Interesting facts and trivia about Daughtry. By Songfacts®.

Daughtry and Craddock knew each other since 1997, while Josh Paul and Josh Steely were discovered in an audition and Robin Diaz came to replace former drummer Joey Barne.

Chris Daughtry was the favorite to win Season 5 of American Idol, but in one of the most shocking upsets in the show's history, he was voted off and finished fourth. The judges loved him, and he quickly got a record deal, choosing to front the band instead of becoming a solo artist. Regarding lending his name to the band, he said: "We could've come out with a really obscure name, but coming from the TV show and having name recognition, it was easier just to go with my last name. Steel Dragon would have been great. Rainbow Butt Monkeys would have also been great, but that was taken."

Daughtry's 2006 debut album was a monster: backed by the promotional power of Clive Davis and his Sony BMG Music Entertainment, it was the biggest-selling rock release two years in a row and the fastest-selling rock debut in Soundscan history.
