Chart Roundup: Chris Daughtry = Least Shitty American Idol-Ish Person Ever?

11/29/06, 5:57 pm EST

Chris Daughtry

Mass pumpkin pie consumption apparently induces a national record buying binge, benefiting, in this case, Idol alum Chris Daughtry who sold an intense 303,677 copies of his debut album Daughtry this week, landing him at the #2 spot on the charts. To be fair to the Beatles and Snoop (whose records came in behind Daughtry at number four and five respectively,) this post-Thanksgiving shopping week was good for everybody and anybody.

Jay-Z debuted almost as high as insiders were boasting he would, selling 680,0052 copies of Kingdom Come and securing the #1 spot on the charts. Albums that were previously slowing down sales-wise – Fergie’s Dutchess, Carrie Underwood’s Some Hearts, the Killers’ Sam’s Town and even that Nickelback nightmare that just won’t end All The Right Reasons – saw serious boosts this week. On the down side: 119 more people felt the need to purchase Panic! At the Disco’s record this week than felt compelled to buy Tom Waits’ excellent three-disc opus Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers, & Bastards. On the up side: Now those people own Panic! At the Disco’s record.

Did you draw the mohawk on the guy on the left?

Al Gore | 11/29/2006, 6:41 pm EST

I’m pretty sure Kelly Clarkson rocks harder than Nickelback. I mean Hinder. I mean Chris Daughtry. I mean ‘Daughtry.’

DonkeyTron | 11/29/2006, 6:49 pm EST

Kelly Clarkson is the best and only good thing to come out of that show.

Al Gore | 11/29/2006, 7:02 pm EST

Besides having a ‘Barry Manilow’ week, yes she is.

Dick Goesinya | 11/29/2006, 7:07 pm EST

Daughtry ROCKS!
But then again, I like to stick jalapeno peppers up my 0-ring.
whatever…

…but the new Kellie Pickler CD rules like King Arthur!
But then again, I really enjoy sticking needles into my scrotum.

I know, this is getting old.
I’m gonna go suck on the end of a sawed off…later.

CGEffect | 11/29/2006, 7:07 pm EST

Has Kelly Clarkson already faded froms the masses minds?

Rich | 11/29/2006, 7:09 pm EST

I don’t particularly care for her type of music, but that Kelly Clarkson can SING.

sweetiedie2002 | 11/29/2006, 7:40 pm EST

Well I think Chris should have won it. I was voting for him. Iam glad he made it anyway. what ever happened to the guy that did win lets see what was his name?????? oh yea taylor Hicks.

Shocked and Appalled | 11/29/2006, 9:00 pm EST

Didn’t Daughtry sing a Creed song? How exactly does he suck the least?

OK | 11/29/2006, 9:06 pm EST

As it goes, it doesn’t matter who WINS the competition, but who puts out the BEST music. The problem is people acquaint winning the show with big record sales which isn’t always true, so honestly, any idol who doesn’t win is probably in a more privileged position because they will have more artistic freedom than the winner, thus leading to better music and better sales. So Screw AI, stop infesting our airwaves with your sappy, soulless interpretations of pop music – “Do I make You Proud”? Yuck!

Jimmy Jazz | 11/29/2006, 9:23 pm EST

I’m glad RS shares my view that an apt punishment for buying a Panic! At The Disco album in owning a Panic! At The Disco album. But I really don’t think Daughtry’s beating out Snoop and the Beatles says anything about his lack of shitty-ness. Rather, it says something about the American record buyer……..

weinerhead | 11/29/2006, 10:48 pm EST

This album can lick my nuts.

Anonymous | 11/29/2006, 11:24 pm EST

Yeah, Kelly Clarkson has a good set of pipes.

JD | 11/30/2006, 12:08 am EST

If it was any other week, the Beatles LOVE would have been the #1 album. So next week, expect Jay Z to stay at number one by default since it’s a slow new release week, and I think LOVE will climb to #2. Daughtry will probably fall fast down the charts faster than you can say Justin Guarini.

Mark | 11/30/2006, 12:15 am EST

Chris Daughtry sucks and so does he stupid, bland album. What an ugly idiot.

John | 11/30/2006, 12:43 am EST

yeah yeah yeah….bring on CHinese Democracy!!!!!!!!!

Danny | 11/30/2006, 1:26 am EST

Yes, Kelly Clarkson was the best and only good thing to come out of AI.

Banjo | 11/30/2006, 8:58 am EST

Just wait till the next American Idol. my Fiancé’s cousin, John Carey (not the senator), is gonna kick out the jams! you don’t know him yet, but you will…stay tuned

Banjo | 11/30/2006, 9:00 am EST

Also, Elizabeth “680,0052″ Jay-Z albums sold! that’s not a real number. you made that up didn’t you?! coooome ooon?!

Dottie | 11/30/2006, 9:21 am EST

Seems like the guys on here go for the females. Daughtry is awesome and has real talent. That will be proven real soon.

charliemapleton | 11/30/2006, 10:00 am EST

STANDING HOVATION!!!Success is finding the most valuable piece of gold right out of a mine…or PLATINUM if that’s the case!

TBagU | 11/30/2006, 10:59 am EST

I saw Tom Waits on the John Stewart show. The man is Cookie Monster. I do believe he sang “C is for Cookie”

marnr67 | 11/30/2006, 11:45 am EST

idk i like kelly clarkson i know she’s not a true rocker but at least she doesnt obsess over that shitty band, Live

Whatever | 11/30/2006, 11:46 am EST

Pathetic review. Pathetic posters. See a pattern???

Daughtry Ownz all of you.

ecc123 | 11/30/2006, 12:03 pm EST

Seems to me like the men who find it necessary to post their comments here might be slightly jealous. He’ll show you all.

Jason | 11/30/2006, 12:27 pm EST

I think that Daughtry is kind of boring. His best night on American Idol was when he did What a Wonderful World…

Ben | 11/30/2006, 1:02 pm EST

I hate to tell you this guys, but I’m an old rocker and I liked this album. Listen to Crashed, What I Want with the unparallaled Slash-da-Man, Breakdown and There and Back Again and then we’ll talk.

r u kidding me | 11/30/2006, 1:14 pm EST

Kelly Clarkson is by far the only contestant that actually has talent. Boy band DAUGHTRY is just too wussy for my taste. Apparently 300k people disagree with me, but we’ll see how long this boy band can stay on top on the “rock world.”

nurses6969 | 11/30/2006, 1:32 pm EST

It is a shame that people like you don’t give real talent a chance. Are you all just a bit bitter? Would you like cheese with that whine. Get a grip, get a life and move on. Chris will be here when all the others are not. It’s time you all took the chip off your shoulders and grew up

PARIS = ALBUM OF THE YEAR! | 11/30/2006, 2:24 pm EST

F*CK TOM WAITS ALL THE SONGS SOUND THE SAME SOME OLD COOT MOANING!

PARIS HILTON RULES!

Shelby | 11/30/2006, 2:28 pm EST

People who are bashing Daughtry are obviously all sharing one mind and fighting for dominance.

I would explain it to you, but I don’t have any crayons with me.

Jen | 11/30/2006, 2:29 pm EST

LMAO @ Kelly Clarkson being less wussy than Daughtry….are you high?

Buster Hyman | 11/30/2006, 2:33 pm EST

Daughtry owns all you sorry ass anus drips.
Jellus haters keep posting and keep listening to the registers go “ka-ching” everytime a Daughtry album sells.

Joe C | 11/30/2006, 3:02 pm EST

Daughtry didn’t even know “Higher Ground” was a Stevie Wonder song. My guess is his album sounds like the bland alternative rock he’s been listening to his whole life.

HeHadABadDay | 11/30/2006, 3:37 pm EST

I have given this CD a chance. Chris’s screetchie, scratchie voice sounds like nails on a chalk board. His best from AI was when he left. The only ‘real’ performance he gave. As for his album sales, I know from all the fan boards that many crazy fans bought multiple copies so IMO this does not show the true popularity of Daughtry only that he has a band of fans willing to scue the # to make him seem better then he is. Chris you come off smug and fake.

Kelly Clarkson is a huge talent and will be sing long after AI is only a distant member of a played out show.

Trance | 11/30/2006, 3:55 pm EST

pathetic, im moving to europe

Stop the brain farts | 11/30/2006, 3:57 pm EST

maauuhhaaahhhaaaa
So completely funny to me that everyone is making excuses as to why he sold so many. Bottom line, the album rocks, Chris rocks and you cant handle it.
So go sit in a corner, hum a little “Do I Make You Proud” and maybe you will have a good day.

????????????? | 11/30/2006, 4:07 pm EST

What the hell happend to what we now call rock music?

Kick | 11/30/2006, 4:20 pm EST

So he sold some albums, good for him. So did the Spice Girls, So did Backstreet Boys, as did so many other bands that are regurgitated sounds of some of the industries best. In Chris “terrible fuckin sideburns” Daughtry, he is just putting a spin on music that has already been made by “artists” (and he is not a artist) such as pearl jam, soundgarden, and even creed, and believe me calling Creed an artist cements the fact that this guys sucks monkey nuts. My point is, that he will sell albums why? because his music is taylor made for the people dumb emough to buy the album. Its hooky and he already has a built in fan base from Idol, and not to mention the bible belt. However he will eventually stop selling and you will see him at your local coffe shop or pub for 10 dollars pre show and 20 at the door. This is a prime example of what is wrong with music today, The record companies will package and sell even the least talented to make a buck. Very sad. So good on you Chris, sell some more records,and you seem like a decent guy. But two of my idols are Eddie Vedder & Trent Reznor and they both said you and the rest of the A Idols are fake, immoral way of packaging bad product for the kids of today, and hey if my Idols said this about me I wouldnt be able to look in the mirror, too bad you have too.

Juan | 11/30/2006, 6:08 pm EST

Elizabeth and her rockism.

Kalan | 11/30/2006, 6:22 pm EST

OFGS – get over the fact that he was on AI and LISTEN! This was the man that stayed true to his rocker roots and got kicked off the show for his trouble. Bear in mind that Slash is on one track, other established rockers co-wrote the songs …… if THEY think enough of his talent to put their names on his cd why does RS still have its’ collective head in the sand?

Raina | 11/30/2006, 8:06 pm EST

I sense all KINDS of jealousy here. Pack it up and move on, little boys. Daughtry’s album is amazing.

theoneandonly | 11/30/2006, 8:16 pm EST

I quit believing anything remotely connected with RS when they changed their demographics. This old rocker thinks Daughtry kicks some serious ass. You musical snobs need to take a lesson.

MUSIC FOR THE MASSES | 12/1/2006, 2:25 pm EST

Great post Kick. Well said.

tray448 | 12/1/2006, 9:23 pm EST

Oh give me a break. I bought three cds. One for me and two for xmas presents for friends. Now I love chris and the cd but I sure the heck dont buy multiple copies of the same cd for mysef. As far as who rocks harder daughtry or clarkson that is a matter of opinion. I say chris kellys second cd does a little better than her first however Chris is more rock to me. Chris is awesome and will show how well he can sell.

Jessica | 12/5/2006, 6:54 pm EST

Jesus Christ, everyone calm the fuck down. You all know Chris is the best thing that ever happened, you all know that he is and will for a very long time rock the music charts, so shut you damn mouths.

Hofinnanr | 12/11/2006, 2:28 pm EST

I bought this album yesterday and it is very, very good, better than I thought it would be. He and the band sound very established. Very, very good!

Hofinnanr | 12/11/2006, 2:46 pm EST

Kick, you want to bash Chris for not being an “artist” like Eddie and Trent but even they had to start somewhere and it’s called the bottom. The only reason you don’t like him is b/c he got his start from American Idol which to you means he automatically has no talent and that is not fair. As far as the problem with record labels these days, it has nothing to do with Chris, the problem is crappy “music” like Fergie, Jay-Z and all the others. THEY have no talent and should be removed from the air waves. Chris writes his own music, if you don’t like his style or sound that’s fine, but give credit where credit is due and allow the rest of us to enjoy our music.

Manda | 12/19/2006, 11:17 pm EST

I like Chris album but I admit he’s not any closer to be an Eddie Vedder or Robert Plant. Perhaps he’ll mature enouh to develop his “talent”. Its amazing to me he’s selling more albums than Mario Vazquez.(33,000 so far). That tells you that american idol show isn’t a guarantee of anything. I got a cd of a great guitarist/songwriter named CESAR (”worlds of change” cd) where Mario Vazquez sung a few songs and Cesar ROCKS, SERIOUSLY!!And he even look like Chris!!

From Halfway Around The World | 12/28/2006, 6:18 pm EST

While Daughtry may sound to purists as a rip off from other rock or alternative bands, for us folks who are not huge rock – alternative fans the album kicks ass. It has the edge of a rock album which was with pop friendly lyrics.

regina | 12/30/2006, 12:51 pm EST

hey guys i got daughtry’s cd and it is very good. I dont lie the american idol machinery but they came with a decent effort. I read a comment here in this post about Cesar and got his CD (worlds of change) as well and also is great! he dosnt sing (he got mario vazquez and steve real as lead vocalists) but plays guitar like God, man. and his songwritting is amazing.

cd ROCKS | 1/1/2007, 7:26 pm EST

chris daughtrys album ROCKS and everyone knows it………………………. . HI CHRIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

davi | 1/3/2007, 8:12 pm EST

I think daughtry’s new cd is great i got one and bought one for a friend who also loves it. can’t wait to see him in concert.

Anonymous | 1/18/2007, 9:45 am EST

Sounds like some pretty jelous people out there.I think he fuckin rocks!

Karen | 1/20/2007, 11:15 pm EST

Chris Daughtry=the least shitty american idol-ish person ever?

Your title sucks!

CHRIS ROCKS!

Wesley | 1/26/2007, 6:50 pm EST

First of all, I just dont like his music. But I also dont like the fact that he ditched his other band for a $1M record contract, while he couldve gotten a good record deal with his old band anyway. And then he names the band after himself?Sounds pretty self centered to me.

real music | 2/7/2007, 1:18 am EST

Daughtry = generic shit that is identical to fuel, nickelcreek, etc. No originality. Boring lame music. Why don’t you guys download some good music like The shins…

Your DaDDy. | 2/7/2007, 10:22 am EST

OMG! Seriously people. This “rocker” came out of nowhere and has other people write his songs. His music is cookie cutter mainstream crap! My g/f is obsessed with this junk and it really burns me up to see so many people that can’t think for themselves and realize that record label cookie cutter music like this is NOT good.

All I can say is…

You think you’re saying something relevant as you connect the dots..

You never realized you have to get in line to suck a cock…

You’re telling me that fifty million screaming fans are never wrong…

I’m telling you that fifty million screaming fans are fucking morons.

Jessica Wilemon | 3/29/2007, 5:29 pm EST

Whatever! everyone of you guys who had something bad to say about chris are just jelious! all of your girl friends are probably maddly in love with him (like me, Smart girl!), and you just wish you had what he has. he can sing and omg is he as fine as hell! your all just punks and need to find someone else to talk about, like YOUR MOMMA!

Jessica | 4/22/2007, 9:19 pm EST

First of all some people like Daughtry just because we dont like your rap crap doesnt mean that we are morons , your the moron for getting so worked up over it :D you guys make me laugh…and so what if they are like nickelback and fuel, they are great bands!

sorb | 11/28/2007, 9:32 pm EST

to the people that like daughtry: have you fucking listened to the music. IT fucking hurts
The lyrics are retarded. His voiced is mixed in way to high with the instrumentals in the back like a pop song. He didnt choose his own band, tehy were chosen by his record company. Thats right
He sold out before even recording it
His voice sounds like a shitty impression of whoever the cockmunch from nickleback which is realy just a shitty impression of eddie vedder/ everygrunge band ever. Its sad that people who devote enough time to music to be on the rolling stone site wouldnt know how much better music there is, by bands that formed all by themselves,and write all their own songs, and down sound like washed up imitations of imitations. Buy a zox album. The Wait is fantastic. Listen the shins or modest mouse or Brokens Social Scene or elliott smith. Listen to something with an ounce of originality and talent. But gosh. Some douchebag who couldnt think of a better band name than his own last name?

RealMusic | 1/6/2008, 12:54 am EST

Music is going down the shitter. Sorry to say it folks. I had no idea who this asshole was, didn’t know he came from the “American Idol Machine” but just saw one of his live performances on youtube and it was awful. His voice is mediocre, his guitar work is piss poor, and he sold out his band for some idiots his record company threw at him. You want to hear a good voice listen to freddy mercury, wanna hear some good guitar work listen to stevie ray vaughan. Get a grip on yourselves people. This sounds like everything else out there. But then again, if it makes you happy, please continue listening to crap, music is after all, for pleasure, although some people’s concept of pleasure is listening to some bald idiot play a guitar at the level of an 8th grader

WOW..just WOW | 1/11/2008, 4:21 pm EST

quote “I’m pretty sure Kelly Clarkson rocks harder than Nickelback. I mean Hinder. I mean Chris Daughtry. I mean ‘Daughtry.’”

American music has gone so far down the shitter..i can’t even begin to fathom all the pollution that exists over the airwaves! And u know why??! its not even the radio stations faults!! its the god damn listeners!

STOP LISTENING TO GENERIC GARBAGE. DISCOVER REAL MUSIC, AND DEMAND IT.

to you “daughtry” supporters:
sit down.
put on the cd.
listen to the lyrics.
listen to the guitar.
listen to the lyrics.

you’ll want to kill yourself after 5 min.

Chris Daughtry | 1/26/2008, 1:04 pm EST

I suck at music, and I am a self-centered bitch. I can’t sing and I only follow mainstream trends. I am a blithering idiot.

len | 2/22/2008, 3:14 pm EST

i like to call bands like nickleback and hinder and thousand foot crutch, godsmack, daughtry, fuel, puddle of mud…ect..ect…CLONER BANDS! they all sound the same! they come from the same mold. all about testosterone and trying to be badass…. music for white trash and rednecks !!

DAUGHTRySPECT | 10/29/2008, 4:43 pm EST

HA – Last time I checked (which was actually a LONG time ago) this album’s sales were over 4 million!!! Um… that’s quad-druple platinum folks! Face it nay-sayers…The ALBUM ROCKS and so does CHRIS’ VOICE.
Sure Daughtry’s sound may be comparable to other bands sounds BUT there is NO VOICE ON THIS PLANET like his!!!
By the way, he writes almost ALL his songs….(just wanted to straighten someone out on that). And PLEASE DON’T associate him with idol… that is only what fast-fowarded his career – but he would have made it big eventually without that. LISTEN TO HIM!!!
He has such a gift and I’m so glad he’s now sharing it with the world.
He’s freakin’ unbelievable!
Whoever can’t hear that MUST not have an ear for music – seriously!!!??!!!!
Every song totally ROCKS on the entire album and the next album is due out this coming Spring (2009) and I can’t wait and neither can millions of others! This band is going to be around for MANY, MANY years, mark my word! To top it off, each of the 5 band members are such nice guys and are so respectable!
It is a shame the first CD had to be released so quickly, but I’m sure it’s just that they had to go with the momentum. This next CD will have all the band members in it. Anyone who isn’t into this band is truly missing out, bigtime! I’ve been to 15 shows so far and plan to keep on going to them for the rest of my life! DAUGHTRY ROCKS THE WORLD!!!!
And truly, I don’t think a nicer band of guys exists as well.
They are the total package!
