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 Cook is no Clay Aiken, at least when it comes down to the pipes. But how about longevity in the music business? David Cook hasn’t even been a household name less than six months, and one magazine today is already concerned that Cook will not have the staying power in the music business that Clay Aiken has already proven to deliver.

Several weeks ago, LALATE asked you what you thought about Clay Aiken v. David Archuleta. That story has seen become the top rated story online for that subject.

But the question today is not, who is more talented between Aiken and Cook (clearly Aiken ), but could Cook have a longterm, successful music career like Aiken?

New York Magazine is not so sure: “Is David Cook really ready to support a family? Sure, he’s riding high on a record contract and endorsement deals now, but long-term success doesn’t come easy for most male Idol stars. We’ll spare you our multivolume thesis on why he’s no Clay Aiken, but, suffice to say, he is no Clay Aiken.”

Do you agree? Can Cook have the longterm success that Clay Aiken has had in music?
