Just one week after being named the winner of the seventh season of American Idol, 25-year-old David Cook rewrote chart history, with a record-breaking 14 debuts on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs survey. He also had 11 songs jump onto the Hot 100, the highest number of new entries ever, and the second-highest amount of simultaneous hits since the Beatles in 1964. All that, and his single, "The Time of My Life," instantly became the highest debuting title of 2008, entering the Hot 100 at No. 3. From Buy.com. Click on the image below for a preview.  
David Cook (2008) | Notes & Personnel Info |  | Personnel: Tim Pierce (guitar); Rob Cavallo (guitars, piano); Neal Tiemann (guitars); Jamie Muhoberac (piano, organ, keyboards); Paul Bushnell (bass instrument); Dorian Crozier (drums, programming). | | Audio Mixer: Chris Lord-Alge. | | In the epic David vs. David face-off at the end of AMERICAN IDOL's seventh season, teen pop sensation David Archuleta was decisively defeated by more experienced rock performer David Cook, who issued this 2008 self-titled debut a week after Archuleta's own album. Aided by a veritable army of veteran alt-rock songwriters, including Johnny Rzeznik (Goo Goo Dolls) and Raine Maida (Our Lady Peace), Cook shines brightest with "Light On," a soaring anthem co-penned by Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave). |
