Thanks for posting. It’s interesting to see how all the Idols are doing.
Forgive my ignorance but have Clay and/or Ruben ever been very high on the charts? Both season 2 right?
Yes, both are from season 2. Ruben and Clay were 1st and 2nd respectively.
Ruben had a number 1 song on Urban AC earlier this year called “Change Me”. “Make Me Feel Beautiful” went to number 6 on UAC as well. Both are from his most recent CD. He’s had a number of songs that have charted on AC as well.
Clay’s latest CD has had a few songs chart on AC and I think “Invisible” was his biggest airplay hit song (from his first album)
I wasn’t tracking airplay back then. Perhaps others know these numbers.
I posted this same info earlier this year, but here it goes again, from Mediabase:

Hey Nevada -
What I was wondering is how high Clay and Ruben got on the charts. I’m guessing that judging by spins not all that high since these spins posted are over a 4 1/2 year period and they were on AI2. Just curious.
