David Cook to Have 11 Billboard Hot 100 Debuts

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.

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.

That's incredible. Here's the list of Cook's songs to debut on the Billboard Hot 100:

Cook's 11 Hot 100 entries (the top four are all top 40 debuts):

"The Time of My Life"
"Dream Big"
"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
"The World I Know"
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing"
"Billie Jean"
"Always Be My Baby"
"Hello"
"Music of the Night"
