According to this advertisment article I found on yahoo, it's happened before.

The 6 Artists discovered on SYTYCD:

OneReublic, Olafur Arnaulds, Adele, A Great Big World, Lady Gaga, Christina Perri.

Interesting, huh? The A Great Big World one is the only one I knew about.

Also, I have no clue where to put this thread, so feel free to move it.

Even though it's not the same, but "Beneath Your Beautiful" by Labrinth & Emeli Sande got its first US exposure from Dancing With the Stars.

Adele?

I definitely remember being introduced to Lady Gaga via SYTYCD.

Lady Gaga I can definitely see since she did Just Dance there months before it took off stateside.

Some of the others, I'm not too sure about. OneRepublic's big break was Timbaland taking apologize and using his incredible momentum at the time to push it to a large audience. As for Adele, SNL is credited by most (including her) to really advancing her career and popularity in the USA at the time (pre-21) since she appeared the week that Sarah Palin came on and a lot of people had tuned in for that specific episode.

And even A Great Big World probably owes more to The Voice for the Christina link? Unless Christina/her team noticed the song from its SYTYCD use.

Christina noticed the song from a performance on SYTYCD. With the Adele link, I remember specifically seeing that performance incorporating Hometown Glory and her being put on my radar afterwards. I knew her from only Chasing Pavements, but that performance made me see another layer of her work. It was in the summer and her SNL stint was around the election in October.
