Will Kris Allen be the next Carrie Underwood or the next Taylor Hicks?

That question will be answered on November 17, as the American Idol champion releases his debut album.

No word yet on the title of the CD yet, but Allen has been collaborating with songwriters Lindy Robbins and Toby Gad on the disc. Expect it to be comprised of the same soulful rock singles that won him the competition in May.

The rumor mill has been buzzing with talk that Adam Lambert will release his first CD around the same time as his friend and rival.

We'll immediately report when everyone's favorite runner-up announces the date his album goes on sale.

Who will move more copies of his debut album?
