Up till last year's winner Sam Bailey. who will still be around and having sucess!
I think One Direction have a couple of years left, but once a couple of the boys want to go solo!! The same with Little Mix!
Out of all the former contestants, I think perhaps Ollie Murs might last the longest.

She might be still going, then so is Matt Cardle, Alexander Burke, Joe McEldery and a few of the others. They just haven't had much on going chart success!!
Whether any of them will be around in the next 10 years and still having a good chart success and selling out large venues remains to be seen.
I suppose so.
Having a top 3 single 7 years after winning and an album selling over 100 000 copies 7 years on is quite I impressive when you look at the stars that have come and gone since then.
in 3 weeks ;-)
Looking forward to it.
Alright let's move away from chart success. Will any of the x factor lot be filling any large arenas or even any tours.
I know Little mix are touring and are filling out some good size arenas, the same goes for one direction.
Leona had a top 3 hit at the very end of last year, with One More Sleep, which meant she has the most top 5 hit singles by a British female solo artist, so has had chart success.
Plus her album had a three week slot to sell and she sold over 100,000 copies, so not bad for an X Factor contestant 7 years after they were on the show.
I'll be buying the album later this week ;-)

Olly Murs seems to be doing quite well too and has had consistent success, so I could see him sticking around.
I think Harry Styles will be around in 10 years, Louis/Liam will slink off into song-writing and make a mint, and I think Niall has a chance of a solo career as he is ridiculously popular. Olly Murs will still be around. Little Mix will be reuniting. And acts like Leona, Matt Cardle, Rhydian, Sam Bailey will still have occasional albums out.
So most of think that the majority will still be around releasing the occasional album and playing smaller gigs mostly UK based.
So none are likely to reach massive Globel sucess.
Should get a response methinks!
Well James Arthur might, but for all the wrong reasons:D
I think that if you wanted to be seen as a moody edgy musician, then perhaps the X factor wasn't the way to go.
Steve B still spouts off on twitter so no reason James won't
Leona will get to 10 years as its only 2 more years and Glassheart didn't completely flop
Only other act that could possibly do it if they keep making simon millions is 1D. You could say they could hate each other by then but they probably do already lol
She has a devoted fanbase in the US - their quite mad about her.
They will probably stay with her for years. She's at the peak of her career now too. She did an arena tour with Demi Lovato. Although, she may not be selling loads in 10 years.
I think that Joe has dealt with his career in a very positive manner and will probably still be actively performing in 10 years. From what I have seen of his tour footage, he is an impressive live singer and has an excellent rapport with an audience. Quite what form his career will take, I can't say. But I would expect him to make a good living for the foreseeable future.
Rhydian has also taken a very positive and level headed approach. He is also a very good singer and has, I think, an engaging manner. I would also expect him to continue to be successful in some form in the entertainment industry.
Olly Murs isn't to my taste as a singer, but he has worked hard and made the best of himself. I would also expect him to still be active in some capacity.
I'm too big a fan to be totally objective about Leona. But she is I think a genuinely talented singer who has evolved since the X Factor and who seems level headed despite her huge original success. She also has a lot of musical knowledge and depth. Like Joe and Rhydian I think that she will always be able to make a living from music.
I'm sure there are others.
