Thousands of fans are showing David Cook – the newly crowned “American Idol” winner – their love by giving him four out of five spots on iTunes’ list of Top Songs.

Although Coldplay’s latest single, “Viva la Vida,” is hogging the No. 3 spot, Cook’s victory song “The Time of My Life” sits on top in the No. 1 spot. Other songs that Cook sang on the show, “Dream Big”, “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” and “The World I Know” round up another four spots.

The 25-year-old instant star says he hopes to make an original album that will “make the hair on your neck stand up.”

“I think it’s going to be a mixture of my writing and hopefully writing with other people. I just want to come out of the gate with a solid record,” he told reporters in a conference call Friday.

Cook plans to start on his debut album after the three-month “American Idol Live Tour” wraps up in the end of the summer.
