Winner Kris Allen and runner-up Adam Lambert both signed with 19 Recordings last week, with pop-oriented Jive Records picking up the rights to Allen’s debut and rock-leaning RCA Records landing rights to Lambert’s album. In a structured rollout, 19 announced that it signed fourth-place finisher Allison Iraheta, who also will release her debut through Jive, before revealing a deal, if any, for third-place finisher Danny Gokey.

So does the industry think “Idol” got it wrong? Lambert did win the sweepstakes to land the cover of Rolling Stone — something several of the “Idol” winners, including last year’s winner David Cook, have yet to accomplish — ahead of Allen. (Lambert also graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly this season.)

However, on the Billboard charts, Allen is king, with three songs — “No Boundaries” at No. 23, his version of Kanye West’s “Heartless” at No. 33, and “Ain’t No Sunshine” at No. 94 — ahead of Lambert’s two singles “Mad World” (No. 44) and “No Boundaries” (No. 95).
