Alright, let's get the necessary stuff out of the way. #1 album: Jonas Brothers A Little Bit Longer. Blah. #1 single: Rihanna "Disturbia." Good for her. OK! Now for the good stuff...

By selling a whopping 166,000 copies, David Archuleta debuted at an ASTOUNDING #2 on this week's Billboard Hot 100 chart with his first single "Crush" from his forthcoming debut album, which is expected to be released on November 4th. Now, let me remind you to *breathe*. Seriously ... because you're gonna need the oxygen before reading these mind-blowingly exciting stats:

• The highest debut on the Hot 100 of 2008
• The highest debut ever on the Hot 100 for an American Idol song not performed on the series
• Archey’s peak position to date on the Hot 100 is higher than the winner, David Cook

...& that's just some of them! Well, let me be the first (doubtful--lol) to say: YAY!! Go David Archuleta!!! :) (I told the world he was the better David. They finally listened!)
