American Idol star Allison Iraheta has become the latest contestant from this year's series to sign a record deal.

The 17-year-old, who finished fourth on the Fox talent show, will release her debut album with 19 Recordings and Jive Records. The LP is scheduled for release in the autumn.

"I think I'm still in shock that this is happening - getting to record my first album and this whole awesome experience is a dream come true," she told Entertainment Weekly.

Earlier this month, winner Kris Allen and runner-up Adam Lambert signed deals with Jive and 19 Recordings. Their debut discs will also be released later this year.

Danny Gokey is the only contestant from the top four who has not signed a contract to date. "There's nothing to report just yet," said a 19 Recordings spokesperson.
