He posted a myspace bulliten yesterday saying that writing on the album has already begun and wants to get it out as soon as possible.
I saw him live at the first show in Sunrise, FL last Friday. He was amazing. He's been doing fantastic on tour!

Chris' studio recording sales according to SoundScan. These are ONLY from iTunes. "Wanted Dead or Alive" - 2,600 "Mayberry" - 2,200 "Smooth" - 1,300 "Change the World" - 1,200 "Don't Speak" - 1,000 "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" - 700 "Don't Get Around Much Any More" - 700 "The Boss" - 600 Total: 10,200 Not bad considering there was no promo for it and it was after the season was over. The article said his sales were the most solid of anyone outside the top 3. Phil, Gina and Lakisha are all close to his sales, but they got big boosts from one of their singles. All of Chris' singles sold consistantly well. And he outsold Sanjaya. Article link: blogs.usatoday.com/idolchatter/2007/07/monitoring-the-.html#more

Well, he's been in the studio with Timbaland before, and they know each other pretty well. So hopefully they can work together in his album.
If he moves back to Virginia, he can actually work with him since his main studio is in Virginia Beach.

Since Chris has already said he is writing for the album right now, I'm assuming they are doing most of the writing for it now and then once the tour is over, moving to Nashville to start recording. Sligh also wrote a blog a few months back saying him, Phil and Rich would be getting major label deals.

Since Chris is going to leave his boyfriend behind. I hope he hooks up with Carrie Underwood and do some duets. That would be love.

I was kiding by the way, or else I would have a Chris/Carrie avatar. Cake can't move in together right now, or it would be obvious to everyone.

Thankyou guys for all the complimetns, it mean alot from you. :) I hope to have the site running with in a few weeks. Some features will be music mixes of Chris' studio recordings, like dance mixes, Wallpapers, Icons, Fan of The Month (Withs a prize), Giveaways (Posters, shirts, hats, tickets), and no, no signed "autographs" unless I get Chris on video signing something lol, a Forum and a Picture Gallery. And I already bought the domain CrichFan.com, but I gotta wait a few months to use it. For now, I have made some updates, so take a look. crichfan.sitesled.com/

From what I've heard, he's doing an album thats a cross between Maroon 5 and Jason Mraz.
I actually didn't realize HOW talented he was. He can play several instruments rather well and his voice flows great with them.
His songwriting skills have been praised to high heavens by the other contestants from this season, so I expect really good quality music from him. He wrote songs for some of the other contestants too. I wonder if they're gonna use them.

I'd imagine so. His voice is very versatile. He sings country, soul, pop and rock on tour...so I'd imagine a lot of different inspirations going into his album.
He lists James Brown as one of his favorite artists, so...
