Didn’t quite believe it when the rumors came out today but the Z100 add rocks. The morning DJs are actually always talking about David. Not everyday but every so often. It’s funny.

Im so happy they added it. I still think ALTNOY is a really good song. I cant wait to see spins for come back to me and bar-ba-sol.

Holy cow. Z100 added ALTNOY. I actually thought that song was DOA.
I’m happy to hear it’s still alive and kicking.

Z100 added ALTNOY

That’s great news! To be honest, I didn’t think that was going to happen, since it took them so long. It seems though, that Jive really does have a great relationship with Z100. They added Britney’s song also (not so happy about that one though!)

Z100 added ALTNOY.

Good for ALTNOY. It should help alot. It might get it into Top 40 by next week.

Z100 added ALTNOY. So yeah, with a Daddy station on board, the song may get more adds. There’s a whole lot of stations that simply won’t add a song if a Daddy like Z100 isn’t on board. If it does nothing else, it’ll help it sales-wise.

Eh, I honestly could care less about the numbers from now until the new singles start climbing (or he appears on AI, which will probably happen sooner). I’m just happy the album got to Platinum before anything other than LO went for adds, I didn’t think it could happen and it did. That’s amazing to me – selling Platinum without a big CHR hit, just shows DC has mad potential with this album.

Ick well those numbers killed my fangirly concert high

Did you go last night? Or is it tonight? I’d personally be excited to go with the official platinum thing in place!

I’m also glad new singles on the horizon and hope, hope they do the job! I do like the idea of LO being the only single to get him to platinum though! Good stuff! Again, hoping for more!

IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m wondering, though, if it will hang onto top 50 next week with nothing really hitting for another couple weeks.

Maybe not. I’m just glad he had new stuff on the horizon when the record finally started to run out of steam. He’s had a pretty good run under LO and TOML. Now its time for CBTM and Barbasol to take up the banner. Fingers crossed.

Wow, that’s jump for J-hud, right? Oprah effect?

Yay for DC selling platinum (thought there was never any doubt he’d get that this week). I’m wondering, though, if it will hang onto top 50 next week with nothing really hitting for another couple weeks.

^^Anyone have an idea about what vendors equal 20% of the market, but would sell no units for Cook and Hudson? Just curious, seems odd to me.

Anywho, WHOOHOOOOO, over 1,000,000 sold, David Cook The Record!!! :clap_tb: :drunk_tb:

I had actually thought that ALTNOY would do better than Crush too since I think it is a far better song than the latter. (Not that the latter isn’t a good song, it is. But I like ALTNOY more). FWIW, it did well in the Philippines and the video is still doing well in some radio stations. The video is doing great as well. As to whether or not they’re giving him a new single, I guess only time will tell.

On Kelly now, I love the fact that they have a new date for a new single despite the fact that MLWSWY still has a bullet on all formats. Way to go Kelly!

Great news about David Cook selling platinum last week.

I think the song that Archie co-wrote with JC from NSYNC, “Don’t Let Go” would be an excellent single. It seems current and radio-friendly.

They got a snippet, yes, but I believe they got a longer snippet from Promosquad. People were spazzing because you could hear the entire bridge on the Promosquad version. And they wouldnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t be spazzing if they already had the album.

Timing doesnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t matter anyway (whether IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m right or IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m remembering wrong)Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’it was obvious they were considering ALTNOY as a second single before they ever announced TMH as the second single because ALTNOY wound up on Promosquad before that time.

I might be remembering wrong myself, but I think we were both attempting to make the same point anyway (that the decision to switch the single didn’t just come out of the blue).

The JoBros are not doing so hot…I thought they were projected to have the #1 album and #1 movie this week. The #1 movie thing didn’t happen… looks like the #1 album won’t too. Ouchie. I hope Taylor does beat them for #1 album this week. Sweet victory haha.

Have you guys heard the snippet of DavidÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s recording of Zero Gravity that was leaked over at Snarky Archies today?

Yeah, it’s pretty awesome. It would certainly be a great fit on my local station – the one that added ALTNOY the first week yet never seems to play it. :wallbash_tb:

Have you guys heard the snippet of David’s recording of Zero Gravity that was leaked over at Snarky Archies today? Honestly the song sounds like Lady Gaga…I think it’s great but what do I know, I thought ALTNOY would be bigger than Crush :wacko_tb:

I think David will end up being huge overseas (especially Asia), but always have a loyal following here. And that’s fine…as long as he keeps making music and performing that works for me :smile1_tb:
