J Records Drops Ruben Studdard

The former “American Idol” winner Ruben Studdard has been dropped from J Records according to a rep from the label.

His debut album Soulful, which was released in 2003, is certified platinum. His gospel follow up I Need An Angel, also did well and reached gold status. His latest album The Return however was met with lackluster sales, moving barely 235,000 units.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, he is set to play the Jazz pianist Fats Weller in a national theatre tour of Ain’t Misbehavin.
AWESOME

Studdard will be making a holiday appearance with his old band Just a Few Cats, at the WorkPlay soundstage this weekend in his hometown Birmingham, Alabama.
