Don’t forget Cher Lloyd! Also while I appreciate this persons hard work, the list is a little off to me since I don’t consider artists who didn’t even place top 24 as really getting their big breaks from X factor. Kane brown isn’t really tied to the show in any way |

^im fully aware he was on the show, but he didn’t come in a noteworthy place to link his success from it. I doubt he considers himself from X factor, rather he likely just views it as something he did real quick.

^Sorry, but that's like saying William Hung has no connection to American Idol. If you made a presence on the show, you are included. You don't have to agree, but I'm not taking him away from the playlist.

^In the near 300 songs that American Idol alumni have charted on the Hot 100 / Bubbling Under, Colbie Caillat is not one that I have included. She never auditioned in front of the judges and never had even 1 appearance on the actual show itself as a contestant.

You don't have to agree, but I'm not taking him away from the playlist. William hung is literally known as that’s guy who made a fool of himself on idol. Those aren’t even comparisons at all. It’s your playlist so it’s totally valid for you to do whatever you want, it was just super jarring seeing Kane on there |

Definitely seems so, and even more surprising that they were more popular in America than artists from America's version of the show. From the U.S. show, it's pretty much just 5th Harmony-related artists and Kane Brown (questionably) to reach any real prominence. |
