The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has certified DAUGHTRY's self titled debut album 4x Platinum as of 4/24/08 .

This means that total sales of the CD have topped 4 MILLION. Pretty impressive considering the release date was 11/21/06. That's 17 months to sell 4 million. That's over 235,000 average sales per month. About 55,000 per week, almost 8,000 per DAY. Considering some artists don't sell 8,000 CDs per month, this is amazing.

I think most of us let out a collective gasp of disbelief when Chris Daughtry was "voted off" American Idol. We also cheered together when the CD had astounding first week sales, and went platinum within a month. Our little "plan" of holding on til after Idol and supporting whatever Chris put his heart, soul, and voice into has now taken on a life of it's own. With 4 million fans, we can rest assured that we'll have DAUGHTRY's rockin concerts and CDs for years to come.

CONGRATULATIONS DAUGHTRY!!!!
