Daughtry has been appearing on daytime talk shows to promote their new album Leave This Town.  So far, I think they are doing a great job!

They are definitely keeping busy before they embark on their 2009 Club Tour which kicks off on August 2, 2009 in Orlando, Florida (click here for more dates!).
They were on the Today show earlier this week for the program’s Summer Concert Series where they sang their new single “No Surprise” along with older favorites “Home” and “It’s Not Over.”
They also performed on The View this morning where they sang “No Surprise” with some funky …read more

Daughtry new album, Leave This Town, drops today and I know people are really looking forward to it.  Their first effort was certified quadruple-platinum and earned them all kinds of awards so I’m hoping that this follow-up is at least as good.

From what I’ve heard, there aren’t really any surprises in terms of the album’s sound.  It feels like what you might expect from Daughtry so fans should be happy with it.
Here’s the tracklisting:

You Don’t Belong
No Surprise
Every Time You Turn Around
Life After You
What I Meant To Say
Open Up Your Eyes
September
Ghost Of Me
Learn My Lesson
Supernatural
Tennessee Line
Call Your Name

Last night, Daughtry, won in the "Favorite Pop/Rock Band/Group/Duo" category at the 2008 American Music Awards.  The band’s frontman is former American Idol contestant (season 5), Chris Daughtry.

I have to admit that I’m still amazed by the success and popularity of the band.  I know that Chris was a huge favorite on the show and I was so shocked when he was eliminated, leaving Elliott Yamin (3rd place), Katharine McPhee (runner-up) and Taylor Hicks (winner) to round out the top three spots.  He’s still going strong (the strongest of that season, for sure) and I’m …read more

Chris Daughtry’s group, Daughtry, and their first album “Daughtry” has reclaimed the #1 Billboard spot from Norah Jones.
In yet another week where no album sold more than 100,000 copies, Daughtry’s self-titled RCA debut flip-flops with Norah Jones’ “Not Too Late” (Blue Note) to reclaim the No. 1 position on The Billboard 200. The Daughtry album inched up 6.6% to sales of 90,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, scoring its second non-consecutive week at the top.

If you’re going to get knocked off the #1 spot, I’m sure Jennifer Hudson would prefer it to be by another American Idol. The Dreamgirls soundtrack has finally fallen off the #1 spot, but was replaced by Season 5 American Idol contestant, Chris Daughtry’s album “Daughtry”.
Here’s a break down of the current American Idol placements on the Billboard Top 100 Album’s List

#1 – Chris Daughtry: “Daughtry”
#2 – Jennifer Hudson: “Dreamgirls Motion Picture Soundtrack
#9 – Carrie Underwood: “Some Hearts”
#50 – Taylor Hicks: “Taylor Hicks”
#51 – Kellie Pickler: “Small Town Girl”
#66 – Fantasia: “Fantasia”

After listening to all of the songs available from Taylor Hicks on the AOL Sessions website, I also discovered that fellow American Idol, Chris Daughtry also has some selections available. I really thought Chris would win Season 5 of American Idol, but it just didn’t happen. I’m happy Taylor Hicks won, but surprised that more of the country didn’t vote and choose Chris Daughtry over Taylor in the end. I thought it would be Taylor, Katharine and Chris in the Top 3.
Here are the different videos that are available on the AOL Music Sessions site

What? You think this week is special just because we get to have some obscene amounts of turkey and other yummy foods? Not if you’re an Idol Stalker. If you’re one of us, then you know today is special for a whole other reason.
Today Chris Daughtry’s album is released and that my friends is something many of us can be thankful for right?

Chris Daughtry was recently quoted in an article on MTV.com to say that losing American Idol may have been the best thing for him.
“If I went out as ‘Chris Daughtry’ I would have been considered a pop artist, or I would have probably looked at myself that way,” explained the frontman of a new band simply called Daughtry. “My favorite artists are bands, and I wanted that. I wanted that group of guys that are real tight together. And it’s not about one person — it’s a group.”
Chris further answered the question in the article about why he still chose …read more
