So on the overall radio airplay charts, Crush is 75 and 20 on iTunes meaning ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s still selling way more downloads than its airplay would suggest.

Crush is 61 in the Hot 100 Airplay this week, actually–75 last week. But yes, out of all the songs in the Hot 100 Airplay, Crush does better than most of them in sales. They include songs like “Spotlight” by J. Hud. which doesn’t seem to be selling at all, despite its pretty large airplay. It also includes older songs that haven’t gone recurrent yet, but are a little worn down sales-wise (like “I Kissed A Girl”).

Although comparing the iTunes chart with the airplay charts will always be wonky because there’s no guide as to how to determine how a song should be selling if its getting a certain amount of airplay.

Awesome to see the Davids doing so well!

It has to be sort of mainstream pop rock, but it canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t be generic, it canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t sound like Daughtry (OK, that was a little redundant),

That made me spew orange juice all over my monitor It’s always a good thing to have a hearty lololol in the morning. Thanks.

oh, and ps. i know i like sharing my random ass idol related experiences but i never know where to post them, so i just put it in something randomà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.?

Random crap belongs in the headlines thread. The top thread is not the random catch-all thread…

Crush is #19 on the Top 40 chart but there many different types of radio stations. ITunes includes all genres in its top 100 songs- rock, hip hop, pop, etc.

“Crush” is doing really well, and, if Jive continues to follow the Jordin model, DA’s next single will probably be a better song with a little more edge (assuming that is even possible when dealing with Archie, lol)

I, too, have been pleased to see Crush holding so steady on iTunes. Crush is now almost in balance, where the airply and sales ranks are both in the low 20s. What will be really interesting to see is whether the sales also climb in unison as the airplay numbers continue to go up. Getting back to the very top of the Hot 100 chart is going to require sales and airplay of Crush to climb together at the same rate, as I doubt there will be another massive surge in sales like the first week.

Yeah, I think Crush is taking the nice and easy route up now after that initial surge, and I too hope that the sales figures and airplay continue to rise at about the same pace. It’s top 20 now on Mediabase, which is awesome, and several songs above it are dropping fast, so it’s looking good. Even a little bit of promotion would really help it catch on to a wider audience.

But they also announced tonight that Kristy Lee Cook will be opening up for lonestar two weeks from tonight so im trying to get meet and greet/front row seaters to that one too….mmmm, kristy.

anyways, i need to pass out from the insane amount of alcohol consumed tonight at the boozefest phil was playing at(yes i am 21 now so booya!) he covered a lot of songs he did on ido and from his album…and he played the HELL out of the paino! I HAD NO IDEA HE COULD DO THAT)…but yes, if anybody really wants to see my goofy-as-fuck-pic i got to take with phil ill be glad to share. but for now, IM OUT.

and mj, i love u.

Cruzceleste, I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s our idols, lol.

That listing is for David M. Archuleta. Archie is David J.

And thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s not David Cookà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s name either.

:blush_tb:
LOL we notice… but we know that some of Archie ´s song (wrinting by him) are being considering for the album…

Congratulations to David Cook. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Time Of My Lifeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  takes the #1 position on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart! Heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the second American Idol, following Kelly Clarkson to take the #1 position, and the 4th Idol, behind Kelly Clarkson, Kimberley Locke and Chris Daughtry. Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the 6th Idol song to reach #1.

Alright! Go Magic Rainbow! David Cook, you are awesome! The Olympics exposure and the Oprah exposure really helped.
