The second season of American Idol premiered on January 21, 2003, and continued until May 21, 2003. The title of show was shortened from American Idol: The Search for a Superstar of Season 1 to just American Idol. Brian Dunkleman quit after the first season, and Seacrest therefore became the lone host in Season 2 as well as all subsequent seasons. Kristin Holt was a special correspondent.
It was won by Ruben Studdard. It was the first season to crown a male winner, and the first season to have a finale with two male contestants, Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken.
Studdard released his coronation song “Flying Without Wings” (original singer: Westlife) after the show and reached number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Aiken also released a single with “This Is the Night”, written by Chris Braide, Aldo Nova and Gary Burr. It became the first non-winning contestant to have a Billboard Hot 100 number-one. It was also the biggest US single of 2003, selling over one million copies and reaching six times platinum status in Canada as well as number 1 in New Zealand.
In addition to Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken, Kimberley Locke, Joshua Gracin, Kimberly Caldwell, and Carmen Rasmusen have signed with various record labels.
