American Idol’s Kellie Pickler launched her self-titled album yesterday. The album rocketed in sales to become #9 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart.
Kellie Pickler is our second proof point that reality television is becoming one of the most influential launching pads for new artists.
Prior to Pickler, Idol winner Jennifer Hudson proved the same concept when she debuted her album at #2.
She doesn't have those concerns with her new self-titled sophomore effort - an album that is arguably the introduction to the real Kellie Pickler. The 22-year-old picked the producer, the songs, and even the cover art of the CD, released this week. She also co-wrote half the 10 tracks.
"It's so good to finally say 'Here I am! This is the real me, the real deal,' " said Pickler, who wore a dark T-shirt and capris while curled up on a couch with her shoes off in her record label office.
