David Cook Sizzles With Record Chart Debuts
May 28, 2008 - Rock and Pop | Digital and Mobile

By Silvio Pietroluongo, N.Y.

Season seven "American Idol" champion David Cook will set a record for debut entries on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Digital Songs tomorrow as 11 titles enter the former, while 14 songs jump on the download tally. The onslaught is led by a No. 3 Hot 100 start for his original recording "The Time of My Life," which shifts 236,000 downloads to easily take the No. 1 spot on Hot Digital Songs.

"Idol" runner-up David Archuleta lands three songs on both charts, led by his cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" (No. 36 Hot 100, No. 16 on Hot Digital Songs, 71,000).

Cook's takeover of the Hot 100 shatters the mark for debuts set by Miley Cyrus (as Hannah Montana) in the Nov. 11, 2006, issue, when she placed six new titles on the list. The 11 songs on the chart are the most in a week by any artist in the Nielsen Music era, which began in December 1991 when the chart converted to Nielsen BDS and Nielsen SoundScan data.

His haul also marks the most placements on the list since the Beatles charted 14 songs on the Hot 100 in the week of April 11, 1964.

The 14 tracks on Hot Digital Songs also gives Cook a record for debuts and total songs on that three-year-old chart, besting Hannah Montana's total output (8) on the Nov. 11, 2006 chart, and Bon Jovi's six debuts in the May 19, 2007, issue.

This is the first week of the 2008 season that "American Idol" downloads counted toward Billboard's charts. In cooperation with the show's producers, Apple withheld reporting iTunes sales of those songs until the week of the final episode.

Cook's debut album for 19 Recordings/RCA is due in the fall.

Movie actors like Paul Newman, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall and Bette Davis make me want to live in the era they lived but I could have been just as inspired even now while I watch their work in films.

It's season 2 finalist Kimberly Caldwell (top 7 finisher). She has a couple of shows on TV. I actually like her. She has a big voice, and David, you must not forget the songs she sang. "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)", "I Feel The Earth Move",  and "Knock On Wood", my favorite. Kimberly was also a 5 time junior vocalist winner on "Star Search" with Ed Mcmahon.

They would make a great-looking couple, I thought, with genuine interests in (rock) music. I love the idea of a Cook and Caldwell pairing. Kim is "a very pretty girl", according to Larry King. Cook is in luck. Get it on, kids!! Watch the clip below.

I find this pairing really nice. Kim seems to be a very great, outgoing person, and David seems really interested in her. Good luck with you guys!

ALL YOU HATERS AND BASHERS, TAKE HEED!!!

David Cook's Billboard success nearly matches The Beatles

Like it or not, "American Idol" season seven champion David Cook is off to an impressive start with 11 songs entering Billboard's Hot 100 chart this week, and 14 songs enter the magazine's Hot Digital Songs, both records. Billboard notes that the Hot 100 placing is the most any artist has enjoyed on that chart since The Beatles scored 14 hits in 1964. Cook's record is the first in Billboard's Nielson Soundscan "era" (i.e. since 1991) and shatters Miley Cyrus's 6-song debut in November 2006. Cook's digital debut is also a record and beats out Cyrus again. According to Billboard, Apple Inc. 's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iTunes Store withheld reporting digital sales until the show had ended.

Cook is also ready to enter the studio, according to E! Online. The winner signed to RCA Records, a Sony BMG label, and 19 Recordings for a new album in the fall. E! erroneously calls the new album Cook's "debut", when he released an independent album in 2006, but that album and its songs were pulled from Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) as he worked his way through "American Idol" competition.

Simon Fuller, "American Idol" creator, told E! that he "honestly believes that David has the potential to go on to become one of the most successful Idols of all time." If early success and an independent album can hold fans until the fall, then Cook will certainly enjoy a huge release. Regardless, "American Idol" winners and finalists albums always seem to do well at first. It's only later that they lose steam or interest from their supposed fans. Still though, 11 chart debuts is impressive and Cook may never be in the same league as The Beatles, but his success may well come close to duplicating the Fab Four.
