Have you ever visited this site?  It is a great place to visit, especially during the holiday season.  The site keeps track of radio spins for artists.  It is really fun to see Clay getting hundreds of radio spins during the holiday season.  Why not stop by.  Everyone there is friendly and will help you add your positive feedback on the songs.  Go right to Clay’s page…YES.COM
85th ANNIVERSARY – MACY’S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
On Thanksgiving evening, NBC ran a special about the 85 years of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.  At the very end, they  showed a montage of guests set to Clay Aiken singing Silver Bells.  They first showed Clay singing in the parade and then kept his voice as the background music for the rest of the montage.  It was a surprise and fun to see!  The following is a video of what was shown.
