It's a small part and he will be playing himself, but many many David Archuleta fans are likely to celebrate when last year's American Idol runner-up makes his acting debut on Nickelodeon's iCarly February 7, 2009. He will appear as a contestant on an American Idol style show titled America Sings. Carly Shay, the main character in the show, is also a teenage singer.
Archuleta has had strong success in the pop music world since the end of the American Idol competition. His self-titled debut album reached #2 on the US album chart and has been certified gold for sales over 500,000. His single "Crush" reached #12 on the pop singles chart in the US.

Awesome!!! I can’t wait to see David Archuleta on iCarly. David’s first album is really good. He has an amazing talent.
Can’t wait to see our “Crown Prince” on iCarly!! Some added info about David’s upcoming tour –
The venues in Sayreville, Phoenix, Madison and Chicago for David Archuleta’s tour are sold out. The House of Blues in Chicago sold out in *15* minutes, Madison sold out in 45 minutes….
WOAHHH! So excited to be seeing him in Virginia Beach! Lotta love for this guy – this is a thrill and a treat to have him on tour!
Yay, there’s nothing better than seeing David’s adorable face on big screen HGTV! Can’t wait to see him live at his concerts!
Congradulations Brother Archuleta!
I can’t believe what a awsome job you are doing! You are the most amazing American Idol I have ever seen and I am waiting to see if you will come to Wichita and show the people that don’t know how awsome you are what a amazing voice you have!
Way to go David!
What was on HGTV? Oh, also, woo-hoo David A. solo tour! See ya in Mad-Town, WI..
“Crush” actually reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Gosh…I wish they would’ve got the article correct! “Crush” was #2, not #12 on the billboard chart! Oh well…WE know what He did! I couldn’t be happier for David and his Family. Having David go on his OWN solo tour is exciting for him and for us. I couldn’t make Chicago, but Columbus, Ohio here we come! GO BIG D!!!!!!!!!!
“Crush” reached #12 on the Billboard Pop 100, which is Billboard’s pop singles chart as mentioned in the article. The Billboard Hot 100 is a “catch all” chart not specifically pop. More here http://top40.about.com/od/popmusic101/a/billboardcharts.htm
