Don't miss a very special Daughtry event, brought to you by MSN Control Room! (click the link for access)

Starting Thursday, May 22nd, at 2PM Eastern time (11AM Pacific), MSN Music will be broadcasting Daughtry's live performance from the Majestic Ventura Theater.

This special acoustic show was captured by Control Room at Daughtry's Ventura, California concert in early April, and is a 'can't miss.'

So be sure to check it out and then don't forget to come back by Daughtry Official to leave a comment and let your opinions be heard...or read, anyway.

You can also grab all new Wallpaper created to commemorate the event in Daughtry Official's Extras section!

Daughtry entered the record books one more time this week, when "Feels Like Tonight" became the band's third song to top the Billboard Singles Chart!

Not only are Daughtry the first group to produce 3 #1 hit singles from a debut album, they now join Nickleback as the only act to bank 3 #1s from a single album.

Daughtry's previous #1s were “It’s Not Over” and “Home.”

Congrats to the guys, and thanks to the fans for making it happen!

This is the latest blog from Chris Daughtry as the tour opening for Bon Jovi comes to a close. This is of course far from the end of the road, as Daughtry will be heading out for a tour of their own in August. We are all wishing them love, laughter, and happiness as they spend some much needed downtime decompressing and catching up with family and friends. Hopefully they'll be hitting the studio and making plans for the next CD to hit the shelves and make our eardrums happy. With a 4X Platinum debut CD, DAUGHTRY has a lot to live up to. Those of us that have been there since the beginning of Chris's journey to the halls of the Rock Gods are ready, willing, and able to get behind the next release and promote great music.

If you're reading this as a brand spanking new Daughtry fan... WELCOME! Daughtry loves new fans, and we all love new people to rehash all our concert experiences, Daughtry sightings, and fan games with. Registration to this site is free, and if you post an introduction in the forum, we won't bite. (Unless you're into that kind of thing.)

To the regulars.......... we're going to have to come up with some new games or something until August. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!! I know the boys need the rest, but what do we do without them?

End of the road.........for now.

Hey yall! The Bon Jovi tour is over! Joey and I are on the way home now from Atlanta. It's been an amazing tour for us. Thank you all for coming out and supporting us. We NEVER felt like an opening act out there, with all you guys singing every song with us. We felt the love for sure, so thank you for making it great for us. I wanna thank Jon for having me out there singing Blaze with him.....I'm gonna miss that. Also, thank you all for buying our record..... and getting others to buy it as well. 4 MILLION BABY!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! We have the best fans in world.
On a side note, you gotta check out a couple albums for me.
The new Sevendust album Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow ( I do a song on there called The Past). If you haven't bought it yet, please do. They are great friends of mine and a band I've loved and respected for a long time.
Also the new Theory Of A Deadman album Scars and Souvenirs. B-Crad and I co-wrote a song on there called By The Way. Please go check it out. Awesome band.
That's it for now. I'll see ya on the road! Much love and God bless!-CD

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!!!!

Daughtry has made a studio recording of their acoustic performance of "What About Now" that you can download for 99 cents. The proceeds from this download are going to www.one.org. You can also download the video of their Idol Gives Back experience for only $1.99.

Download one, download both. Tell your friends, tell your enemies.

If you'd like to hear this version, you registered users can find it in the music player on the home page. It's a kick ass acoustic version. The vocals are dead on, the music is moody and meaningful, and it's not studio musicians. It's even more powerful to watch the video and see Chris Daughtry, Joey Barnes, and Josh Steely lend their hands, their talent, their hearts, and their voice to this cause.

$1 is NOTHING people. You can't buy a decent coffee for $1, but you CAN make a difference. If you have the money..... gift this to a few friends too. It'll make them happy, it'll do some good for those that have probably never even SEEN an ipod..... and if you gift it selectively, you'll improve some people's taste in music. You really can't ask for anything more. Download it TODAY.... in fact, What About Now?????

Here's the clip of Daughtry's experience from Idol Gives Back. Chris Daughtry, Joey Barnes, and Josh Steely reach out to those living in Uganda.

This is a place where something as simple as clean drinking water is seen as a blessing. Malaria is one of the number one killers, as is AIDS running rampant through the population. For those that watched the entire Idol episode, I hope you had your kleenex ready. For those that missed it, here is Brad Pitt introducing the video of Daughtry's experience.

For more information on the ONE Campaign, please visit www.one.org.

For those that missed it, were at work, or just thought it was amazing and want to watch again; here Daughtry's April 8th performance on Ellen with the African Children's Choir. This is to tie in with Idol Gives Back and the ONE campaign. For more information visit www.ONE.org. Don't forget to watch Idol Gives Back tomorrow night on FOX.

The Hot 5 - April 6

Daughtry. There are boatloads of people who dismiss the music machine that is "American Idol," so former finalists like Daughtry's eponymous lead singer might feel like they've got something to prove. How about proving it by handily opening for one of the country's longest-running and most successful big stadium acts? Daughtry is on tour opening for Bon Jovi's "Lost Highway" tour, which was in Denver this week, and the band rocked it. Even the thirty- and fortysomething mom types who were clearly there to relive their big-hair-days glory were throwing up their hands and singing along. Chris Daughtry is a charismatic lead singer, and bassist Josh Paul is almost as fun to watch as Flea.
