Daughtry is DEFINITELY NOT RCA's golden child. Chris got HORRIBLE promotion when the CD was first released.

I didn't see any Daughtry appearances until "Home" was being promoted as the second single. I guess the American Idol playings of "Home" weekly helped the track and the Daughtry performance barely helped at all believe it or not.

Daughtry sold its first 2 million albums just on INO alone. "Home" helped to sell another million. INO did MORE for Daughtry than "Home" did despite it being on AI every week.

Imagine if "Home" wasn't on American Idol?? ??? ??? ??? The song proabably wouldn't have peaked in the top 10. I mean:
"It's Not Over" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"Home"

I mean: "It's Not Over" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"Home" I don't think it is as simple as that. I think it would have done well regardless if it was on AI or not. It is a perfect song for Hot AC and AC radio (and did better than INO did on those charts). I think "Home" is a universal song that has many uses. I have seen it used for funerals, for the American troops, for NASCAR, etc. I think its use on AI didn't really help it especially how they used it on that show. JMO.

LOL. Well Chris was the one who wanted to change it, he didn't want to listen to the director so I would say it's partly his fault. Same with INO. Oh....I didn't hear about that... I would just scrap this video and start shooting one for the next single that way it will actually get out on time...it seems like you don't even need a video anymore because TV stations rarely play them.

Guys don't worry. The video should be out soon. The record company isn't that stupid to not release the video when this is exploding.

Don't think this is a good sign for a Daughtry song

Why? It has no video and hasn't had any promotion other then airplay. This week he has a few morning shows and the video should be out soon.

I'm not sure if my station has added this yet. They need to get into gear, plz! This is a great song, and I'm surprised that it's already nearing the top 10!

OY sold a good amount early on...INO had a slow climb initially and Home zoomed obviously.

This song is awesome, favorite single from Daughtry so far! This deserves to be #1. I really liked Chris on American Idol, but Daughtry's music really puts all of his Idol stuff to shame.

Better than both Home and INo. :) I agree. This song has done remarkably well even without the video and any TV promotion. It is almost a Top 10 mediabase hit. It is because of the strength of the song. It will be interesting to see what happens once the TV promotion happens and the video is released ;)

This song wasn't one of my favorites from the Daughtry CD but it is quickly moving up there as one of them.
Great performance on Regis & Kelly
