Good news for girlgroup fans - Simon Cowell has signed X Factor USA runners up Fifth Harmony to his SiCo record label.
The five-piece reached the finals of the 2012 series of the show, and now join fellow finalists Tate Stevens and Carly Rose Sonenclar on Cowell's books. The music mogul had previously asked advice from his Twitter followers on whether he should sign the girlgroup.
Discussing his love for the group with US magazine People, Cowell previously stated: "I knew from the girls' first performance at the judges' homes that we'd done the right thing.
"The chemistry between the girls both on stage and off is fantastic, and they are incredibly talented."
Singer Camila Cabello has spoken of her excitement at the signing, saying in a statement: ""The fact that we're being given the opportunity to make music that we want feels like a dream we never want to wake up from.
"I literally have to pinch myself."
Fifth Harmony rose to fame on X Factor USA in 2012
Fifth Harmony are Allyson Brooke "Ally" Hernandez, Normani Kordei Hamilton, Lauren Michelle Jauregui, Karla Camila Cabello and Dinah Jane Hansen. They are aged between 15 and 19.
Fifth Harmony were mentored by Cowell in the 2012 series of the show.
X Factor USA is set for a huge shake up in 2013, with the news that Britney Spears has quit the show after just one series on the show. She is said to have quit the show to embark on a Las Vegas residency.
Below: a decade of Girls Aloud. Will Fifth Harmony make a similar mark on pop?
