LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The McPheever has subsided at RCA.

The record label announced yesterday that they had parted ways with Katharine McPhee, the “American Idol” Season 5 runner-up.

Katharine released just one album, a self-titled effort, in late 2007.

She is the latest “Idol” in a series of weeks to part ways with their imprint.

Season 2 winner Ruben Studdard has also left his imprint, J-Records, after three albums.

Season 5 winner Taylor Hicks also parted ways with RCA, it was announced earlier this week.
