They were the winners of the X Factor 2017, destined for a glittering music career.

However, less than two years later, Rak-Su have been dropped by their record label RCA after poor record sales.

[RileyH]

A shame really as they did have a couple of good songs

[Morgan.]

Thank goodness

[Ant.]

[Jigs]

I really thought they'd kill it post-XF

They really haven't worked hard enough whatsoever

[Withano]

Money on the green jacket going in Love Island next year.

[Withano]

Did the runner up girl ever do anything? She was way better

[Daniel-X]

We have to chuckle! The CutKelvins has the last laugh I suppose!

[Kate!]

Grace Davis.

Not when he just cheated on his Love Island girlfriend!

[James]

The days of anyone getting real success as a recording artist, off the back of X factor, are long gone, I think.

[Denver]

Not when he has already signed up for IAC

Agreed, which is why it needs to end.

[Saph]

didnt they win last year?

[Morgan.]

2017

Dalton won last year

[Mystic Mock]

Tbh I thought that Kevin should've won that year anyway.

However TXF should back their acts more, I mean who knows maybe Rak-Su would've grown a fanbase over time like a lot of groups do rather than instant success.

Syco lack any patience when it comes to TXF contestants success and that's really harsh on the winners who have won in the newer series where the show pulls in small audiences nowadays.

This. Little Mix were never really massive until Black Magic or around there. Sure before that they were big enough, selling records, successful as X Factor goes, but I don’t remember them being anywhere near as popular before black magic as they are after.

Idek but I just feel like they’ve been much bigger in the industry since that point.

[Shaun]

Still confused by them dropping Ella Henderson after the success of Ghost & Glow

[Saph]

2017

Dalton won last year

oh yeah :joker:

[Owoaje1993]

Gutted was a huge fan of there’s they had so much potential

[Tony Montana]

Dumped by Gabby and dropped by his record label.

Been a bad week for Myles.

[Alf]

Nobody was ready for that sh!t

[Withano]

Not when he has already signed up for IAC

Oh really? That was my back up theory

[DouglasS]

Let’s be honest regardless of who it is or who wins they’re not going to maintain success in today’s climate. Streaming is ever so important, and recent X factor acts are not put on playlists or really even have a chance. Even moreso because people no longer care about reality tv winners for talent shows, and it’s seen as basic to listen to them. They therefore don’t get promoted by word of mouth


Every s factor year on year since James Arthur has been dropped after a few songs, let’s not pretend it’s because Rak-Su are bad and have just randomly failed

[Mystic Mock]

God Black Magic was huge for Little Mix wasn't it.:joker:

Syco definitely should've seen if they could get a Black Magic type of hit out of Rak-Su on the next Album, it's a shame that Syco didn't see the same vision as what me and you could see with them.

Tbh I didn’t like them at all but when X factor was airing they were one of the most talked about acts in a while. Syco just let the public forget about them.

[Glenn.]

They were **** anyway

I didn't like them much either tbh, I was literally rooting for every act other than them to win that year.

But I don't like to see people's dreams be crushed, and like you the lack of promotion for Rak-Su meant that the general public forgot about them, and then Syco/Sony are blaming Rak-Su for not succeeding when it was poor management that saw them fail.

I mean what were the names of their songs?:confused:
