At the end of 2019 The X Factor had a short lived spin off show called "The X Factor: The Band". A boy band and a girl group was formed on the show and they collectively had zero Top 40 hits between them.
The youth were no longer watching the TV to find the next big thing in pop, they were looking further afield on the internet. Most notably they were looking at Korea whose brand of pop music had become the biggest in the world. The biggest girl group from Korea were Blackpink.
However, when you look at their Top 40 record it doesn't suggest biggest girl group in the world. At the time of writing they've never got higher than 17 in the charts. When you're big on the internet though, why would the charts of one country matter.
Amongst the songwriters on this record is David Guetta. In theory this should have helped it up the charts, but he was having a lull in Top 40 hits himself at the time.
