While numerous bands have been formed by record execs and producers in the past, Pop Stars, a new TV reality series debuting on Britain's ITV on Wednesday, is turning the selection process into a contest.
The winners will receive a recording contract with Polydor. In the series' final episode, the group will learn how their first single fared in the record charts. A similar series is set to debut in the U.S. on The WB on Friday.
