Singer Daughtry was a fourth-place finalist during season five of “American Idol.” When he signed with 19 Entertainment and RCA Records in 2006, a band was formed around him and used his last name as an easier name recognition, since fans already knew him from the popular TV competition series.

Some of Daughtry’s singles, include “It’s Not Over,” “Home,” “Feels Like Tonight,” “No Surprise,” and “What About Now.”
