presence since American Idol premiere gave aerosmith songs sales a huge boost. Since the 2011 season premiere,
Steven Tyler being part of American Idol jury seems to bring back aerosmith songs popularity. 70 s and 80 s
songs like I don t want to miss a thing and Dream on are now hitting Billboard s top list. While nobody expected
this before, Steven Tyler probably had this in mind when he signed for the Fox TV channel s reality show. If some
people thought that the 10th season would suffer from the absence of Simon Cowell, Steven Tyler s presence
seems to matter so much that American Idol doesn t lack him anymore. So far, Steven Tyler has been a pretty
striking presence on Idol, said Rushfield. He s a wild character, and he s pretty much pushed Simon Cowell out of
people s minds in just two weeks. Only a few episodes were enough to bring back Aerosmith songs popularity in
the USA, which sales has dramaticaly incresed just after the show aired on Fox TV. As he had never watched the
show before, it seems almost clear that Tyler was on to something : getting involved with American Idol would
bring back Aerosmith s popularity to its highest in almost a decade. Aerosmith songs I don t want to miss a thing
(1998) and two versions of Dream on (1973) now rank respectively #22, #77 and #115 on Apple s iTunes chart. In

Thing , that aired on Jan. 27th, followed by the original music video, led this song to enter Billboard s Digital

vocals, Joe Perry on lead guitar, Ray Tabano on rhythms, Tom Hamilton on bass, and Joey Kramer on drums. Ray

director. As the band s reputation started to grow, Steven Tallarico changed his name to Steven Tyler in 1972.
Their first self-titled album (Aerosmith) was released in 1973, after they signed a contract with Columbia
Records. The single Pandora s Box was included on Get your Wings, which was released in 1974 and went gold.
