The gayest American Idol runner-up of all time (yes, even gayer than Clay Aiken) made history when this, his sophomore album, logged in at Number 1 on the Billboard charts upon its release. He is the first openly gay man to do such a thing. Here he collaborates with fellow songwriters Pharrell Williams, Bruno Mars, and others, and hits big with “Better Than I Know Myself” and the irresistible, pumping title song.
