RALEIGH -- Clay Aiken's first single hit physical and virtual shelves across the country Tuesday.

The "A" side cut is the "American Idol" runner-up and Raleigh native's cover of "Bridge Over Troubled Waters." The flip-side is a new song called "This Is The Night."

The single was the top seller on Amazon.com Tuesday morning. The album was outselling the recently released single by Ruben Studdard, who beat Aiken in "Idol's" final round. Studdard's single was the site's ninth-most requested album of the day.

Employees at the Turtles Music Store on Capital Boulevard in Raleigh claim their store carries more of Aiken's albums than any other local store. With 600 CDs, the employees guess that their stock will run out by the end of the week.

Aiken's album will only be available through a limited release. Once the stock from this release has been sold, no additional albums are slated for production.
