HOME > American Idol > American Idol 6 Simon Cowell: "I sell more records than Bruce Springsteen"
By Christopher Rocchio, 03/16/2007
For Simon Cowell, American Idol means one thing and one thing only.
During the 60 Minutes interview, correspondent Anderson Cooper states Cowell "makes more money for Sony BMG" then most of the label's artists, a fact the Idol judge is apparently not too shy to talk about. Specifically, Cooper asks Cowell if he thinks he's "just as important" to Sony BMG as Bruce Springsteen. While structured differently, both reportedly have deals in the $100 million range with the large music company. "In terms of selling records yes. I sell more records than Bruce Springsteen. I mean in the last five years, I've probably sold over 100 million records," Cowell told Cooper. "So [Springsteen] got [$100 million], I should have gotten [$500 million]. I mean $100 million deal... that's a great deal. For [Springsteen]. For him it's a good deal." At least Cowell doesn't think he's bigger than Jesus.
