Another gem from Kim, our banner picture feature photographer! David Archuleta in Hershey, PA Summer 2009!

More on FOD’s new Holiday look!

Just wanted to take another moment to thank Nat one more time for designing the bright, happy, snowy, festive look for FOD this holiday season!

Last night, I didn’t have the name of our fan photographer whose picture is featured in the banner.  This morning I do!  Drumroll………..

KIMMIE!!

Check out some of the pictures from Hershey that Kimmie shared with FOD to share with all of you:

Charts!

OK…I love that I have to keep updating this!  David Archuleta’s Christmas from the Heart has moved up on iTunes overnight AND on the Billboard 200 chart this week!  GG posts these in the comments almost daily, but I’ll bring them up here as well!

iTunes

Billboard Top 200

Look for some party crashers next week on this chart (John Mayer, Norah Jones, Justin Bieber), but I like the upward momentum!  The little tiny star by his number indicates titles with the greatest gain in airplay and sales this week.  Guess what?  Archie’s got a little little tiny star!!

I highly suggest you head over there, click on David and launch the “visualizer.”  It’s a really cool tool to give you an idea of where “David Archuleta,” “Crush” and “Christmas from the Heart” have been and are going on the charts.  *Worst sentence ever*

Stadium of Fire, 2010!  VOTE!

Click to vote for David as the Stadium of Fire performer at the July 4th Celebration!  He’s got some stiff competition:  Carrie, Bon Jovi, Taylor Swift.  Of course, they still don’t have the spelling of his name correct, but we’ll overlook it.

Just a bit on Billboard Live show!

I’m SO excited about the David Archuleta Billboard Live show on December 17th! David Burger from the Salt Lake Tribune wrote a quick blurb.

By the way, Daughtry’s Billboard Live concert is tonight.  Click HERE to watch at 8:30 pm ET. It would be a great dry run for David’s show.  You can make sure you have all of the downloaded technology and are set to go next month!

John Mayer Beacon Theater Show Buzz!

David and Kris Allen were the two headliners mentioned on PEOPLE.COM as attendees at the John Mayer Beacon Theater Show Tuesday night!  Ya…still squeeing…

American Idol’s Kris Allen and David Archuleta caught John Mayer’s intimate show at New York’s Beacon Theater in person. (The concert also aired live on Fuse.) Meanwhile, Aeromsith’s Steven Tyler was also there, sitting 20 rows back in the orchestra, with his girlfriend Erin Brady. The rocker greeted dozens of fans who approached him. “Steven was having fun, getting into John’s music, and loving the attention from his fans,” says a source.

Help keep Christmas from the Heart on Taiwanese Radio!

Gengen needs our help!  She’s the tireless webmaster/founder of David’s largest Taiwanese Fansite.  She needs our help with some voting.  Read what she has to say and let’s DO THIS!

iradio belongs to one of the biggest radio groups in Taiwan. Fortunately, Christmas from the Heart is included in their “Western Music” weekly countdown chart. They will broadcast the top five every Saturday night from 10:00pm to 12:00.  So the winners get radio spins which means exposure of course.  Here is where we need your help.  Voting is very easy.  You don’t need to register or sign in. Everyone can vote three times in a week, once every 24 hours. But since everything is in Chinese, we need a little instructions here.  Below are step-by-step guidelines of how to vote.  We need votes to get David’s christmas album played in Taiwan, so more new fans can be recruited.  Thank you very much.
