Archuleta considers this a particular honor because Billboard is "not just some teen website." Archuleta checks Billboard regularly and reads the magazine. And given Underwood's success, he was surprised and flattered
to have received more votes.

"It's crazy," he says. "Carrie's just so successful. She's sold millions and millions of albums and she has a great voice and a great personality."

David Archuleta Named Billboard's Best American Idol Ever: Objective vs. Subjective

From an objective standpoint, Archuleta doesn't have the record sales of Underwood or Chris Daughtry, an Oscar like Jennifer Hudson, or the time-tested longevity of Kelly Clarkson. Yet that may just be a matter of time. David is still very young.

And in a way, Billboard actually makes the distinction between established success vs. subjective appeal. In another Billboard poll that measured album sales, individual song sales, and radio play, Kelly Clarkson came in first place followed by Carrie Underwood.

David Archuleta Named Billboard's Best American Idol Ever: Vocal and Musical Appeal

Still, it's easy to understand why Billboard's fans voted in droves for David Archuleta. While it may be tempting to write him off as a Disney teen, his appeal extends across all age groups. Teenagers, senior citizens, and adult contemporary audiences appreciate his sweet voice and genuinely humble demeanor.

Archuleta's voice, talent, and versatility will contribute to his ultimately longevity as an artist. His radio-friendly voice suits pop, adult contemporary, and even R&B. And he appeals to Spanish-speaking markets as well, as seen in Somos El Mundo (We are the World). And having seen him perform at last year's US Open finale, I can vouch that he sounds even more impressive live.

According to Billboard, David Archuleta's record sales are nearing the one million mark (as of April 2010) and his ticket sales have hit 3 million.

And to top it off, Archuleta is a genuinely nice guy, and it comes across not only in his interviews, but also in his charitable work. Archuleta is a spokesperson for Do Something.org, an organization helping teens who want to contribute to disaster relief
And in January, he participated in a weekend-long to raise money for earthquake victims in Haiti. He also provided MTV News with a soulful rendition of Kurt Bestor's Prayer for the Children, illustrating how much this cause meant to him.

With his talent, enormous potential, and sweet nature, it's no wonder Billboard fans named David Archuleta Best American Idol Ever.
