Take that...you music illiterate bastards who didn't vote for Chris Daughtry on American Idol... and didn't even take him to the final 2. ColeyB and Daughtry thank you for not drunk dialing his number and letting him off the show, so he could make the stellar music he delivered to us this year...
Here's the article forwarded to me by my stellar co-worker Chris...

One year after landing fourth place on American Idol, rocker and his band are the kings of 2007.
He was a complete unknown nearly two years ago.
Daughtry
Now Chris Daughtry's band has the top-selling album of 2007. Billboard revealed its end-of-year charts today, with Daughtry's self-titled debut landing the number one slot for the year with 3.2 million copies sold.
Akon's Konvicted was second at 2.7 million, followed by the Hannah Montana Soundtrack at 2.5M, Fergie's The Dutchess at 2.4M, and Carrie Underwood grabbing the fifth slot with 2.3 million units sold of her album, Some Hearts, which was the top seller of 2006.
Beyonce scored the biggest single hit of 2007 with "Irreplaceable," followed by Rihanna's "Umbrella" Featuring Jay-Z, and Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape" Featuring Akon.
Not surprisingly, the reunited Police rang up the biggest tour of the year, grossing more than $212 million, dwarfing the second-place finisher, a reunited Genesis, which took in nearly $130 million.

Sorry I haven't posted much, but I'm trying to honor the Hollywood Writer's Strike and not provide too much entertainment. Think of it as me not crossing the virtual picket line.
