David Cook Single ‘Light On’ Now Certified Platinum

Congrats to Season 7 Idol winner, David Cook. His single, “Light On” was recently certified platinum by the RIAA.

The single hit the 1M sales mark back in September, making it eligible for certification.

“Light On” was the first single off of David’s platinum-selling album David Cook. It was co-written by Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave) and Brian Howes.

The song debuted at #17 on the Hot 100 and #8 on the Hot Digital tracks chart when it was released in October, 2008.  It peaked at #4 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart in February 2009.

“Light On” is David’s second platinum single. The first? His coronation single, “The Time Of My Life” or, as it’s affectionately known–Magic Rainbows! Ha.

David finished his marathon Declaration tour late last year, and is currently writing songs for a new record due later in 2010.
