Taylor Hicks may have won "American Idol," but he doesn't have his record deal anymore. The soul singer, who claimed the "Idol" title in 2006, has apparently been dropped by J Records, a label within Sony-BMG.
The Backstreet Boys have been rumored to be in the process of being dropped by their record label, Jive, following two album flops in a row. Maybe it's time they move on anyway?
Another American Idol, Ruben Studdard, who released three albums for J Records since 2003 (the latest, 2006's The Return, to modest sales), has been dropped from the label as well.
