David Archuleta Debuts at #2

Remember the fabulous new single from David Archuleta I reviewed a few weeks ago? Well it was released to iTunes about a week ago, a this week he makes his chart debut at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Hot Digital Songs with 166k sold! This is the highest single debut from ANY ex Idol (excluding coronation songs, of course), and it’s the highest single debut in 18 months. Starting a chart run this high is huge for even an established artist, and David accomplished this before his song officially went out for adds. In other words, this is probably just the beginning of success for “Crush”.

So once again, where are ALL the people who mouthed off in the comments section about how he wouldn’t sell and couldn’t possibly be marketed? Anyone?? Bueller?

    I just listened to this song on iTunes…and realized that I’ve heard it like a billion times over the past week, but thought it was someone else’s song. Whoops. I wish his lovely voice came through more, but he’s got the formula down pat, and it’s a cute, catchy song. I have no worries about him. :)
