The revamped "American Idol" isn't wasting any time capitalizing on its newfound popularity.
Directly following Thursday night's episode, a compilation featuring studio versions of songs performed by the top 13 contestants on Thursday's show will go on sale exclusively on the iTunes Store. The compilation will sell for $7.99, and consumers will have the option of purchasing individual songs.
The top 13 contestants recorded the studio versions with the guidance of a team assembled by Interscope-Geffen-A&M chairman Jimmy Iovine, who signed on as a mentor for "Idol" this season. Established producers Rock Mafia, Don Was and "Tricky" Stewart are among those who contributed to the project's production.
The compilation will include renditions of Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed," performed by James Durbin, and the Beatles' "With a Little Help From My Friends," as performed by Casey Abrams.
