Being an 'American Idol' runner-up may not be so bad after all. David Archuleta has just scored a record deal with 19 Recordings/Jive Records and will potentially release his debut album this year!

Like finalists Clay Aiken and Jennifer Hudson, it would be no surprise if the 17-year-old crowd pleaser had a widely successful career despite losing to David Cook this season. "It was fascinating to watch David's journey through 'Idol,'" 19 Recordings founder Simon Fuller said. "He is a genuine pop star, and is a gifted singer."

Sorry, girls. David Cook may be off the market. When the 'American Idol' winner stopped by 'Live With Regis and Kelly,' on Tuesday he revealed that he recently went out with former 'Idol' contestant Kimberly Caldwell.
