Blast from the past: David Archuleta - Crush

Here's a blast from the past for ya! Three years ago today David Archuleta's first single "Crush" premiered on New York's Z100!

Though it's been three years and David's had a lot of great singles since then, "Crush" tops them all. Making #2 on the Billboard 200 and selling 166,000 copies in it's first week, "Crush" was one of the biggest hits of 2008. A contemporary pop song, perfect for the then 17 year old crooner's break out into his solo career. "Crush" played night and day on airwaves all over the world for months during it's long run in 2008. And if radio wasn't enough, "Crush" was also used on commercials for the show Lincoln Heights and the 2008 film New in Town. Barely a show has gone by where David hasn't performed "Crush", it still be a crowd favorite, the audience singing along every time.

Now, with a little more confidence and an understanding of what he wants his music to be, the 20 year old singer has another new single on his hands, "Everything And More". Though David has a lot more experience and certainty in his own music, nothing will ever compare to the feeling and response everyone got from his debut single back in 2008.
