Kris Allen Latest 'Idol' Winner to Part With RCA
by Shirley Halperin, The Hollywood Reporter | September 20, 2012 8:55 EDT

"American Idol" season eight winner Kris Allen is no longer with RCA Records,
a label rep confirms to The Hollywood Reporter.

Signed to the Sony Music subsidiary immediately after his 2009 victory over
runner-up Adam Lambert, Allen released his self-titled debut album in
November of that year. Moving over 80,000 units its first week out, it
charted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and, buoyed by the single "Live Like
We're Dying," went on to sell over 346,000 copies.

His follow-up, "Thank You Camellia," was released in May 2012 and debuted at
No. 26 on the album chart with first-week sales of 15,622, according to
Nielsen SoundScan. Although the first single, "The Vision of Love," failed to
gain momentum, Allen maintained visibility via his creative use of cover
songs.

In September, Allen revealed that he and 19 Entertainment had parted ways and
he signed with new management, Pearl Group Entertainment, which counts Chris
Daughtry as a client. In fact, Daughtry remains among a small group of Idols
still signed to RCA Records and other Sony labels. They include season one's
Kelly Clarkson, season four's Carrie Underwood, season six's Jordin Sparks
and season eight's Lambert.

Season seven's David Cook and season nine's Lee DeWyze were dropped from the
RCA roster in May 2012 and October 2011, respectively.

Addressing his fans on the split, Allen would later say: "I wanted to let
everyone know that RCA and I have decided to split ways. I thank them so much
for everything that they did for me. There are so many people there that
contributed to my becoming the artist that I am and I will miss them all. In
saying that, I am really excited about what is ahead. The path has never
been clearer to me. I love what I do and I will never stop. So, to my amazing
fans, thank you so much for everything so far but things are only gonna get
more fun. I promise."
