	Games - Idol series

British talent search series Pop Idol
has spawned dozens of spin-offs in over 30 countries, in the what is now referred to as the Idol series. As part of an out-of-court settlement between the Pop Idol producers and the creators of Popstars, international sales contracts of the format contain a clause preventing the local broadcaster from using the word pop in the local title.

American Idol, Australian Idol, Canadian Idol, Super Star are the most popular Pop Idol spin-offs in the Idol television series, one of the reasons having to do with being set in a multicultural country, as opposed to spin-offs in monocultural nations.
