'American Idol' runner-up David Archuleta gets his own record deal

SALT LAKE CITY - David Archuleta has a job lined up once his "American Idol" tour is over - not that there was any doubt.

The 17-year-old "Idol" runner-up has signed a deal with 19 Recordings/Jive Records, according to a post on the website of the label managed by "Idol" creator Simon Fuller.

Twenty-five-year-old David Cook, a former bartender from Blue Springs, Missouri, won the "American Idol" title when the sixth season of Fox's top-rated singing competition wrapped up May 21.

The title comes with a recording contract.
