  Instant riches and stardom await the winner of talent show American Idol. The recording contract is a prize that makes dreams come true.

Some of the winners have gone to have great careers and become household names; Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have enjoyed phenomenal success and sold millions of records thanks to American Idol.

The one place in normal competition that nobody wants to end up in is second, but that doesn't seem to be the case with American Idol. Many of the losers on the night have gone on to have successful careers, often eclipsing the actual winners.

Here are a few names that you will know doubt recognize, even if you can't remember the ones who actually beat them on American Idol. These guys have great careers thanks to finishing second.

The first of the successful runners up was Clay Aiken, back in season two. The skinny nerd transformed week by week in front of our eyes into a real star. He belted out a song like no other, and you that wherever he finished this guy was gonna stick around.

Although Clay was beaten on the night by Ruben Studdard; his career since that night has proved to be much more successful than his victor. He has enjoyed phenomenal success on Broadway and is proving to be very popular and extremely bankable. With a solid fan base behind him, Clay will be around for a long time to come.

The runner up from season 7 was the incredibly cute David Archuleta. He placed himself firmly in the hearts of the American public and still remains there today. This guy keeps popping up all over the place and has worked hard to carve himself a very successful career.

The big star of this season was the charismatic Adam Lambert. His attitude and persona won him a legion of fans and coming second to Kris Allen has done him no harm at all. His star is definitely in the ascendancy and he looks as if a long term career is guaranteed.
