NEW YORK -- He may not have won American Idol, but Chris Daughtry is the king of the album charts this year, according to Billboard.

The Idol finalist's band, Daughtry, sold 3.2 million copies of their self-titled debut, making it the most popular album of the year, according to the trade magazine. The group was followed by Akon, whose Konvicted sold 2.7 million; Fergie's The Dutchess, which sold 2.4 million; the Hannah Montana soundtrack with 2.5 million copies sold; and 2005's American Idol champ Carrie Underwood, whose Some Hearts sold 2.3 million copies.

Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" was the No. 1 single of the year, followed by Rihanna's "Umbrella." Both have been nominated for a Grammy for record of the year. Rounding out the top five was Gwen Stefani at No. 3 with "The Sweet Escape," Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" at No. 4, and T-Pain's "Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin')" at No. 5.

The Police's reunion tour was named the top tour of the year, grossing at least $212 million.

简评：Chris Daughtry 虽然没有赢得第五届“美国偶像”，但比赛过程中他那粗旷的嗓音及具爆发力的演唱，着实令人感受到了这位光头酷哥不一样的摇滚魅力。赛后，Chris Daughtry组建了Daughtry乐队，首张同名专辑"Daughtry"于2006年底发行，首周便以30万4千张的销售量登上亚军位置。今年Daughtry在全美各大奖项中越战越勇，不仅获得第35届全美音乐奖“最具突破性艺人”、“摇滚类最受欢迎专辑”、“成人当代音乐最受欢迎艺人”，而且更是在第50届格莱美奖获“最佳流行乐队”提名；专辑销售方面，在11日公布的2007年iTunes度最佳销售专辑排行中获得第四，在2007年Billboard专辑销售榜中以320万张夺得桂冠！
