Coldplay - Lost (54)
The Beach Boys - Bluebirds Over The Mountain (33) ...And I can't remember what the follow-up was to Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc but they didn't even make the Top 75 for another four years. This post has been edited by The Hit Parade: Apr 13 2019, 10:53 PM |

QUOTE(___∆___ @ Apr 13 2019, 11:40 PM)  Zayn - Pillow Talk #1 It’s You #48 Harry Styles - Sign Of The Times #1 Sweet Creatures #46 Neither of these were actual follow-up singles but they still both achieved it! ZAYN had LIKE I WOULD, which charted at #30, while Harry had Two Ghosts, which peaked at #58

^^ On that note, the Elton follow up to "Are You Ready For Love?" (2003 re-release) was "All That I'm Allowed (Thankful)" which charted at #20.
Tasmin Archer followed up the excellent "Sleeping Satellite" (#1) with the excellent "In Your Care" (#16). |

I'm pretty sure
Lil Nas X - Old Town Road -> TBC will be part of this list. And technically: Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper - Shallow -> Always Remember Us This Way #25 (was released a week later) Although I wouldn't call top 40 hit "not successful" in this day and age when songs actually have some longevity on charts.

A Little Peace - Nicole - No.1 - 1982 ( Eurovision winner for Germany
Give Me More Time - No.75 I'm sure I read that it still holds the record for a No.1 and a No.75 and no other hits. This post has been edited by Common Sense: Apr 14 2019, 08:44 AM |

Cheryl’s Only Human peaked at #70 after I Don’t Care was a #1
(Although I think it went there before the album release or something didn’t it) |

I think the problem with this thread is the "missing top 10" criteria in the opening post - there's hundreds of examples of this. Missing the top 40 is more of a genuine reason to call something a flop (but even then songs like Echame La Culpa were absolutely massive worldwide & I still wouldn't regard it as a flop over here as it got widespread bar & club play).

QUOTE(danG @ Apr 14 2019, 01:53 PM) Break Free did go Platinum however so it doesn't truly count as 'unsuccessful'! I’d argue differently in terms of It debuted at 20 whereas problem debuted at 1 which I would argue is unsuccessful (compared to her debuts now as well). It had much better longevity so you could argue going platinum is indeed successful. The forum name change has not helped to clear things up. Looking solely at chart placements is easier but more difficult to call a flop nowadays with streaming as with the amount of sales you can still rack up despite chart rankings. |

I seem to recall Break Free being excluded from the chart for the first few weeks it was selling on iTunes so its peak of #16 isn't an accurate reflection of its popularity.
