Hi Bonnie,

Justin Guarini's debut studio album was originally slated to bow on Dec. 10. The RCA set has since been shifted to a later date, which has not been announced yet. In the meantime, his first single, "Foolish," will be released commercially on Dec. 23.

Two of Guarini's performances on the Fox talent competition series -- "For Once in My Life" and "Get Here" -- appear on RCA's "American Idol: Greatest Moments" compilation. That album, which features several songs by winner Kelly Clarkson as well as performances by other runners-up, has sold 339,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan
