Most successful act to have come out of The X Factor?
Sorry if there has been a similar thread, but i was just wondering who people think the most successful act from X Factor is?
I would say One Direction, it's amazing how far they have come in two years, they are famous world wide! Other contenders would be Olly Murs and Leona Lewis IMO as they have also become very successful from the show. |

Cher Lloyd is massive in America aswell.
Leona, One Direction, Cher, Olly, JLS. Shayne could of been the english Justin Timberlake in his day if he had been managed well. Syco screwed him over. Alexandra also had her day now since her last album was badly promoted. |

AT THE MOMENT, it's Leona Lewis, her debut will be the biggest selling of ANY X Factor contestant. I think One Directions first two albums will sell roughly the same as Spirit did combined.
But for long success, no one know's how successful they will be after their second album. Leona sure isn't receiving success at the moment. If you look at it from an albums point of view. #1 - Leona #2 - One Direction #3 - JLS #4 - Olly Murs #5 - Shayne Ward #6 - Alexandra Burke #7 - Rhydian |

In terms of initial career success, Alex yes, but more recently, I think Olly would be ahead of her.

Quite surprised that Cher Lloyd has been mentioned here more than once...
One of the worst ever contestants in my opinion. |

I'd say Olly and One Direction are the biggest acts. Olly's just sold 121K of his third lead single, his biggest yet and his album looks like it's gonna be his biggest yet as well. |

I would say Leona considering she has been nominated for a Grammy (thee in fact all in the main field)! And has sold the most!

Alex recently got a #1 in Greece with no promotion. She is still known internationally and has had other singles chart at #1 or within the top 20 across Europe. Plus she still holds the fastest downloaded single 24 hours across Europe to this day.

Post 2006 measured in £sd (as surely Syco would) my guess. 1D (or soon will be), Leona, JLS, Alexandra, Olly (or Jedward?), Cher, Rebecca (those two are close), Matt. Rhydian is there somewhere too (prob near Cher/Rebecca?), as would Shayne be from earlier. Thing is go as far back as 2004,5 and it gets hard to compare as album and music buying patterns have altered big style.
Have I forgotten anyone??? |
