The first season of American Idol debuted without hype as a summer replacement show in June 2002 on the Fox network. It was co-hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Brian Dunkleman. The show ran for 13 weeks from June�September. An estimated 50 million people watched the finale in September 2002.
The winner, Kelly Clarkson, signed with RCA Records, the label in partnership with American Idol's 19 Management. Immediately post-finale, Clarkson released two singles, including the coronation song, "A Moment Like This". Clarkson has since released three successful albums�Thankful, Breakaway, and My December. Her fourth album All I Ever Wanted was released on March 10, 2009.
Clarkson was the first contestant ever to win a Grammy and has gone on to receive several awards and sell over 20 million records worldwide. She is the only contestant to have two number one albums, have two number one singles on The Billboard Hot 100, and the first contestant to have a non-related Idol single to peak at number one.
