Want to give Chris a Birthday gift?

Chris' Birthday - Donation to ONE
As many of you have, I have been trying to think what would be a good birthday present for Chris. But what can you give to Chris that hundreds of others won't and that will be really special to him?
When I thought about Christmas and how so many people do not have all that we have, I realized that was the answer.
Since the ONE organization means so much to Chris, consider making a donation to One as a birthday present for Chris. ONE emailed me that they do not have a way of donating on someone's behalf. But if you will email me with the amount of your donation and your name (or no name if you prefer), I will send a birthday card to Chris' addresses (the one given on DO and another that was posted) that a donation of $--- was made to One in his name on behalf of Daughtry Official and mrdaughtry.com who started this effort.
Here is the link to ONE:
http://store.one.org/donate.aspx
Reposted from Daughtry Official. Please visit the original thread there if you have any questions. Post to THAT thread, and send a message to DocHutch with the amount of the donation and your name for the card.
Here's the original thread: http://www.daughtryofficial.com/node/248061

Billboard Crowns 'Daughtry' Top Seller

NEW YORK (AP) — He may not have won "American Idol," but Chris Daughtry is the king of the album charts this year, according to Billboard. The "Idol" finalist's band, Daughtry, sold 3.2 million copies of their self-titled debut, making it the most popular album of the year, according to the trade magazine.

Daughtry one of Itunes top 5 sellers
|
|
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Maroon 5 and Fergie hold the top spots on iTunes' year-end sales roundup.
The online music store released its top-selling albums and singles Tuesday, though it declined to release actual sales figures.
Maroon 5's sophomore album, "It Won't Be Soon Before Long," was the No. 1 seller on the site, followed by Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" and Kanye West's "Graduation." Winehouse and West are also leaders heading into the 50th annual Grammy Awards — he has eight nominations, she has six.
Rounding out the top five best-selling albums were "American Idol" alum Chris Daughtry's band's self-titled debut, "Daughtry," and "Coco" by newcomer Colbie Caillat, who has the hit "Bubbly."
Fergie came in at first and fifth place in single sales. Her hit "Big Girls Don't Cry" was the top-selling single of the year for iTunes, while "Glamorous" finished in fifth. Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape" came in second place, followed by Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah" and Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend."

Daughtry's set on MLB.com
|
|
Platinum-selling rockers go acoustic on four-song set
• Daughtry performs 'All These Lives' 400K
• Daughtry performs 'Breakdown' 400K
• Daughtry performs 'It's Not Over' 400K
• MLB.com/Entertainment
Daughtry is quickly becoming one of the most popular live acts in rock, and the band members also happen to be huge baseball fans. Putting the two passions together, it was a no-brainer to have them in the MLB.com studios recently to perform.
Hot on the heels of their platinum-selling, self-titled debut album, Daughtry has been packing concert halls all over the country with its brand of infectious, hard-rocking pop featuring the lead vocals of Chris Daughtry.
They brought that energy, enthusiasm and talent to MLB.com, where they kicked back and did acoustic versions of four hit songs -- "It's Not Over," "Breakdown," "All These Lives" and "Home" -- that we'll be breaking out on the site over the next four days.
"It's Not Over," the first single on Daughtry, went platinum in April, just as the baseball season was kicking into gear, and it's ranked in the Top 10 of best-selling digital songs in 2007. "It's Not Over" turned out to be an astute choice as the band's debut single, too. It garnered critical acclaim from Billboard magazine, which wrote that the song was "tight, focused and ready to rock your face off" and Entertainment Weekly called it "ridiculously catchy."
"Breakdown," with music and lyrics by Chris, is a slower ballad, a classic break-up song with some hope of reconciliation. "Well, it's not the time to break down," he sings. "It's not the time to break up this love/Keep it together now." Chris often plays this one alone with an acoustic guitar in a live setting, allowing his powerful voice to be heard more clearly than when he's rocking out with the band.
"All These Lives" shows the depth of Chris' writing, with the slowed-down song, also often performed solo and acoustic in concert, dealing with the horrifying subject of child abduction.
"Home," the second single off of Daughtry, gained quite a bit of fame by being the song played on the sixth season of "American Idol" when contestants were voted off, and it peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Chris actually wrote the song the day before he left his North Carolina home to embark on the "American Idol" journey that eventually made him a household name to music fans everywhere.
Note: OK..... thought I put this one up almost 2 weeks ago, but apparently not. I KNOW they're not talkin about Chris when they say that the band members are huge baseball fans. LOL

Daughtry up for 4 Grammys
|
|
Well out of the 11 entries, Daughtry has received nominations for 4 Grammys. There's nothing we can do to help with this one. We voted the boys to 3 AMAs, and the voting for The People's Choice Awards has ended. Now we just have to wait and see what happens.
Daughtry is nominated for :
Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals: "Home"
Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals: "It's Not Over"
Best Rock Song: "It's Not Over"
Best Rock Album: DAUGHTRY
You can check who they're up against here: Grammy nominations
Although I'm ecstatic with 4 nominations, I'm shocked that they didn't nab a nomination for Best New Artist. Then I read the criteria "(For a new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist.)"... SO technically Daughtry wasn't released in 2007.
Howard Benson, the producer of Daughtry is also up for a producer's award. Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. Let's wish him luck as well.
Howard Benson
• Daughtry (Daughtry) (A)
• Devils & Angels (Mêlée) (A)
• Direction (The Starting Line) (A)
• Five Score And Seven Years Ago (Relient K) (A)
• Stay Inside (Sound The Alarm) (A)
