He did it! Chris Daughtry and his band Daughtry beat out his friends in Shinedown and got his very first number-one rock song. We know this means the world to Chris. After spending 15 years in the more adult contemporary world after becoming one of the more popular original American Idol contestants, he went all in on his dream of playing harder-edged rock music a few years ago. Now while it wasn’t planned this way when we booked Chris to return to the Cutting Edge Countdown and Cutter’s Rockcast, it’s pretty great to have him hear the same week his song goes number-one. At the time of the conversation, we weren’t sure if was going to get there so you can hear his excitement within this conversation.
Elsewhere in the countdown, we got debuts this week from Beartooth and Green Day, but the one we didn’t expect is the latest single from The Black Crowes.
