David Archuleta davidsidol.jpg David Archuleta might have come up short against David Cook on American Idol this year - but he's scoring some sweet revenge on the Billboard charts!

This season's runner-up debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #2 (and #1 on the Hot Digital Songs list) after moving a staggering 166,000 copies of "Crush", his first post-Idol single. By contrast, Cook - whose own chart debut broke a couple of records set by the Beatles - couldn't chart any higher than #3 his first time around!

As a result of his Billboard victory over Cook, Archuleta becomes only the second runner-up in Idol history to outperform the season's winner. (Clay Aiken was the first way back in 2003, when "This Is The Night" beat out winner Ruben Studdard's "Flying Without Wings" for the #1 spot on the Hot 100.)

Of course, with both Davids' debut albums set to drop this fall, this battle's a long way from over - who you got?
