Wasn't expecting much of an ad on iTunes because his official website is directly competing with iTunes for sales by offering the "exclusive deluxe album pre-order!!!111!!" and sure enough, there really isn't much advertisement on iTunes.
New & Noteworthy on the main page (you gotta scroll) What's Hot on the music page New & Noteworthy and a small ad on the pop page
Crush had a banner ad on the music page, in case anybody was wondering.

I don't think the official site is selling it yet. Amazon isn't yet either.
I bought it at iTunes and left a comment and rating.

So... probably not best to check the iTunes rankings every 5 minutes and post, but here's it's first iTunes rankings, just to show where it jumped to after sale. This is accurate to about 50 minutes after it started selling:
#224 in pop, #909 overall
ETA: No idea where this will wind up. There's pretty much no airplay, so it'll be going on name recognition and word of mouth alone.

And uber fans buying mulitple copies, oh yeah and gifting even more copies... ;) Actually, I really like this song; I will probably buy one copy. Archie has an amazing talent but his first album wasnt to my liking. Maybe this next one will be...

Yeah, uberfans will buy multiple copies. It's inevitable. But bulk buying rarely helps in overall sales in the end.

Nothing official on the topic, but I heard there's a limit at 7 copies. Don't ask me where that number came from because I honestly don't know.

I think it's best that if anyone wants multiple copies for the debut they do separate transactions or go back to the store everyday . That may work

It's doing better than I expected it to right out of the gate, especially considered it's not featured predominantly and you kind of have to look around a bit before you realize it exists.

Well that, and it has no airplay, lol. (#75 now, BTW) As for the multiple copy purchases, I agree with soundscene--bulk buying by stans rarely makes a dent in overall sales (fans tried it with TMH and ALTNOY and it didn't make a bit of difference). I don't know why people really do it if they aren't gifting for somebody who can't buy it, but it's their money so I say more power to 'em.

What the heck are stans? This was nice - last night Dapo tweeted: Hey everybody, @davidarchie's new song "Something 'Bout Love" is on iTunes tonight - go get it before they run out! bit.ly/9o1k9UAnd I don't want to be angry today but Sony/OS have officially p'd me off - such freakin incompetents at web stuff. Not available on the official site yet. Here it is sitting with the countdown clock at 0, and nothing new on front page. www.davidarchuleta.com/And as a further example of their bad web coders, the ratings on David's music STILL don't work/stick after TWO years (they didn't work at MyPlay either). D's music with no ratings www.davidarchuleta.com/musicAnd yet there were other artists at Sony MyPlay with ratings. I have a feeling some coding error gives our ratings of David's music to someone else's rating stars EDIT - At 11AM EST the official site posted an update about the delay and JiveMusic on twitter announced it will be up soon... iT - 11:01 a.m. ET - overall 68, pop 29

YEah I purchased a total of 6 copies, but i gifted 5 of them to people who couldnt get it for what ever reason.
but it seems to be doing decent today so far. for no airplay and no main banner ad.
