Yea rascal! He so deserves this…I feel like a proud Momma right now.
Hugs!

yES!!!
Congrats!!!!!!
Let’s wait for the video, more radio play, more publicity, etc -- DAVID will remain #1!!!!
Now, check online to make sure your LOCAL RADIO stations have CRUSH on their playlist, if not, request the song to the program director, NOT DJ, and keep requesting the song to your LOCAL RADIO station!!!
Hit NUMERO UNO…NUMBER ONE….CRUSH IS #1 ON I-TUNES. FANTASTIC! REMEMBER THIS DAY 8/12 AND TIME 7:17 WHEN DAVID ARCHULETA, MY IDOL WENT TO #1 ….
ram . August 12, 2008 .
Today I opened my first Itunes account. I am somewhat embarrassed that I taken so long to become more adept downloading (54years old) but for David I will do just about anything. I couldn’t be any prouder and I want to say “Bravo, David” for following your dream.
Abrazos y besos
I can hardly contain myself…I would give anything to be at the concert tonight….can you just imagine! The arena will explode when he comes on stage! Just love him to pieces!
collegemom . August 12, 2008 .
I am so happy and he isn’t even playing on my stations yet!! I am pushing at Star101.3 and RadioAlice to get him on. RadioAlice (San Francisco Bay Area) is the cool station and they have a studio/lounge where Natasha B and John Mayer, etc. come into to talk and sing. Star101.3 is the pop station with locals in the am/pm and Ryan in the late afternoon. FYI:
If you have a radio station in your area that has Ryan Seacrest on it mine gave me the number to call to request songs and leave messages:
1-877-811-7926. You can leave a regular message or on another choice you can request music. Make sure you say which station he is on and city so he knows. Mine is Star 101.3 SF/Bay Area. I left him a personal message telling him that David was #1 on itunes and that I am waiting to hear him on my local station. Then you can also do a request.
Josie . August 12, 2008 .
I would give anything to see his face when he finds out Crush went to #1….and on the first day….
vermeer . August 12, 2008 .
I am so very happy for David his first single made #1 within 24 hours. Much as I love Natasha Bedingfield and her Pocketful of Sunshine which I bought on iTunes, even she made it up to only #2 after appearing on AI. She may have made #1 but how impressive is David’s popularity?! David must be so so so excited today!
marylee . August 12, 2008 .
…YEAH….Way to go David!!! We are all so very proud of you for making it to #1 in just 1/2 a day….but then again, we all knew you would do it!! I just love your new song…can’t stop listening to it…how excited you must be today and we, your supporters, celebrate right along with you!
archangel48 . August 12, 2008 .
If I was any happier I would attempt a cartwheel! I am sure David wouldn’t want me to break-a-leg or anything! I’d give just about anything to have seen David’s reaction as “Crush” went #1. Congratulations to him and his loving family.
davidfanLIZ . August 12, 2008 .
Congratulations David!!! The first of many #1s!!
vermeer . August 12, 2008 .
Thanks collegemon #6 for the tip. I am in the Bay Area too as is “scriptype” whom I mean to contact via myspace except that I have yet to sign up (hoping she sees this). (Sorry Rascal, for using your site to communicate with other Archies!)
Rob . August 12, 2008 .
Hey….Not just #1 on the Itunes Pop chart but #1 on the Overall Main Song chart.
#1
gerryhansolo . August 12, 2008 .
WHOOOOOOOOOO! WELL DESERVED, MUCH DESERVED! YOU GO GO GO GO GO DAVID JAMES! REMEMBER THE JUDGES’ CALLS: DESTINED FOR SUPERSTARDOM, BEST VOCALS THIS SEASON, THE CRUSHER! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHA! WE ARE SO BLESSED TO WITNESS THE KID’S MANY, INCREDIBLE JOURNEYS & ALL THE GENEROSITY HE SHARES WITH US!
kccy . August 12, 2008 .
David, Congratulations! You do have good taste. CRUSH is a really good pop song and its catching on, yes! Enjoy this historic moment. So many dreams have come true and many mor to follow! We love you David.
Rob, is it confirmed Crush is #1 overall? If yes, that’s awesome!
YAYYY! Congrats, David!!! And to you Rascal & Josie & Josie’s mom for having such a wonderful encounter with David. I’m frantically trying to catch up on all this after having travelled from Toronto to N.H. for the Manchester show. And I’m so glad I did.
I agree, Josie, Angels was the best I’ve heard him do yet (although I was disappointed the crowd was more subdued for him than in T.O.).
I also needed to see David up close, just to see that he’s real. I know that sounds kinda crazy but that’s the only way I can explain it. (I have no idea why but I felt compelled somehow, don’t know if anyone else has experienced this.) Anyway, I did finally get the chance pre-show, and gave him a small Maple Leaf emblazoned gift to remind him of how much he’s loved in Canada. And now all is well with the world.
Can’t wait to hear your inside scoop, Rascal!
refnaf . August 12, 2008 .
Hi TOfan! Crush #1!! oh yes!! I was driving my son to a class this morning and tuned in to a Toronto station (CHUM FM) and I heard Crush… so thrilled. Way to go David, the crusher.
Congratulations, David! Congratulations, Archies! We dd it!!
archftw . August 12, 2008 .
This is so exciting! Crush hasn’t even hardly hit the radio yet, and when it does, many new fans will be recruited. This is HUGE!
It’s just so awesome! *Sniff*
Kizzi . August 12, 2008 .
#1 on Day 1 on iTunes!! Well deserved. Now on to Billboard #1--it will happen--his fans will grow and make it so!!!!
arch4mal . August 12, 2008 .
Yaay! ‘Crush’ is numero uno. Well done David, you deserve it and to all David’s fans, well done too. Hope we can keep him there for awhile.
You rock David James!
Diana . August 12, 2008 .
Yes, the best news of the day. So excited for him. Had sent a congratulatory note to him at myspace.
caseydog . August 12, 2008 .
SO, SO awesome! Listening to Crush as I type this.
Rising to No. 1 seems all the more impressive to me because — as opposed to the old days — virtually everyone who paid money for the song today *already* had the MP3 for free. That’s 10s of thousands of people sending a message to Archie: 99 cents is a pittance compared to the value of the joy you have brought us these past seven months.
David, you deserve great things and more. Like rascal said, don’t ever change.
Fe . August 12, 2008 .
I’m so dang proud of him, I could just cry…oh yeah, I did that already. Congratulations David James! This is only the beginning…..
lovedavid . August 12, 2008 .
To add to caseydog, all the more impressive because really the only promotion it had was David appearing on Z100 a week or so ago (as another blog mentioned). Others who skyrocketed to #1 at least had an appearance on American Idol or night time talkshows, etc. in front of millions.
I had to laugh when a friend of mine emailed me today to tell me David had a single out and had I heard it? Uh, yeah, I got up at 5:30 am to hear it debut in NYC and I downloaded it at midnight last night and gifted it to half a dozen people. Perhaps you’ve heard of my addiction to David Archuleta-crack?
caseydog . August 12, 2008 .
LOL! lovedavid, that was hilarious. I sent the news around to three or four people in my office who are AI fans and got zero response -- I think they think it’s weird I talk about Idol or an idol singer 3 months after the show ended! Their loss!
Freo . August 12, 2008 .
I know, isn’t even incredible that David has done almost no publicity for the song yet? I hope that there will be a domino effect as more radio stations play it after it hit #1 today.
ErinH0611 . August 12, 2008 .
This is just amazing. But, did we ever doubt the Archuletor? I had a few co workers listen to Crush, they thought the same thing….instant hit! I’m so excited for David and what is to come for all of us! Yahoo! Can’t wait for the CD.
ram . August 12, 2008 .
Is “rascal” Michael Crichton or somebody like that?
Fe . August 12, 2008 .
Just a quick shout out to Josie for those AMAZING pictures of David in the previous post where Rascal describes meeting David. Those EYES! Amazing. And to Rascal, I didn’t get a chance to comment, but I will here, THANK YOU! I got a sense that David was somewhat blown away by your comment regarding The Long and Winding Road. I felt the same as many others…I thought David did that song absolutely perfect. Simon even called it MasterClass…and it was.
davidfanLIZ . August 12, 2008 .
It’s such a privilege to be a fan at the beginning of David’s journey. This is a great day for him! There is a fabulous path laid out before him.
kccy . August 12, 2008 .
Freo#27, I’m wishing the AI tour is out of the way NOW so David & Jive can do some serious career promo.
timbot . August 12, 2008 .
Rascal, Yea for David and everyone who knows talent and class when the see and hear it. As you may remember from a post months ago, my mama always told me there would be decades like this and she was right…this is the beginning of the Archuleta decade. Isn’t this grand?
Rascal, thank you for you and what you do, and for allowing us older teens a “deeper” place to visit and reflect on all things David Archuleta.
Love you too Josie!
jackryan4DA . August 12, 2008 .
Congratulations are also in order for all his fans who am sure found ways and means to make Crush numero uno in about 18 hours after it became available for digital download.
Josie’s card to David reminds me of a declamation piece I read when I was much young-eeerrr — “throw a small pebble in the middle of a pond and watch the ripples it creates”.
Every action, spoken or written word that a fan commits, contribute to that ripple effect. Like, how brilliant is that Gift-Giving Campaign? What a way to push a product and engage a whole community worldwide — love it! And if we keep at it, we may soon reach the tipping point that would propel David to his rightful place as an artist.
It is a happy day! Congrats David and his community of admirers
Ely . August 13, 2008 .
I was tense all day monitoring the activity at fanblast while I was at work. I could get fired for this. But oh well, I couldn’t help myself. So glad we made him #1 today. But what about tomorrow? What are we going to do? I already started requesting the song from our local stations here. Hopefully that would help keep the status of this song on top of the billboard charts. Yay! I’m so excited for David. Just like many of you here, it appears that the fans are the real driving force for David’s single to chart. I haven’t seen any promo at all from Jive or not that I’ve noticed anyway. I hope they will also promote it heavily and not just leave it to the fans. We need all the help we can get for our angel David.
chickee . August 13, 2008 .
It’s a honor and privlege to witness the splendor that is David Archuleta. Congratulations to David on the beginning of a brilliant future. You are a treasure.
smanda . August 13, 2008 .
I wish I could think of something articulate enough to belong on Rascal’s lovely site but I am so excited by this number one news that all I can do is a fangirl screeeeeeeeeeeaa aaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
junee . August 13, 2008 .
rascal, can we see your picture together with david in your report from the road part III ??
Anyway, i love when you say “Don’t ever lose that”
and HORRAY for DAVID, FOR ARCHIES AND FOR ALL OF ARCHANGELS !!
CONGRATULATIONS !!!
MYYK . August 13, 2008 .
Read the comments in office (it’s 13:48pm here), and smiled.
The smile is for David, Congratulation!!!
Second smile for a off-topic thinking. Love, in some aspects, is a dose of poison.
kccy . August 13, 2008 .
In case some of you havent watch this -- David thanking the fans for Crush being #1 on iTunes.
David says, “I’m working hard for you guys so…I hope I make you guys proud”
He hoped he made us proud That’s our David alright! Woohoo!
Now back to promoting David while finishing my report
archangel48 . August 13, 2008 .
“I’m working hard for you guys”! No pretense there. Could he be any more REAL? I was about to doze-off…decided to check on noting David…I am so glad I did! Thank-you kccy. I shall nod-off to la-la land with a grin from ear-to-ear! Love that kid,man.
djasgirl . August 13, 2008 .
OMG! this made me tear up! i’m so proud of him. this is so great.
marylee . August 13, 2008 .
#40/kccy: Thanks for sharing the video of David thanking his fans….what a sweetheart he is!
marylee . August 13, 2008 .
P.S. DAVID -- we couldn’t be any more proud of you than we are at this very moment……GO DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lora . August 13, 2008 .
We are so proud of you David!!! Congratulations! Hugs to all who support and love precious David James!!
Inspired by David . August 13, 2008 .
Rascal,
I appreciate everyone of your articles and your thoughts about David. You are one of his biggest supporters!! Some people I guess start commenting before they really stop and think about what they are going to say. I usually always agree with you. I knew Kristy was going to be a great country singer because I have watched her earlier videos before she was on AI. I think she was kind of like David in the way that AI portrayed her. She is really better than she appeared to be on the show. She really didn’t get to sing songs that were her style and show how great she is. Simon didn’t care much for her it seemed and a lot of people throwed off on her. I watched her sing many country songs before she was on the show and I thought she was very good. You know most of the songs were not her genre of music, and that does not mean she is not a great country singer. Everyone can do better and be more comfortable when they can pick the songs and its their style of music. I also think she is beautiful woman, so she will do great in the country scene.
As far as David goes…I am sure he is probably getting very tired. He seems to be a person that gives so much of himself trying to make others happy that it is wearing him down. Imagine all that he has to do on a daily basis…there is no resting, no spending time with his high school friends, meetings with Jive and recording in between concerts, getting on planes to go from place to place, changes in times zones, just work work work. Although he loves it, I’m sure he must be very tired. I could not imagine sleeping on buses, going from hotel to hotel, sleeping in a different bed every night. It must be exhausting for all of them, but you know some adults can handle things like that better than teenagers. It also depends on your personality to I guess. Some people can handle stress better than others. After the tour is over he will have more time to rest. Thanks Rascal for all of your writings!
KCCY #32: I want him to be able to roll up his sleeves and get to work seriously, too. And also get some rest.
But I’m selfish, and I’ll add that he hasn’t yet made it to the plains states. I have “dates” with him in Kansas City and Tulsa and I really don’t want to be stood up.
kccy . August 13, 2008 .
Kait#48, LOL, I dont want you to be stood up by David too! Two concert dates, woohooo! Enjoy yourself, for us who do not have the privilege now, we envy you! Furthermore, I still want to see all the screaming and applause for him at EVERY stop! Haha,I love it.
It was just some wishful thinking. AI tour, in David’s position now, is still a win-win situation in my opinion -- to reinforce the AI fanbase while picking up new fans from the show. You know, he did mentioned that he wasnt sure if AI fans support will still be there after the show ended -- how wrong can he be????!!!! But since Crush is gathering steam, David should be out there to promote it (& album) and reach out to the non-AI market. Hence, he’s working doubly hard -- for the tour and the album. Rest is a luxury. Oh well, I always believe things usually turn out for the best, especially where David is concerned, especially after Rascal’s post about his conversation with Jeff -- so uplifting! Yay!
scriptype . August 14, 2008 .

Imagine all that he has to do on a daily basis…there is no resting, no spending time with his high school friends, meetings with Jive and recording in between concerts, getting on planes to go from place to place, changes in times zones, just work work work. Although he loves it, I’m sure he must be very tired. I could not imagine sleeping on buses, going from hotel to hotel, sleeping in a different bed every night. It must be exhausting for all of them, but you know some adults can handle things like that better than teenagers. It also depends on your personality to I guess. Some people can handle stress better than others. After the tour is over he will have more time to rest. Thanks Rascal for all of your writings!
KCCY #32: I want him to be able to roll up his sleeves and get to work seriously, too. And also get some rest.
But I’m selfish, and I’ll add that he hasn’t yet made it to the plains states. I have “dates” with him in Kansas City and Tulsa and I really don’t want to be stood up.
Kait#48, LOL, I dont want you to be stood up by David too! Two concert dates, woohooo! Enjoy yourself, for us who do not have the privilege now, we envy you! Furthermore, I still want to see all the screaming and applause for him at EVERY stop! Haha,I love it.
It was just some wishful thinking. AI tour, in David’s position now, is still a win-win situation in my opinion -- to reinforce the AI fanbase while picking up new fans from the show. You know, he did mentioned that he wasnt sure if AI fans support will still be there after the show ended -- how wrong can he be????!!!! But since Crush is gathering steam, David should be out there to promote it (& album) and reach out to the non-AI market. Hence, he’s working doubly hard -- for the tour and the album. Rest is a luxury. Oh well, I always believe things usually turn out for the best, especially where David is concerned, especially after Rascal’s post about his conversation with Jeff -- so uplifting! Yay!
#12 Vermeer: I just saw your post. I’ve been busy “Crushing” for two days. How can I ‘friend’ you on MySpace? Or, you can friend me: http://www.myspace.com/minjab
“Crush” #1 for the third consecutive day on iTunes! Something tells me David doesn’t have a problem with song selection.
