Meanwhile, runner-up David Archuleta will join the Jive label for his album debut, coming sometimes this summer. Going against tradition, a single from the second place finisher will not be released until close to the full-length release date. (5/22p) http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/rumormill.cgi

Some people on the scary boards are questioning Archuleta's release date. The winner usually releases their album in November so for Archuleta's album to be released this summer during the tour is suspect. He should not be allowed to released his album before David Cook imo. As for what the scaries are questioning. They think plans were already in motion for Archuleta to be signed and he already has a whole album or part of an album recorded (when would he have time to record a whole album and have it released during the tour otherwise is the argument) and that they just put him on AI to build up a fanbase. They think he was a ringer from day 1 and not a real contestant. Thoughts anyone?

Just like Jordin released Tattoo in August. I highly doubt his album is recorded and ready to go. Cook should release his album first or there's no point in winning.

Wasn't there something that since his Imagine performance that he was getting songs then? I'm just excited to hear his c.d., I'm definitely buying it and I can't wait even moreso for Cookie's. Archie and Cookie <3.

There's no way in hell he should be allowed to release his album before the winner. Just like everyone else the 2nd place contestant lost and should have to wait for the winner to go first just like everyone else. It's a perk to winning and it should not be taken away. I don't wish failure on Archuleta but I'll be really pissed off if I find out anything rotten was going on behind the scenes and there has been plans for Archuleta's CD in the works since before the competition even began and he was just a ringer. At this point I don't believe that's true though.

Personally, I wouldn't ever buy a DA album, and while I can't wait for Cook's I have no problem waiting until he has what he thinks he needs to make it a success. What don't I know about album release order because I don't see the problem?

Oh, wait, this is AI we're talking about. The Real Thing stunk (stank?) and I only bought it to help him out. Bet I only listened to it twice.

What is the point of winning the competition if you don't even get to release your album first. You got chosen. People liked Archuleta to and he earned second and deserves a record contract, but he should not get to put his product out there first. He working with Ryan Tedder, Dianne Warren, etc. - the usual AI hacks. You may think Ryan Tedder is "the usual AI hack" but facts are facts. He clearly knows how to craft a hit. He's very talented and popular. I'm glad he's working with Cook. I don't know if you've listening to David Cook's solo album Analog Heart or OneRepublic's album "Dreaming Out Loud" but the styles are quite similar. Cook's is a bit edgier with more electric but the songwriting and the sound of their style of music isn't totally opposite. Cook and Tedder writing music together should produce an excellent product.

It may not define him as an artist, but if it's successful he will be able to do something on his own soon enough.

I wish it was Cookie=summer and Archie=fall release to be honest but meh. I'm buying both too maze, I think we might be the few who will get both.

If Archuleta won I'd feel the same way. It's a perk of being a winner. Okay and I have a question has anyone listened to OneRepublic's album? Ryan Tedder is very talented. Yes he's written songs for Pop acts, but that's what he does, he's a songwriter. I think he will work very well with Cook and I think Cook fans should listen to Dreaming Out Loud (OneRepublic's album) and then form an opinion. Also compare it to Analog Heart. It has less of a rock edge, but it's not a polar opposite. I think Ryan will be able to write very well for Cook's style.

He was fine with it, or at least pretended to be. I'm pretty sure his fans were pissed, though, not that I really blame them.
