Fans discover meaning behind JLS name 16 years after X Factor debut

JLS fans are discovering the meaning behind the band's name, which stands for "Jack the Lad Swing." This revelation comes 16 years after the group finished as runners-up on The X Factor. Previously known as UFO, which stood for "Unique Famous Outrageous," the band changed their name due to another band using the acronym. They adopted JLS to reflect their musical style and image. JLS has been active since 2006, with a brief hiatus, and recently released their 15th anniversary album, J15. The album features popular tracks and remixes from their career.
