A covers album might work well for David, especially with his audience. If the cards are played right, he might even score an AC hit.

Well somebody would have to play David's cards for him because he is now on a 2-year Mormon Mission that started Mar 28. But he does have current and upcoming stuff all created in the 10 weeks before his mission started. -- Yesterday Forevermore single/video was #1 on MYX Philippines (that is people-voted, one vote per day). The album has been a bestselling album including #1 OPM album at Astroplus (PH) and for 3 weeks it's been the bestselling album at WOWHD which is the lowest price place for US and Canada to buy it (and last time I looked #2 seller was David's TOSOD Asian Tour Edition) It comes in a large format flat no-plastic case with a really nice CD booklet of images of David overlaid with lyrics. (example page) www.thedavidchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/DA_SongBook2-1024x756.jpgNow Ivory Music is working on a real international release of the Forevermore album. BTW I updated the Forevermore music video on bottom of the previous page to the official video on David's Youtube. And John Daza (A & R Direction) said something that sounded like another video from the Forevermore album is in the wings (I hope a second single to go with it). Meanwhile here is a fan video for the track Maybe (using Nandito Ako clips) In other news... We are waiting on release of a subtitled DVD set of Nandito Ako And Kurt Bestor and John Hancock are producing David's US album (should be released in the fall) (photo by Kari Sellards)

International release - Forevermore album is now on iTunes, #33 Pop Single is still a #1 seller (MP3) and charter in Philippines Hoping to get the video onto iTunes (bugging IvoryMusicVideo) US album - Kurt Bestor is saying release June, July though I (and some others) were hoping fall was correct to space out what we have coming from David. Kurt has a recorded TV interview Sunday where he'll say a bit more. So far we've heard him say Bridge Over Troubled Water is on it and they recorded 11 songs. Bestor told ABC 4 that he’s been busy co-producing Archuleta’s newest album. "We were frantic to get it all done before he went on his LDS mission," Bestor said. Archuleta is believed to have been assigned to a South American mission in Chile. Bestor says the two worked together right up until the night before Archuleta left. "I have to say I was a little hesitant to do it," Bestor admitted, "but now that I have had a chance to work with him for that intense three weeks. The kid's amazing. The kid is really kind of a phenom and I don't think people really realize it." Bestor says the result will be an 11 song CD to be released in June or July. Bestor, a Grammy nominated musician, says it will contain amazing songs, ones that people will know and love www.abc4.com/mostpopular/story/EXCLUSIVE-David-Archuleta-and-Kurt-Bestor-team-up/fn-UUskiFkO8cpyl_zvC2Q.cspxThe International Kapatid network seems to be making some headway. They put two Nandito Ako related videos on their Youtube channel. I'm hoping new countries that get the network on cable will also get to see Nandito Ako. That could mean more sales for the Forevermore album too. The global trailer focuses on David

Oh wow, I haven't been keeping up with David at all for a while now. I just found out about Forevermore and had no idea he was also releasing a new US album this year. Glad that Forevermore is doing so well!

Yeah - David worked so hard to leave new stuff for fans, right through the day before his mission. Also - don't know if I mentioned he reached 1 million @davidarchie twitter followers on May 4, about 1 month into his mission. Fans including me took advantage of Nandito Ako, Forevermore and other buzz's comment sections to mention his twitter ID. And he's been putting on 3-4K followers per day lately.
I haven't checked but I heard Forevermore got pulled from iTunes, at least in the US. I know mymusicstore sells the MP3s of the album and tracks to anyone for less money so that may have caused an issue. (http://opm.mymusicstore.com.ph/ for non-Filipinos, take the opm off for within Philippines). David's Rainbow and Forevermore are still the opt selling tracks at the opm. site for international purchasers. Too bad it's not on iTunes though.

I don't see it on the actual Billboard charts and Billboard doesn't even have the album listed under his name yet but... Two news articles (MTV and 1 other) said BEGIN opened at #28 on the Billboard 200 w/ 11,000 sales www.mtv.com/news/articles/1691800/rick-ross-now-billboard-charts.jhtml(and note - many peoples preorders from Deseret haven't shipped yet) And @idolsnow tweeted BEGIN. opened at #5 Independent album and #3 Top Internet Albums

Yes - I was thrilled it made a Top 30 debut and #5 on Independent Albums
Note - rumor Sony Malaysia will be releasing BEGIN in SE Asia. They are also the ones who released the Asian Tour Edition of The Other Side of Down in 2011.
and now...

BRAND NEW - Official music video just released for Everybody Hurts

This is the description under the video on Youtube (video is posted in my previous post) David performs the REM classic "Everybody Hurts" with an orchestra which includes producer Kurt Bestor. The shots of David were recorded in a studio the day before he left on his mission. "I hope you know that I never wanted to leave you guys without music, and will continue when I get back." - David Archuleta BEGIN. now available at iTunes bit.ly/NsRdDD and at Deseret Book bit.ly/N5Lk8F--- Me again -- the CD is also available at most major online places and in some Walmarts, plus a couple of chain in SE Asia imported it for sale, though it now sounds like Sony Malaysia will be publishing it in Asia. Also, all of the acted scenes in the video seem to have been shot just for the video - one fansite had behind-the-scenes photos.

A new/old leaked song that was never released. I am guessing it was recorded for TOSOD before David changed direction on the album. Kari said David had a hand in writing it. I believe she wants us to just enjoy it since the leak can't be undone. I really like it. It sounds like a radio song but I like it a lot and it has a good hook. And his voice sounds great. In other news - rumors a re-mixed Forevermore album will be released. And we are still awaiting the Rainbow video. Also - Elder Archuleta accompanied by Elder Coello had a mostly private concert for his mission, the area Mormon youth group and their invitees. David spoke only in Spanish and sang a number of Spanish hymns followed by a mix of classic Spanish pop as well as Dixie, Eye of the Tiger, Everybody Hurts and Imagine.

News - there will be a release of an Expanded version of Forevermore. I imagine it will include the faster recording and mix of Rainbow which is being used for the Rainbow video. And the Pinoy fans believe it will also come with a DVD of the videos. That's all I know so far. EDIT - We now know the additional content is the Rainbow remix, 4 additional music-minus-one tracks for a total of 7, and a DVD containing the 3 videos for the album. WOWHD has a preorder available. In other news, Elders Archuleta and Coello will be part of 4 church Christmas concerts at different locations near where his mission is. I'm so happy David is able to do some singing for people.

I haven't forgotten young David. His uniqueness is what stands him in good stead with fans. They will stick by him because he's one of a kind and they love him for it. Glad he's doing concerts for Christmas while on the mission. That certainly is one niche he fills better than any other contemporary singer.

Hi Praepos!
The Expanded Edition of Forevermore has been released and can be ordered at WOWHD. It includes the Rainbow Remix and 3 or 4 additional music-minus-one tracks for karaoke. There is also a DVD with the music videos for Forevermore, I'll Never Go and Rainbow Remix.
And for anyone who never saw the shorter broadcast version of David with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the choir just posted it. I think this may be all or part of the broadcast version shown on PBS in 2011. The CD and DVD version called Glad Christmas Tidings is longer and includes the whole concert (including David's Pastores a Belen and Silent Night which are not in the video). Watch on Youtube and you can make it larger or HD if you want. Beautiful video.

David was one of the singers in his area's LDS mission Christmas devocionals (four of them). The third one was outdoors and bigger, on the Temple square, and some audience members posted early videos. In addition, the concert was videotaped professionally and broadcast on a Mormon TV channel (international?) as well as streamed on the web but few knew about the stream until after the fact. Some of the better videos showing up later are from the show. O Holy Night in Spanish (I love this) <- I updated again to HD vid Los Pastores a Belen <- updated link to one with great audio www.youtube.com/watch?v=an76YhhZq0MAnd two duets with Rebecca Lopez The Prayer (Bocelli/Dion in English and Italian) <- updated to HD video -- gorgeous!! Noche de Luz (Silent Night in Spanish) www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuZwsemlQrIAnd new - an HD summary of the concert. Includes Rebecca Lopez, Lorena Reyes, and David Archuleta. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMShSnvDXogNow we've heard David sing 6 languages - English, Spanish, Latin, Tagalog, French (a bit) and Italian.

I love that album cover!
Also, it's crazy how we'd gotten 3 albums in less than 2 years, compared to the longer gap in between his first & second ones.
