Not bad for the guy who finished fourth on American Idol.  Millions of albums sold, headlining concert venues all over the world (including stadiums) and a brand new album on the way.  The guy that simply calls himself “Chris” has come a long way, but has always known exactly what he wanted to do and how to do it.

First there was the offer to be the new lead singer of the band [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Fuel[/lastfm], after singing their song “Hemorrhage” on American Idol.  He turned it down.

Then he turned out his first album exactly how he wanted it.  It sold millions.  Now his band’s new album, “Break the Spell” is coming out on November 21^st.  It will be his second with the full band.

The band members site their favorite concert moment (thus far) to playing halftime at the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game.  Having massive exposure plus being able to help others (Salvation Army) made it a no-brainer.
