#3 – JLS
JLS (Jack the Lad Swing) were runner ups to Alexandra Burke on the fifth season of The X Factor. The foursome were able to attract lots of music fans and made a lot of teenage girls scream for more!
Their first two singles, “Everybody in Love” and “Beat Again” hit the number one spot on the UK Singles Chart and their self-titled album was released in 2009. In 2010, they won awards for British Breakthrough and British Single at the BRIT Awards and Best Newcomer of the Year at the MOBO Awards. JLS popularized songs like ”Everybody in Love”, “The Club is Alive” and “She Makes Me Wanna”.
As of 2013, JLS was named as the sixteenth richest reality TV stars in the UK. Unfortunately, on April 2013, the group announced that they would split up after the release of their final album.
