Following Lee DeWyze's lead, American Idol's Crystal Bowersox has parted ways with her label. The season 9 runner-up was signed to Sony Music's Jive Records (the label's moniker was recently retired by RCA Records, which absorbed most of the company’s roster, including season 8 winner Kris Allen) and released her debut album, Farmer’s Daughter, in December 2010. It has sold more than 205,000 copies.
