What about for TOML?

LO and Crush are apples and oranges. You have to compare Archie's next single to LO.

Right. You can't compare these two songs this way, because Crush is in its 13th week on the charts, and Light on is only its 5th week. Of course Archie is going to have more spins, and be farther up the chart at that point. If you compared Light On when its in its 13th week, with Archie's new song in its 5th week, you'd see the numbers above, (relatively) reversed. At it is, its just misleading. You would have to compare Light On in its fifth week to Crush in its 5th week to make any kind of reasonable comparison.

I'm not comparing either song. I'm just post the songs progression over time. I lost my link for TOML, when Mediabase shut down this summer. Currently Archie's new single has no airplay.

Not you specifically, just in general. You can't really compare a 1st and a 2nd single, it's not the same thing. You'd have to compare TOML and Crush and then when they release the 2nd single for Archie, that with LO.

Crush and LO are the official 1st singles. So those will always be the judging point for these albums.

That's not technically true. TOML is his first single. It's on the album as a bonus track (at least it was on that Brit sight with the clips of the songs.)

For Billboards purpose this is the 1st single, just like Miss Independent, Jesus Takes the Wheel, and It's Not Over. Whether the fans fell different has nothing to do with the music reporting industry.

Why is this his 1st single for Billboard's purposes? TOML charted, no?

The winner's single always sells well, no matter who the winner is. Look at the sales for Taylor's winner's single compared to what he had with the rest of his singles.

Yes, the coronation single always gets a huge boost from being featured on the show. But LO is officially the first single since its representative of Cook's first album. TOML is wholy Idol connected. Looks like TOML will go platinum very soon as will Crush (probably in about 2-3 weeks). I think Taylor's first single was Runaround or did he even officially get one?

that doesn't make sense. TOML charted. It's on the album.....thus it's the 1st single. Or am I missing something important??

It doesn't matter if it charted. Billboards press release calls LO the 1st single. TOML will be compared to other Idol coronations songs.

Most fans didn't even want this song to be on the album a few months ago, now you wanted counted as a 1st single? Did I miss something?

Good point. That's why TOML sold close to 400K downloads its first two weeks while LO is nowhere near that after a month. Nothing compares to the audience that the finale of AI get. If LO wasn't underperforming, this wouldn't be an issue. However, comparisons of TOML and Crush will be dicey as well since Crush will go platinum quicker than TOML and probably sell more downloads in the end. (and that's without the Idol audience, Oprah, Olympics, etc.) However, I think if Declaration is Cook's next single, it will do well.

I never said I didn't want it on the album. I think it's important that it's on the album and I said it should be a bonus track like Carrie's IYH and it is.
