It was reported that Kelly Clarkson’s entire new album was leaked last Friday onto the internet, a month before its official release. The culprit has been found out and surprisingly, it’s the people at iTunes Norway who are to blame. A glitch in their system allowed users to buy the album in its entirely and some of them decided to share their good fortune with the rest of the world wide web. I wonder if Apple has to pay up big bucks to Kelly and her record label for this mishap. What’s good about the album getting leaked though is that it’s good publicity with the fact that the album is really really good.

Season 7 of American Idol may have the most talented group since the inception of the show – though that’s what they always say every season – but it hasn’t helped with the ratings any. The ratings are so down that the show is finding some new ways to get the cash to roll in. In a first, FOX is partnering with iTunes to offer Idol fans the opportunity to download the performances, both in audio and video format, of all the contestants the days after the show airs. Here’s a bit of my mind for FOX: no one would buy into this ploy. This is what TiVo and YouTube are for.
