David Archuleta – First Single “Crush” Released to Radio in August
According to All Access (You have to be registered to see it…click on the Top40/M format and New Releases on the left.) David Archuleta’s first single, “Crush”, will be officially released to radio on August 12. FMQB reports it will be available for airplay on August 11.
“Crush” is the single from David’s upcoming album, due in November (November 4, according to Amazon).
Checking out the ASCAP listing for “Crush”, it has Dave Hodges, late of the band Evanescence–and famously the subject of Kelly Clarkson’s blistering single “Never Again”–listed as a writer. Hodges wrote “Because of You” and “Addicted” with Kelly for her album Breakaway. ASCAP also lists two other writers on the cut, Jess Clayton Cates, and Emanuel Kiriakou.
More more on David’s upcoming album–it’s been reported that he’s working with The Underdogs, Kara DioGuardi and Ryan Tedder of the band OneRepublic.

I’m probably in the minority here but the only singles I’m looking forward to are MJ and Carly.
I’m wondering if a single this early may not be a wise idea. When does Archie have a chance to run to radio stations to promote it and when does he have time to shoot a video amidst a tour and recording the album?
I really like David Archuleta. I think he’s got an amazing natural tone and ability. But this crowd of writers sounds kind of sappy. Fingers crossed.
I also wonder about releasing a single by him and KLC on the same day. What’s the logic of that? I know that their respective audiences differ, but still. What would one week have meant to either of them? (or to either of their teams, I guess–man, it’s such a marketing racket for a product, isn’t it?)
It doesn’t matter that David and Kristy have the same adds date. Their songs are going to be on different formats. His song is going for adds on Top 40 and hers on Country.
Really looking forward to this! I can’t wait to see what direction TPTB plan to take David right now.
Good for Archie, I’m really interested to hear his single
Very promising to hear David Hodges wrote on the song…though I think this song will be a very different direction from “Never Again”. (At least I hope!)
I don’t think DC fans really count ToML since it was obligatory…anyway when I say first single I mean first original song that they actually had a choice to record
I’m not surprised Archie is able to release quickly – I’m sure they had a lot of material ready for him to sing. Cook I’m assuming wants to write on most if not all of his record, so there’s more in terms of process going on. 19 did release that pic yesterday in EW (it’s in the print edition too btw) to let us all know stuff IS happening.
I have no problem with them taking their time to do it right. As long as we catch Black Friday.
I always thought “Time of My Life” was Cookie’s first single. There wasn’t any runner-up single so I don’t see the big deal of Archie (or KLC, for that matter) releasing their singles ahead of Cook’s 2nd single (yes, 2nd single).
I do not think Cook is being Taylored. I read somewhere his PRE-ORDERS has reached GOLD-status already on Amazon and elsewhere.
I agree Duke. It is a good thing. In fact, Ryan Tedder is supposedly working with both Davids. I love One Republic’s album and I especially love Ryan Tedder’s voice. Archie sounded really nice at the finale singing Apologize and I’ll be interested to hear the songs that come from Ryan’s involvement with the project.
Exactly :wink_wp:
I hate to burst bubbles (my own as well) but Archie didn’t sound like he was actually working with Ryan Tedder very much from this interview.

I’d love to see a Ryan Tedder collaboration, but Ryan has been spreading very thin lately. He wrote most of that flop of Blake Lewis album. It’s not like his songs are sure-fire hits.
a fan talked to ryan tedder at his concert and he said he was writing songs for Archie. I think Archie in his interview hinted that he turned down one of his songs. Ryan wrote some goods songs but also a lot of unknown ones like for Blake. I trust Archie is choosing songs based on what sounds best and not who’s writing it.
The handwringing gets so very very old. I am glad Archie has a single coming out even though this is no way I will buy it. His fans seem to need it. I was surprised they were not more into it last night.
No finger wagging please. Let me do the modding. Please do NOT chastise your fellow posters. That will get your post deleted. Posts that bait fangroups will also be deleted.
I’ve had to delete more posts in this thread. Hand-wringing over COOK’S career is not on topic in this post, as I stated upthread.
Consistently ignoring my modding = banning. Just so you know.
The date in August is for the radio release and that’s not the date you can buy the track.
I read somewhere that with Jordin Sparks her single was avaible at Itunes a month after that the radio release, so if they do the same with Archie it is after the tour ended.
And how easy will it be to get the radio stations to play the song ?
I read everywhere it isn’t so easy to get a song to be played by radio stations?
I have read several places that this will be available on itunes on August 12th.
