Source-derived summary

December 10 is an English–Irish boy band formed on Simon Cowell's Netflix series The Next Act in 2025. Their debut single, "Run My Way", only reached the top 75 of the UK Singles Chart.

History

In June 2024, producer Simon Cowell announced a new Netflix show, Simon Cowell's The Next Big Act, a reality-style program where Cowell, as host, would audition and select the members of an all-new boy band.

On 10 December 2025, Netflix released the program, now titled Simon Cowell: The Next Act, as a six-episode documentary series following the audition process and the formation of the then-unnamed band. Cowell had initially planned to select only five of the contestants for the band, but ended up keeping all seven finalists, saying "seven people just popped". Five days later, the group released their first song on YouTube, a cover of NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye".

On 30 January 2026, the band released their first single, "Run My Way", which charted at No. 68 on the UK singles chart. On 6 March, they released their second single, "Angel".

The group released their third single, "Infinity (123)", on 16 May 2026.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “english-Irish boy band” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q137673339. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2024 and 2026.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
