Bice and Crystal Bowersox. But just because this is the first set of hits doesn”t mean it”ll be the last…
