His second single, "Fade Into Me," will be released to coincide with the tour. After winning the American Idol crown in Season 7, Cook went on to sell over one million copies of his self-titled debut album and tour nationwide during the year, supporting his multiple hit singles. Released November 18, 2008, David Cook (19 Recordings / RCA Records) entered the Billboard charts at #3 and the digital album charts at #1, marking the best debut from an American Idol winner since 2006. Collectively, the songs from David Cook have sold over two million tracks and ringtones combined. Cook's coronation single, "The Time of My Life" was certified platinum and is not only the biggest single debut, but the highest-selling coronation single in the show's history.

Gavin DeGraw will be performing new material from his highly anticipated fourth album, SWEETER, debuting September 20th on RCA Records. Entertainment Weekly describes the first single, "Not Over You," as "a soulful majestic ballad," and People Magazine declares the "hot single" as his "welcome return" to the airwaves. DeGraw first broke through with the 2003 release of his debut album, Chariot, which sold more than one million copies, earned platinum certification and yielded three hit singles: "I Don't Want To Be," "Follow Through" and the title-track, "Chariot." DeGraw's self-titled second album debuted at #1 on the digital sales chart and at #7 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart in 2008, earning him his first Top 10 album. It spawned the hit singles "In Love with a Girl," and the gold-certified "We Belong Together." In 2009, DeGraw released Free as a gift to die-hard fans clamoring for recorded versions of his live favorites. He recently toured with Maroon 5 and TRAIN, and has performed on-- and is scheduled to perform on-- numerous TV shows in support of the new album, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Live with Regis and Kelly, The Today Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live and more.
