#35 Adam Lambert - The Popdust 40: The World's Greatest Pop Stars, From Big Bang to Justin Bieber

Only a select few American Idol alums—and even fewer in recent years—have had the good fortune of finding continued success outside the show. Adam Lambert may have lost the battle of Idol‘s eighth season to overall winner Kris Allen, but he’s clearly won the war, continuing to find success with his post-reality TV albums and singles, while presiding over one of pop music’s most fervent followings. He even made a little history on the charts earlier this year, with an album we dubbed the finest of 2012′s first half.
