From David’s Official Site:

Hey Everyone,

We’d like you all to be the first to know that the release date for “The Other Side of Down” has changed. It will now be coming on October 5th. Like the last time we dealt with a date change, this one is definitely for the best. David would like to make sure he’s delivering the best possible album and he needs just a little more time to do it. So please get ready for the 5th, and if you pre-ordered the album, your order will stay in our system, it will just ship on October 5th. If you haven’t yet, make sure to pre-order “The Other Side of Down” in David’s official store.

DBB is gifting 50 copies of the DELUXE CD + DVD album worth US$14.99 and 5 copies of the FAN EDITION album worth US$30.99 to fans world-wide who are unable to purchase the album themselves. We are calling for fans to gift and to apply to be gifted. All the details are found here: http://davidbeyondborders.com/gifting.

Also, there are about 25 fans from Asia and Latin America who would love to receive a copy of ‘Chords of Strength’. To see how to gift COS, visit http://davidbeyondborders.com/dbb_blog/gifting/cos-gifting/
We will be closing our COS Gifting program on July 29.

From USA Today/Idol Chatter:

David Archuleta’s new single, Something ‘Bout Love, makes its debut on Nielsen SoundScan’s list of top-selling digital tracks this week, with 21,000 downloads. The only two Idol tracks that had better weeks were Carrie Underwood’s Undo It and Adam Lambert’s If I Had You.

Congrats, David!

“The Other Side of Down” is now available for pre-order via Amazon.com with the scheduled release date as September 14th! No album artwork is up yet on Amazon, but we’ll keep you posted if something comes up.

Update: David WON! Way to go North Carolina fans!

S’BL is against MIA’s “XXXO” for a North Carolina station, Z107.5 New Music Knockout! He beat Ciara’s “Gimme Dat” last night by FIVE VOTES.

From Z107.5’s Facebook:

251-1075 is the number, again. You can listen live by clicking here! Thanks Snarky Archies.

From AFS (Gainesville, FL challenge):

“Something ‘Bout Love” by David Archuleta won yet again in KISS 105.3 FM’s Power Plays Challenge. He won against Five for Fighting’s “Slice.” This makes it 5 wins in a row! Tonight will be Round 6. Whichever song is the first to get 5 votes will be declared the winner. So Florida fans, be ready. He needs this win to help promote his single which is on sale starting today! Listen to last night’s challenge by clicking here.

From ArchieRX/Snarkies:

Something ‘Bout Love is now on AllAccess

Here is what that means, as explained by my friend:

AllAccess is the definitive site for radio adds, etc. It’s powered by Play MPE, which is the digital distribution for songs to stations. Up until now, it’s not been on AllAccess, which most likely means that none of the stations had it digitally delivered yet, which helps to explain why they haven’t been playing it. It had been sent by Jive to some stations on a promo disc, so stations that played it had to rip a copy. Now they have digital copies.

Check it out here – they are alphabetically listed and SBL is in the Top 40/Cool New Music section.
