David Cook Bests Miley Cyrus for Billboard Record

MyFox Kansas City - Kansas City, MO, USA - American Idol, and Kansas City's own, David Cook is better than Miley Cyrus. At least, that's according to their Billboard Hot 100 debuts.

According to Billboard.com, Cook's debut of entries into the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Digital Songs sets a record previously held by Hannah Montana herself, or Miley Cyrus.

Cook has 11 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and 14 songs on the Hot Digital Songs lists. His takeover of the charts includes the number three slot for "The Time of My Life" on the Hot 100 list and the same song takes the number one spot on the downloads list with 236,000 downloads.

Cyrus' previously held record debut was in November 2006 when she placed six songs on the list. Cook's 11 songs on the Hot 100 chart are the most in a week by any artist in the Nielsen Music era which started in December 1991, according to Billboard.com.

Billboard also reports that Cook's debut album is due in the fall.
