'Idol' runner-up already a best-seller

NEW YORK, May 31 (UPI) -- "American Idol" runner-up Bo Bice is on top of the Barnes & Noble best-seller list with pre-release orders for his upcoming CD.

Last week, Bice lost out to country singer Carrie Underwood in the show's season finale, but she ranked only 16th on the chain's list.

Bice's CD won't be available until late July and will include the songs "Inside Your Heaven" and "Vehicle," the New York Post reported.

Underwood's single includes "Inside Your Heaven" and "Independence Day."

The Idols' "Showstoppers" CD, meanwhile, is also a hit, ranked No. 10.
