To celebrate American Idol†s tenth season -- which isn†t quite the same as its tenth year despite the suggestion of the title 10th Anniversary: The Hits, Vol. 1 -- RCA issued this 12-track compilation in the spring of 2011. The idea is to round up the biggest post-show hits from the winners and runners-up, often ignoring the first hits from a singer in favor of the tunes that became new millennium standards, like Kelly Clarkson†s "†Since U Been Gone,†" Carrie Underwood†s "†Before He Cheats,†" and DAUGHTRY†s "†Home.†" Of course, the compilers are sometimes stuck with singers who have bigger names than hits, so they opt for covers -- Ruben Studdard is represented by "†Superstar,†" Taylor Hicks by "†Takin† It to the Streets†" -- or songs that nobody quite knows, like David Cook†s "†Light On.†" That means this isn†t wall-to-wall hits, yet the compilation gives a good indication of the fate of the Idol winners: some are stars, some are forgotten, some are pop culture curiosities, and only a handful cut singles that transcended the boundaries of the show.
Condition: New! Drilled case.
