February 5, 2011 at 1:18AM EST Reply to CommentCan't believe David Archuleta's Crush is not on the CD. It is one of the most popular singles of idol songs, selling 2,000,000 downloads. Break Away, Home, No Air and Crush are the most popular and well written songs among idol songs. AI doesn't know what they are doing, and always suffers the consequences of their own politics resulting in loss of money.
