Posted December 5, 201113 yr This might be a miseducated post, but typically songs seem to rocket up (well not as much as before) the UK chart after an X-F performance. But is X Factor helping artists in the US? Kelly Clarkson performed Stronger 2 weeks ago and that dind't make much of a ripple, Tinie Tempah performed "Pass out" last week and it's NOT even on the US iTunes 200! Surprising considering I still see old songs like Taio's Dynamite in there! Even though 10mil+ are tuning in for the show, looks like its impact so far is a LOT lesser to artists than American Idol's. Edited December 5, 201113 yr by jmarkiv
December 5, 201113 yr Idol doesn't usually have an affect as great as UK X Factor though. Wiki has great charts of all the guest performances and the affects they had on the Hot 100 & Digital Charts. A whole lot of 'Failed to Charts' on there.
December 5, 201113 yr We're talking about a country where Party Rock Anthem has been top 10 for 27 weeks. They seem to take quite a long time to catch onto new songs I guess. :lol: I think in the US, the best forms of promotion is simply being on the radio, if you want to sell a lot.
December 5, 201113 yr Author Interesting, I'll check that out. I do agree that AI's effect on the Billboard chart is nothing compared to TXF's effect on the UK chart...but TXF-US seems to have even a lesser impact on the Billboard charts than AI did! I know TXF-US has been renewed for a 2nd season but I'm curious to see how it will go. It's hardly caused the ripple that Cowell was hoping for. Ironically, even for a so-called "flop" series in the UK this year, the UK ratings are still higher than the US ones!
December 7, 201113 yr Award shows seem to be the only way to boost a song down the US charts with a televised appearance. That and American Idol. Most TV shows have absolutely no impact whatsoever.

Glee occasionally has big effects on the original versions of the songs they cover (just recently there's been Fix You, Rumour Has It, We Are Young and Red Solo Cup - the latter two both just in the last few days). But aside from that it does seem TV affects the US chart far less than it does the UK chart.

But aside from that it does seem TV affects the US chart far less than it does the UK chart. I was thinking about performance slots specifically (artists rarely appear/perform in Glee although it does happens from time to time) but you're right, Glee also has a strong effect. Sometimes, a song being used in a TV commercial (i.e.: Miley Cyrus Party in the USA to promote her Wal-Mart line; Gaga Edge of Glory in the Chrome commercials; Chris Brown's Forever in a bubble gum commercial he starred in) can also help but I don't think they have that much longlasting impact. Even more than the UK, artists seems to rely mostly in airplay support in the U.S., so there isn't much need for them to actually perform on TV.
December 11, 201113 yr not really... it was a flop in the US so it's not helping anything... no song has prominantly increased after being performed on X-Factor in US... :puke2:
