Where did the band Daughtry get their big break?

Daughtry's big break came from their participation in the fifth season of the American Idol competition in 2006.

Chris Daughtry, the band's lead singer, placed fourth in the competition, but the exposure gained from the show launched their career. Their self-titled debut album, released later that year, became the fastest-selling debut album in Soundscan history, selling over 300,000 copies in its first week.
