Daughtry Makes History and Hits #1 on Billboard with “Leave This Town”
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
DAUGHTRY’s sophomore album, Leave This Town, entered the Billboard 200 at #1. This makes the band’s leader, Chris Daughtry, the first American Idol alumnus to land back-to-back #1 albums. DAUGHTRY rang the bell for two weeks in early 2007. Kelly Clarkson is the only other Idol alum to notch two #1 albums, and hers weren’t consecutive. She topped the chart with her first and fourth albums. This obviously makes Chris Daughtry the first Idol alum who didn’t win the competition to land two #1 albums.
