It looks like they may have two bonafilde stars. I really like both Davids and wish them both loads of success. Finally, TPTB got their male winner that may actually hit it big.

He was filmed on the Red Carpet at the AMAs. He sang Jingle Bells with Guillermo. (Sorry, no clue how to spell Guillermo!) He played a ukelele! My daughter is in heaven- the Jonas Brothers and DC on the same show again! (And, yes, we're night owls. One of the benefits of homeschooling.) Uh oh. Now Guillermo is trying to play the Davids off each other, telling each of them they're his favorite. Will he never stop flaming the fan wars? ;0) David Cook was just on Jimmy Kimmel.

Great article. Sorta on topic... Apparently I have to purchase two more Archie CDs and one more Cookie CD. I requested and received Christmas lists from three of my six nieces and nephews (haven't heard from the other three yet). Oddly, the 16 year old nephew and 14 year old niece want Archie CDs. The 12 year old niece wants Cookie's. LOL. Thanks Lisa! Great article.

What that is comprised of, they don't say. About 1 million is for Crush. Is the other 400K for the final week of Idol downloads? (The ones that were allowed to chart). Or is it international sales of Crush? The article also talks a little about Jive's future strategy and getting him on a "proper" tour in 2009. Very positive article. Nice that Jive acknowledges that he's gotten past just his Idol fanbase now--and I really think he has. I think his second week sales pretty much proved that first week sales weren't Idol first-week frontloaded sales. Billboard print article about DA’s debut (a scan).

I assume they switched them to coincide with Cook's album release. ^^ Yeah, DA was #1 for a couple of weeks. I assume they switched them to coincide with Cook’s album release.

Someone told me that the top 10 last year this week were much higher collectively. I think he said they were all over 90-100k. I think it's a fairly easy calculation to make that the Davids' cds would have put DA at 220k and DC at 340k in a more genial time. I thought Cook would come out about 260k and that HDD overprojected by 20k like they did last week. I am surprised by how on target their revised projections were this time around.

As for the Z100 add..I guess I'm a little late to the party because that's news to me too! I'm kind of surprised they added him. I remember one of the managers or DJs on Z100 making a comment a few weeks ago about Light On not being the kind of music suited to their station (can't remember the article though). One more station cookified. :cool2_tb: <blockquote>And speaking of collaborations, American Idol winner, David Cook, says Sarah McLachlan is on the top of his list. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m a huge fan of hers,à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  Cook said on the red carpet before the show. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“I think we could do something very cool.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ </blockquote> LOL, Cookie is certainly not shy about what he wants. I've been hoping for a Brandi Carlisle/Cook duet but I think Sarah M would be even more amazing. He really shouldn't tease us about those things. Congratulations to Cook ! 283,446 is awesome!
