David Cook’s self-titled debut cd has been certified platinum by the RIAA for sales exceeding 1 million units. American Idol Cook is set to kick off his first headline tour, "The Declaration Tour – 2009" in Tallahassee, FL on February 13th.

Released on November 18th, 2008, David Cook (19 Recordings / RCA Records) entered the Billboard charts at #3 and the digital album charts at #1, marking the best debut from an American Idol winner since 2006. Collectively the songs from David Cook have sold over 2 million tracks and ringtones combined. The first single, "Light On," dominated the AOL Top 40 radio chart with 8 (non-consecutive) weeks at #1 and is currently Top 10 at Hot AC radio and still growing. In late September "Light On" premiered on AOL Music's pop culture news site, PopEater.com, receiving over 1 million plays in less than a week.

Cook's coronation single, "The Time of My Life" recently went platinum, with over one million tracks sold. "The Time of My Life" is not only the biggest single debut but the highest selling coronation single in the show’s history. "The Time of My Life" also held the #1 position at mainstream AC radio for nearly 4 months straight. Cook is the 34th "American Idol" contestant to appear on a Billboard chart.

Cook kicked off 2009 by performing for troops during a USO tour. He visited seven different bases, singing songs off his self-titled album.
