Popstars: The Rivals is a British television talent show programme that was broadcast on ITV in late 2002. It was the second UK series of the international Popstars franchise. Unlike Popstars, which resulted in the formation of one winning group, Hear'Say (although the other finalists would go on to form Liberty X), Popstars: The Rivals created two rival groups, Girls Aloud and One True Voice, who competed against each other for the Christmas number one spot on the UK Singles Chart. Girls Aloud won and would go on to achieve twenty consecutive top ten hits, four number ones, and six top ten albums, two of which reached number one and from that, group member Cheryl would achieve five number one singles and two number one albums.

Clips from Popstars: The Rivals were featured on three episodes of Harry Hill's TV Burp.
