THE TIME OF MY LIFE ~ BY DAVID COOK

"The Time of My Life" was the coronation song and the debut single for the winner of the seventh season of American Idol, David Cook. The song is the winner out of thousands of entries for the 2008 American Idol Songwriter's Competition, and was written by Regie Hamm. It was released as Cook's first single exclusively on iTunes on May 22, 2008. The next day, it was made available at all digital retailers. The song was sent to the radio stations following the end of the airing of American Idol finale in Hawaii. In the U.S. the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number three with 236,000 copies sold in its first week of release. These figures give it the strongest first week sales of an Idol coronation single since season 2. The RIAA certified "The Time of My Life" platinum on December 12, 2008 for selling over 1 million digital downloads, making it the third platinum-selling coronation song for an American Idol winner, after Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This" and Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven".
