The X-Factor is a reality TV show intended to find the next best thing in music. The show originated in United Kingdom and as of now, it has several franchises in some parts of the world. Also, it gave way for the emergence of the internationally acclaimed singer and the show's 2006 winner Leona Lewis. Lewis has produced several hit songs that topped not only the UK charts but also music charts from all over the world.

For the very first season of the X-Factor, Steve Brookstein has prevailed against the G4 in the finals. This became his stepping stone in making it big in the music business. After he won the show, he signed a contract with Sony BMG and in return, he released his first single "Against All Odds." The single made it big in the UK singles charts but he failed to have a follow-up single. After that the record company cut him within just one year under them.
In addition, 2005 season winner Shayne Ward did it well into the music scene scoring a 570,000 marker in terms of album sales worldwide. However, he developed vocal cords nodules that affected his career. Nonetheless, it was successfully treated and he continued to perform.

Leon Jackson was the fourth winner of the reality singing show. His first two singles made it big into the music scene but the follow-up singles failed to deliver hits just like the previous two. He was also cut off by Sony BMG but still continues to perform alongside various talents.

In addition, 2005 X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke has achieved fame and recognition that can be compared to Leona Lewis. Her first single "Hallelujah" has sold over a million copies. Simon Cowell, producer of the show, said that Burke can reach the height that Lewis has achieved, and as of now, she continued to impress people with her songs.
Additionally, 18-year-old Joe McElderry won the 2009 season of X-Factor and admitted that he was gay. He faced wide scrutiny on the course of the show but he stand firm to himself about his sexuality. He recorded a song as part of the latest installment of the "Chronicles of Narnia" dubbed as "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" that will be due out on December.

The latest season of X-Factor is still ongoing as the contestants will try their best to prove themselves in their attempt to become the next best thing in the music industry.
