- David Cook’s upcoming album was made available for pre-order, with “Light On” as an automatic download. That means it shot up the charts this week.

It climbs the Pop 100 – 57-51, Pop Airplay – 57-51 and Hot Adult Top 40 – 36-29 (it debuted their last week–HAC radio stations are picking up the song). “Time of My Life” continues to hold on to the #1 postion on Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks.
- Jennifer Hudson’s album Jennifer Hudson
remains in the Top 10 at #9 on the Billboard 200 and at #3 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Album. The single, “Spotlight” debuts on Rhythmic Top 40 at #38.
