Take One Direction. They came in third on the X Factor and then signed a £2,000,000 deal.

K-pop was huge thanks to Youtube for a couple of years before Gangnam Style even came out.
On the other topic of those signing competitions, the acts that come out of them very rarely have any longevity.
Every year a new American Idol gets crowned. They put on one album or two and then they are completely forgotten about.
Did you forget about the existence of Star Search?
These singing competition shows aren't anything new.
