Lee DeWyze dropped by RCA Records

Oh no! THR confirms that Lee DeWyze has been dropped by RCA Records. He is still managed by 19 Entertainment and is working on some projects.

RCA Records CEO Peter Edge said one of the reasons Idol albums don't do well is because they don't have the right songs. Who's next on the chopping block?

From THR:

He avoided elimination all through his American Idol run, but Season 9 winner Lee DeWyze has reached the end of the road at RCA Records.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last week, newly appointed RCA Records CEO Peter Edge confirmed that the 25-year-old DeWyze is no longer on the label. Under Sony Music CEO Doug Morris, who took the reigns in July, RCA has absorbed the rosters of Jive, Arista and J Records, all labels which have seen their share of Idols signings, both winners and runners up.

DeWyze continues to be managed by 19’s management arm and recently told THR that he was working on new music.
