Daughtry is an American rock band from North Carolina, formed by former American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry and American Idol in 2006. Their self-titled debut album was released on November 21, 2006. The disc reached #1 for two non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200, outsold Idol winner Taylor Hicks' debut effort, and sold more than 3 million copies. Their album is also the fastest-selling debut rock album in Soundscan history.[1] Although due to Chris Daughtry, the lead singer of the band's popularity on American Idol, most lyric pages on the Internet and peer-to-peer networks credit his song by him instead of the entire band.
