"8th World Wonder" is the 2004 debut single from American Idol finalist Kimberley Locke, from her One Love album. The single (written by Joel Parkes, Shaun Shankel & Kyle Jacobs) debuted on the Billboard Singles Sales Chart at number one, making it the first non-Idol single to top the chart from any Idol finalist. The single was later nominated in the category for "Best Love Song" at the 2004 Teen Choice Awards. The release also features a brand new modern arrangement of Kimberley's signature song from the show, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".
In a recent Entertainment Weekly magazine, "8th World Wonder" was listed as one of the top 5 songs to come out of American Idol. It is one of the longest-running "Idol" singles to date, spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100.

“All things change, nothing is extinguished.... There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.”
