When did X Factor UK peak
 

What was the best year or consecutive years for XF?

2008-2010

2010

The first four

2010 and then went rapidly downhill

2010 was the best year :love:

When they could get the likes of Rhianna and Xtina to duet

Well 09/10 are the most successful years but my top 3 series are:

2010 [S7]
2012 [S9]
2008 [S5]

I love Alexandra singing with her fans :love:

2010, got worse and worse from then on

Really unpopular probably but 2011 is my fave and probably always will be. Little Mix, Misha, Kitty, Sophie and Amelia :love:. 2008 is great too and unpopular again but I enjoyed 2015.

2010 is actually one of my least :worry:

2010. Nearly every performer was made to feel like a star.

5, 6 and 7.

7 in particular was the best and had the most diverse group of finalists (it also had the best contestant ever in Katie Waissel)

2008-2010 was its prime era.

Earlier years may have got better ratings though, not sure.

It peaked between 2006 and 2010 both for its best contestants, ratings and best panels.

09-10 was definitely its peak ratings-wise

2010 :love:

i love a good thread with just years that mean diddly squat to anyone

"oh yeah 2012 was the best"

most people cant even remember who won last bloody year

2011>>2007>>2014

do me a flippin flavour

Leona-Jedward. But tbf, I've always enjoyed it. Barlow was its downfall, you can't come back from that.

2008-2010 was the golden era

2011 was ok and it's been garbage ever since

This.

2011 & 2012 were decent years too but nothing on those three.

Ever since Little Mix won it went downhill

After 2012 imo, 2013 was horrific and has been ever since

I'd say Alexandra year was the best and when I felt most invested
