Chris Daughtry

Americans have been enjoying Chris Daughtry’s self-titled debut album for months now (nearly 9 to be nearly exact). But our overseas neighbors in the UK have been anxiously awaiting the time that they can find the bestselling album of the year (even though it came out last year) on the racks at their local CD stores.

Well, wait no longer European friends!

This Monday, August 20, Daughtry, gets its UK release. Time to break more records, guys.

There’s even rumor circulating the web (via the official Daughtry site, that is, which makes it more than a rumor in my eyes at least) that the band will be making an appearance over U.K.-way in October. Stay tuned for updates.
