So Based on David Cookà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s numbers so far, he has sold more in 3 weeks than Bo,Diana, Kat, Blake and Jordin sold in total?

Yes.

Also, I heard that the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Time of My Lifeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  will be on his first album, but I am curious if Cookà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s newer version (the version he sang on Leno) or this one will be on the first album.

That’s a good question. The current version was recorded quickly, perhaps he will re-record it.

I think its pretty impressive that Cook's song à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Time of My Lifeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  has sold 479,111 downloads, and I think it is safe to assume that this song will hit gold soon.

My count was a little different from those numbers:

Week one — 944000
Week two — 239000
Week three — 80000
Total — 1,263,000

Still impressive, especially given that a lot of people had already bought copies of his older stuff like Billie Jean and ABMB before the first week of reporting.

He sold another 364,000 downloads the following week. He sold another 80,000 copies of Time of My Life this week, so his total since his coronation week is 1,525,000. That's impressive.

That’s impressive.

He sold lots of downloads and I Believe his ersatz coronation song In This Moment (the original song chosen for the final competition night) sold 61 K or more. His total downloads for the two weeks after the finale was 321K. The massive amounts of downloads for the idols in the preceding weeks probably negated the need for a coronation single for Archie. He's lucky, though, they could have released the cheesy In This Moment. Instead, he will hopefully have a radio-friendly single that hits the pop charts.

I think they should have. It gives the fans something until the album comes out, at the very least. I can't imagine why they decided to do things differently this year.

Their singles were not available for digital download. I haven't checked but they are most likely still not for sale digitally to count for added single sales since 2003.
