It went for adds in December or January and peaked in April. There were at least two mediabase ads for it. David did several radio station appearances. Radio for whatever reason wasn't buying it. The only thing I fault the label for is not releasing it right when Crush was peaking and for taking the Hot AC add date away. It probably would have been successful on Hot AC and then his video would have been on VH1 and he would have seen some sales from that. Plus, maybe they shouldn't have changed the song but who knows if TMH would have done better. I disagree. It went for adds in December or January and peaked in April.

It never even had the chance to peak. It was dead on arrival. The label just barely made a move to release and hung it out to dry before radio stations would even try to play it.

From the screams, it is obvious that many of the folks there weren't exactly "non-fans." But what I most loved seeing? The big smiles on Mike Ks, Johnny Bs and Kendra's faces -- nice to think David is surrounded by people who care.

Why? Because he has a great voice and to me, it seems like he was developing his musical style more after his album has been released than when he was on Idol or while working on the album. I think they have a clearer vision of where they want to go and if you think about it, he's sold about the same as Jordin without a huge blockbuster single like she had with No Air. I think they can totally repackage the whole album with No Gravity and release that as a single and that would boost up his sales.

Remember, this is his <em>first album,</em> whether Jive drops him next year is ....wow...its still waay out there. ANything could happen with his second album. And if it bombs? It won't stop him from continuing music. Here's a guy who has frequently said that he doesn't care about the fame or the money. He just want to do this for a living for as long as he can. If Jive drops him, he'll go indie. He'll still perform, he'll still be there, somewhere. AND we'll have MJ update us on his career FOREVER! lolz

Are we certain that there won't be a 3rd single coming off of his current album? It seems some people here are suggesting that that is the case?

Show me the money! Seriously though, I do find it interesting to hear how the idols fair monetarily. (Really? 100,000 for a state fair? Wow). Regarding singles, I felt there were more good singles on the debut album also, and remain curious as to why they weren't brought out and supported by his label.
