David Archuleta Crush HIT!

Posted on August 21st, 2008 in David Cook, David Archuleta, American Idol by lalate

David Archuleta


David Archuleta has a hit with Crush. Archuleta’s first single CRUSH has premiered at number 2 on Billboard. And yes, David Cook’s “The Time of My Life” premiered at number 3.

“Crush” is the highest debuting single for an Idol contestant for a song not sung on the show. The only other nondebut single to reach 2 was Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone”.

But when it comes down to download numbers, Cook beats Archuleta. Cook’s “The Time of My Life” pulled in 236,000 its first week, Archuleta at 166,000 for “Crush.”

Cook still has one incredible record - his first having 11 of his songs hit the Hot 100 on SoundScan, more than Miley Cyrus’ 6 and short of the Beatles 14 in 1964.

    David has delivered an amazing first single to his fans, and the public. It is rhythmic, David’s superior vocals soar and are identifiable throughout, has a catchy beat.. Hey-> I watched lotsa American Bandstand back in the day :)

    His older fans like me find themselves humming along unconsciously, and the verses transport the listener back to those bygone days of school girl and schoolboy CRUSHES… It has an appeal across a very broad spectrum of listeners, and should effectively silence the detractors and critics who didn’t believe he had mainstream appeal. CRUSH is the catapult for David to continue his growth and evolution as an artist - I ANTICIPATE MANY MANY YEARS OF OUTSTANDING MUSIC FROM HIM. TAKE A BOW DAVID… YOU’VE ARRIVED.

    WELL DONE DAVID JAMES ARCHULETA - Those who were with you from the beginning knew down to our souls you were something special, and have never wavered in our belief that you are destined, as Paula told you after you sang IMAGINE, for SUPERSTARDOM… soak it all in tonight, little brother - this one is for you…
