Cooking the Charts

After his final performance on Idol, David Cook's live recordings of Dream Big, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and The World I Know, took over the iTunes charts, knocking off top singles from Rihanna, and even Leona Lewis.

After he was announced the winner, Cook's winning single The Time of My Life, also went straight to number one and sold like hot pancakes.

But, that wasn't his greatest feat yet. Soon after, Cook debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 3 - one of the best achieved by an Idol.

And that's not all. Along with that number 3 song, he had 16 other songs on the chart. 11 of which were on the Top 100 list. Which means that, David Cook had a total of 17 songs on the US Billboard simultaneously, beating the record held by The Beatles which was 14 songs. ^^

I shudder to think how many albums he will sell. Hope it'll be an awesome debut. =D

A follow up of my previous post. Daughtry will be performing at One Utama, for the Sony Ericsson Traffic Jam event. Ticket prices have yet to be confirmed.

Rock princess (or whatever you call her nowadays) Avril Lavigne, will also be here in Malaysia. It's her one and only stop in Asia. ^^

Last but not least, the MTV Asia Awards will for the 1st time, be hosted in Malaysia. Jared Leto will be the emcee for the night and it will be held in Genting Highlands.
