The 2019 victor of American Idol received a record deal with Hollywood records as well as $125,000 upon the conclusion of an album.

The record agreement may include up to six albums.

However, it does differ from one winner to the next.

• After signing the record contract, the contestant has only four months to finalize an album.

• During the recording process, they will supposedly receive $1,000 a week to cover living expenses, as well as an additional fee for every master completed and turned in.

• Since the record label is taking a leap of faith with these contestants, they will receive $300,000 advance to record the album, which they will be required to pay back with the album’s sales.

• They are also expected to pay back 50 percent of marketing costs after the album’s release.

Probably the best prize that all of those contestants that actually make it on to the show get exposure. This allows everyone around the world to see how they sing. However, others get money and secure record deals. Before the ninth show, it is believed that the contestants get close to one million dollars for their participation in the show.

The winner and possibly the runner-up are secured with record deals from one record company who has the option of signing or refusing, but then another company may sign. Other contestants may also get record deals from American Idol even though they didn’t win. Since they get this exposure other record deals may contact them on their own to sign them.
