Method & notes
The race highlights longevity on the final stage while keeping collaborations distinct from solo appearances.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
Each finalist row contributes one appearance to the performer or act exactly as credited in the reviewed edition record. Collaborations and replacement performances remain distinct credited acts instead of being automatically merged into solo careers.
- This is a count of credited finalist performances, not championship wins.
- A solo appearance and a duet/collaboration are intentionally kept as separate act labels.
- Replacement performers are retained where the final-night record identifies them.
