The Goliath Leap Of David Archuleta

David Archuleta, the other “winner” of last season’s American Idol, made a Goliath leap this week, debuting straight into #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the hit single “Crush”, stopping only a rung below Rihanna’s Disturbia. “Crush” is the type of song most big voice singers could sing, but perhaps you’ve got to hand it over to Archuleta for pulling the highest “Idol” single debut. David Cook, last season’s winner debuted at #3 back in May with his victory song, “Time Of My Life”.

PREFERRED SONG STYLE

David Cook: Plus: Cook’s faux-rock sound recalls runner-up Idol Chris Daughtry from season five, whom many viewers still think should have won his year. They proved it by buying six times as many copies of his album as they did of the one by last year’s crowned singer, Jordin Sparks. Minus: No minuses here
