Is it X Factor, The Voice or still Idol ??
It is just an actual question, I was wondering which franchise is now the most successful in the current market.

In terms of format and occurences all raound the world, the Voice seems to be smashing it! It's doing good in the rating department in most countries from what I hear.
But in terms of carrier launched, The voice doesn't seem to have been that effective from what I heard... But it's the newest format.
Idol has lauched many carriers, and so has X factor (not talking about longevity here, but both have had contestants selling many reccords after their appearance on those programs)...
No franchise will ever be able to match the combined success of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Idol should count their lucky stars that those two have been so successful and that they've been able to obtain longevity.
I don't believe that table at all, Big Brother is in way more than 2 countries
Off the top of my head: UK, US, France, Canada, Africa, Brazil and Australia.
1. The Voice
2. French's american idol (Nouvel Star)
3. Star Academy
4. Pop Star
5. X Factor bombed big time in France and was canceled
The only one on a big network is The Voice, the rest are on much smaller cable channels to my knowledge. And it's still relatively new & hasn't produced a star yet to my knowledge...
"Star academy" used to be the big one in France, but our love for such programs has dramaticaly declined, and it's on a cable channel with cable channels ratings I suppose... "Pop star" was also big but didn't last that many seasons (2 or 3?) on M6, is it back? Same with "Nouvelle Star", it was huge for a couple of seasons but dipped both in talent and ratings after Christophe Willem... I don't think either are back on M6 anyway, probably on W9 (or some small channel like that).
France is not the best example for singing talent shows, they have been struggling for years in the ratings department (apart from the Voice I think).
One Direction? Leona Lewis?
:eek: Amazing!
On the TV side it can just come down to how you measure it. How many territories it has been sold into or how many markets? Sometimes one version airs in multiple countries. Do you give extra weight to bigger markets? Is it done by ratings? X Factor airs in Germany but on a smaller channel where it gets nowhere near the ratings of Talent or The Voice.
On the music side, it's probably more clear cut. X Factor (specifically the UK version) seems to be churning out acts who are not only successful at home but are making inroads into other markets. And of course, there's One Direction.
Idol will always have Kelly and to a lesser extent Carrie. Although it does highlight that they've not done well enough in the past 8 years.
Idol: I don't follow it, but there are quite a few people who got a decent career after Idol.
I thought Adam Lambert was doing well enough... Not that I know the numbers, but I read that his second album went #1 in the US and sold enough outside the US to warrant some sort of world tour.
Daughtry did quite well also in the US I thought (for a time at least).
Jenifer Hudson comes from AI too I think...
X factor: currently 1D, to a lesser extend Cher LLoyd, LM & Olly Murs, and Leona Lewis did extremely well at one point, plus all of the singers doing well enough (for a time at least) in the UK like JLS, Alexandra Burke...
Basically: the voice get good ratings & is the new big talent show in the world right now, but maybe because it's relatively new, there is no big success story yet to my knowledge.
Alsothere's like 6 or 7 singing shows in France so X Factor was bound to flop when they tried to launch
