Of course, this is not from an official announcement but was leaked via a <a href="https://twitter.com/keith_caulfield" target="_blank">tweet from someone</a> over at BillBoard:<br /><br /><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">2013 <a href="https://twitter.com/AmericanIdol">@AmericanIdol</a> winner Candice Glover has moved her debut album release from Oct. 8 to Feb. 18, 2014.<br />— Keith Caulfield (@keith_caulfield) <a href="https://twitter.com/keith_caulfield/statuses/384732711744585728">September 30, 2013</a></blockquote><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> This makes hers the latest winner's album to be released after a Spring American Idol run and the second latest release among all winners and runners up since Season 2 (Season 1 ran over a summer so it is a weird exception.) The only Idol winner or runner-up to release later the following year of the show was Jessica Sanchez when she released "Me, You & The Music" back in April 20, 2013 (and we all know how well that album sold!) Here is a list now of all the winners and runners up since Season 2 and the actual date of their releases (updated from <a href="http://aistats.blogspot.com/2012/11/american-idol-trivia-who-was-last.html" target="_blank">my own previous blog posting</a>):<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white;

Hopefully given more time they can actually find a good single for each of them and they can both have an album released in 2014 with some real promotion!<br /><br />I created a new graph of the release months for American Idol winners from Season 2 through Season 12. now with Candice's newest release date added. Of course, now that it has been delayed twice, the album may also simply vanish all together once 2014 arrives.<br /><br /><br /><br />
