Caleb Johnson lands at #162 on iTunes, to release debut album this Summer

Newly crowned American Idol Caleb Johnson landed at #162 on the iTunes Top 200 Chart with his winner's single 'As Long As You Love Me' overnight.

This is Caleb's first time to make it in the Top 200 all season, so the post-championship glow is working somewhat for the iTunes-sales challenged rocker.

His album which is self-titled will come out on August 12, 2014. Hopefully it doesn't experience the frustration-inducing delays that plagued the last winner of Idol, Candice Glover's debut album.
