Daniel Powter

February 8, 2005: Daniel Powter released "Bad Day." It was first recorded in 2002, but he was unable to get a record label to release it. In late 2004, it was used in a French Coca-Cola advert, and he was soon signed by an American label. Released in early 2005, it became an international success, and sold over 3 million copies in the US alone.
