This gallery of Danny Gokey pictures from 2010 shows how far the country singer has come since his days on 'American Idol.' In March 2010, Gokey released his appropriately-titled first album 'My Best Days.' The album debuted at No. 4 on Billboard's US charts, which marked the highest chart debut for a male country singer in 18 years. 'My Best Days' also left its mark in the history books by having the most first week digital sales by a new country artist. Gokey's powerful voice caught the attention of Sugarland as well, and they invited him to be the opening act on their 2010 Incredible Machine tour. Gokey also continued his charitable efforts in 2010, performing at Darryl Worley's ninth annual Tennessee River Run festival, which donated all of its proceeds to the St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Flip through these Danny Gokey pictures from his momentous year and let us know which is your favorite.
