#6 peak on his core format for the reigning AI winner. I doubt that's what the label was wanting. I like David and think he will have a very nice steady career but won't be a superstar. I never thought he had that wow factor. I think we'll see about the same from Kris Allen in the coming year. Adam Lambert - totally different kind of performer so no need to even try to compare him to David or Kris. I haven't made up my mind how I think Adam will do. Really successful first album and then after the novelty wears off may not be able to maintain that first album success. We'll see.

Fair enough. Hopefully his next album does better.

My guess is that RCA is pretty pleased with three straight top tens in his core format. It was a pretty competitive summer on HAC, and the spins that this song got would have been enough for a top 5 on other HAC charts.

My guess would be that RCA was hoping for greater success than this. He did not manage any real hits and his sales were to Idol fans. He never broke out as a star of any kind, although he does have mad talent and it is a shame that the label did not have enough faith in him to release any of his co-writes. RCA is a label with bigger fish to fry and the budget for his second album will likely take a massive hit. In other words, I don't think they see him as a "global superstar" and they aren't likely to be getting him a theme song on a blockbuster film soundtrack.
