and this list does not include the obvious places such as ET and The Insider.
This was posted at the CH by Berkeley.
It's a compendium of all the places you can go on the internet to support Clay's new CD.
I hope everyone will give hits to these sites, and show their support.
Thanks to Berkeley for her permission to post this!
P.S. All the links below are HOT LINKS, even tho' they show up in black.
No theater and stage door reports today, so I was forced to find something else to do.
Anything new at the OFC? Bwah, I cracked myself up...
I know --- internet hits! Viral media! More Claaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!1!!1
To facilitate a day of hitting "replay" and watching all the online media for Clay (if possible, watch the downloaded clack later --- it ain't going nowhere), how about a few links all gathered together?
I'm providing the "long" links, so to speak, instead of the ones that take you directly to the videos. That way, watching the Clay media is a choice made, among the other features the sites have to offer. They notice that, y'all.
I think this is new. The AOL Music Page now includes "On My Way Here" under New Music --- just scroll down and you'll find it on the left-hand side.
OMWH is still at Popeater, but it's no longer under "Most Commented" since it's been seven days since the premiere. Find it by clicking on "Song Premieres" under "Features" in the left-hand column.
Right now, Clay is the headline at Broadwayworld.com, where the "Spamalot" webisode is crystal clear and BIG. One click will get you to the article and the video. You can also click on his picture in the rotating banner on the right-hand side of the homepage that says "Click to watch Broadwayworld TV" to get there. And here's a third choice: from the left column on the homepage, click on "TV and Video" under the Multimedia heading --- right now he's first under "Most Recent", but down the list at #17 under "Most Popular." Watch and see if the webisode moves up the list.
Don't forget to search for Clay on Yahoo or Google to find that link to Gupta Media: they have the first two webisodes, OMHW streams and you can play the word game.
The "Producers" webisode is at AOL: search for Clay and you'll find it under his videos. They also have code to embed it in your website or blog. Kinda fun to look at some of the old stuff --- boy, those Sessions were good.
Give a hit to mp3.com, where the "Creating the Album" webisode is currently featured on the homepage.
Have you joined Clay Aiken's mob, right now the fourth largest? (BWAH, check out my avi --- then send me tuition.) Visit Mozes.com/clayaiken --- and join me in leaving a ridiculously fangirly message. Plus --- Clay will phone you and send you sooper sekrit text messages!
Don't forget to listen to OMWH at Clay's MySpace... it just passed 15,000 listens.
And hey! it loops at clayaiken.com, so you can avoid finger cramps from hitting "repeat."
Finally, search for Clay on your local Clear Channel site, some of which are included in moonhead's Mediabase list from the last CD: lots of his stuff is in their vaults. Hmm... might be a good time for hits to prod KBIG and KIOI into adding the new single for me!
Edited to add NEW video from the handprint ceremony under "On the Scene: Spamalot's Clay Aiken Cement Broadway Idol Status at Planet Hollywood" at Broadway.com.

Clay Aiken to Release Brand-New Album, On My Way Here, on May 6th, 2008
EAGERLY AWAITED COLLECTION IS THE POP SUPERSTAR'S FIRST ALBUM OF ORIGINAL
SONGS SINCE 2003
NEW YORK, April 4, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Multi-platinum selling pop
singer Clay Aiken will release his fourth album, On My Way Here, on RCA
Records/19 Entertainment on May 6th, 2008. The collection is the
29-year-old Raleigh, NC, native's first album of original songs since his
2003 chart-topping, double- platinum debut Measure of a Man.
On My Way Here chronicles Aiken's experiences over the past five years,
ascending from popular contestant on the second season of American Idol to
pop superstar. The album's theme came to Aiken when he and his executive
producer Jaymes Foster fell in love with a song written by OneRepublic
frontman Ryan Tedder called "On My Way Here." The message of the lyrics --
how the lessons we learn while growing up shape us into who we become as
adults -- struck a very deep chord with the artist. The title track "On My
Way Here" will be the first radio single from the album to be released
later this month. Additionally the single, "On My Way Here" will premiere
as an "AOL First Listen" on Monday, April 7th.
"I thought if we could find songs that relate to what's gone on in my
life over the past five years and address what I've learned from my
experiences, it would be a great concept for my album," Aiken says. "Since
I got into this business, I've learned so much about myself. I think this
album covers how far I've come, personally and professionally."
The chance to record new material was an opportunity Aiken didn't want
to miss. His previous two albums, 2004's Merry Christmas with Love (which
went platinum within six weeks of its release) and 2006's gold-certified A
Thousand Different Ways, featured 10 cover versions of well-known songs
popularized by Celine Dion, Elton John, and Dolly Parton. Aiken's vocal
performances on songs like "As Long as We're Here," about not waiting until
it's too late to tell someone you love them, and "The Real Me," about being
in the public eye, resonate with the kind of emotion that can only come
from someone who's experienced this firsthand. "Although," Aiken says, "it
was important to me that the songs be interpretable in all kinds of ways.
People should be able to find their own meaning in the lyrics."
On My Way Here will be released just as Aiken finishes up his Broadway
run playing Sir Robin in the Tony Award-winning musical Monty Python's
Spamalot. Since January, Aiken has spent his days in the recording studio
with On My Way Here's Grammy Award-winning British producer Kipper (Sting,
Chris Botti), and his nights onstage in Spamalot. "I guess I'm a glutton
for punishment," he says with a laugh.
