Then Carrie, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin, Lee, David C and Kris.
Adam, Chris D and Jennifer are the only non-winners on there.”

Thank you both
I watched some of Idol this weekend as missed the start of both shows, and spotted Adam in the credits. Nice that Idol have recognised him and Jennifer and Daughtry as well as the winners.

It looks like quite a nice little deal for him. And us, as I assume his album would be released Internationally and in the U.S. at the same time, and we could actually buy it online (Amazon, HMV) or instore without having to buy it from AO website?
And with Adam wanting to write more for the 2nd album, he would also get more royalties from songwriting credits and publishing rights and copyright ownership, from what I gather about the deal.
Someone over on mj's posted some background info on Kobalt:
Quote:
“Kobalt is a leading independent music publisher offering unparalleled online global administration of copyrights, pipeline advances and creative services to songwriters and publishers. Our unique, transparent systems were designed to better service the rights owner. Kobalt takes the guesswork out of complex global royalty collections and reporting, and enables clients to get more money more quickly, as well as access to flexible and accurate information.”
This explains what an “admin” deal is:
Quote:
“An administrative agreement takes place between a songwriter/publisher and an independent administrator, or between a writer/publisher and another music publisher. In an “admin deal,” the songwriter self-publishes and merely licenses songs to the music publisher for a term of years and for an agreed royalty split. Under this agreement, the music publisher simply administers and exploits the copyrights for another publisher/copyright owner. Only the most popular song writers can even consider asking for an admin deal. Under this coveted arrangement, ownership of the copyright is usually not transferred to the administrator. Instead, the music publisher gets 10-20% of the gross royalties received from administering and exploiting the songs for a certain period of time and for a certain territory.”
