So David Cook is the winner of the 2008 season of American Idol! It was an unexpected result, but a clear cut result at the end of the day, and David will now go on to release single “Time of my Life”.

This song was written by professional song writer Regie Hamm, and recorded by both David’s so that whichever one won, it could be released immediately.

We will be listing all of the various sites from which you can download or buy the American Idol CD on this site once we’ve tracked them down…

American Idol tracks, including the live performances seen on the actual show, are available to download from the Apple iTunes store until May 21st.

From an Apple publicity email: Each week, American Idol contestants go into the studio to record full-length versions of the songs you hear on the show—and the only place to get them is iTunes. You can also download performances from the show, exclusive music videos, compilation albums, American Idol alumni tracks, and more.
