PETALING JAYA: Rock band Daughtry is slated for a concert in Kuala Lumpur on July 26.

The band is appearing in the region as part of the Sony Ericsson Traffic Jam street party tour, with stops in Jakarta and Singapore next month.

Formed by former American Idol finalist Chris Daughtry, 28, the hard rock band received a lot of attention with its American Music Award-winning accolades and four Grammy nominations.

Daughtry’s self-titled debut album was released in November 2006 and reached the No. 1 spot for two non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200.

Like fellow American Idol alumni Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Clay Aiken, commercial success has been forthcoming for the bald-headed North Carolina-born singer Daughtry.

The band’s debut has sold more than four million copies in the United States and was named the No.1 selling album of last year by Billboard.

The first single from the album, It’s Not Over, was the eighth-most played song across all formats on US radio last year, while the band’s second single from the album, Home, was the 10th-most played song in the United States last year.

Daughtry has sold in excess of 6,000 units since the album debut in Malaysia.
