One of the youngest participants on American Idol, David Archuleta was only 16 when he placed second on the seventh season. The baby-faced Archuleta has released three full-length albums since finishing second on "Idol" season seven, with his most recent release, "The Other Side of Down," debuting in 2010 at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 chart. Things have been quiet for the singer of "Crush" -- a No. 2 hit on the Hot 100 -- in recent months, and are only going to get quieter: In December, Archuleta announced he would take a two-year sabbatical from music in order to become a missionary for the Mormon church.
