Meet the semi-finalists, 6:30pm...

They can live

it's been over two months since Homewrecker was released so why not keep building momentum with new music to support the upcoming tour? (and possibly heading towards album 2 coming)

If Conan's not safe you're all going to hell x

Only 3 more songs required! Semi final up next, then the two-part final

They kinda lost me with that episode ngl. Mastermind was funny but apart from that everything else fell really flat. Got what they were going for with the first football sketch but it wasn't really that funny, and then the one with the children was just so ???

Just under 24 hours left to vote and decide the semi finalists!!

Called Potential, out on Friday!

48 hour warning! When I say nobody is safe this time, I mean it

I’m ready

There must be a reason for it but the show always seems to dip for a few weeks in April every season. But yeah it’s not the best, I just wait until full seasons of US shows like this are out now

New song debuting at Coachella apparently!

Perfect breezy pop song for the summer! definitely won’t do anything but I hope his new team aren’t expecting big things and we get more from him!!

Time is running out. Live Show Three unfortunately saw us say goodbye to Chappell Roan and ROSALÍA, but now as Pop Fleet 26 continues on to find Lady BuzzJack, the only way to guarantee safety and make it to the Semi Final is by confronting a dangerous species of fish that have demanded to feed on the energy radiated by powerful flop singles. Please the floppy fishes and you could be through to the Semi Final of The Pop Factor. Fail to please them, and it could be the end of the road. So the question remains, who is going to make it, find Lady BuzzJack, and win? How it works: Once again, voting will be strictly private. When you've listened to all of the artists perform in Live Show Four, you should cast your votes by completing THIS form, ranking the performances from favourite to least favourite. For those voting that are competing in the Live Show, you must vote. Failure to vote by a competing artist will result in an 18 point deduction from your final score. And as always, if you are not competing in The Pop Factor you are more than welcome to vote too by completing the form. And, you guessed, that's not all... When voting closes, we'll cross over to the results show where TWO artists will be eliminated from the competition. The first - the artist with the least points - will be eliminated from the competition automatically. The remaining bottom two artists with the least points will then come face to face with our four judges once again: Commander Eye Sack, Le Jé d’Eleven, The Rogue Trader and Jimmy-Jam Watts. They will decide the artist that remains in the competition. With the judges on thin ice, will they break the habit of a lifetime and reach a majority, or will they take us to deadlock for the fourth consecutive time this season? Voting closes on Monday 13 April 2026, 17:59 BST Reminder: voting is private. To vote, click the link to the form above. So now, one more time before the Semi Final...
