Now That's What I Call Reality Pop

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

I tried this on ILM during the Rough Guide era - the object being to create a compilation CD that would showcase the best of reality TV pop. The rules being:

- only 1 track per artist
- only artists and bands who formed/rose to stardom through a reality TV show
- only ace pop please.
- nothing pre 2000 (interesting cases of pre-Popstars/Pop Idol RTV shd be cited in the comments though)

So help me out. I've done the easy ones for starters:

Girls Aloud - No Good Advice
Will Young - Leave Right Now
Kelly Clarkson - Since You Been Gone
Hear'Say - Pure And Simple
Gareth Gates - Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake)
...

Over to you! (Foreign entries particularly welcome)

Re: Ashlee Simpson, people

[koganbot]

Not bending the rules. The Ashlee Simpson Show was on MTV and among other things was about the making of her first album. She wasn't an established singer/pop star before the show. The album sold something like three-quarter million copies in the first week, because TV'd already established her. (Not that I saw the show; I've no TV. Never saw Seventh Heaven either, which was a show she acted in, though I don't think she was the main star.) Of course, having a famous sister helped her get attention (but also ensured that a lot of people would never take her seriously).
