The newly voted American Idol David Cook topped the iTunes download chart with his first single.

 
The newly voted American Idol David Cook topped the iTunes download chart with his first single, "The Time of My Life."

Just two days after winning Season 7 of "American Idol," Cook's song reached the No. 1 spot while the other three songs he sang on this week's finale closely follow.

"It'll probably be a rock record. I just want to make a record that's going to make the hair on your neck stand up. Even if it doesn't do well commercially, as long as I can put out a record I am proud of — that's the goal right now. And hopefully the success will follow,"Cook tells Reuters.

The last rocker to be launched by "Idol" was Chris Daughtry, who came in fourth two years ago. Since then, his band Daughtry has released a self-titled album which sold over 4 million copies and netted them four Grammy nods.
