Anymore? :D I know people will have different definitions of what a flop truly is, but just think about it like disappointing follow ups. Apologies if a similar thread has already been done before.
July 25, 201015 yr There were a few where the follow up didnt even chart. Nizlopi come to mind as I think their follow up reached #80 something
July 25, 201015 yr Jay, this is crazy! 10 minutes ago, I was considering making a thread about this exact thing. :lol: Were Diana and Scouting For Girls you main inspirations? :P Erm, I distinctly remember James Masterton (the Yahoo Music chart commentator) writing a commentary at the end of 2006 discussing the "#1 followed by flop" trend. Here's a few: Shakira's Hips Don't Lie (#1) was followed by Illegal (#34). Sandi Thom's I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (#1) was followed by What If I'm Right (#22). Chico's It's Chico Time (#1) was followed by D.I.S.C.O (#24). Orson's No Tomorrow (#1) was followed by Bright Idea (#11). Scissor Sister's I Don't Feel Like Dancin' (#1) was followed by Land of a Thousand Words (#19). Edited July 25, 201015 yr by SceneofSIXCrimes
July 25, 201015 yr loads of dance artists: Room 5, Wamdue Project, Tomcraft, Spiller, Black Legend, Chicane, JXL, Roger Sanchez, LMC, Kleerup, etc...
July 25, 201015 yr Author Jay, this is crazy! 10 minutes ago, I was considering making a thread about this exact thing. :lol: Were Diana and Scouting For Girls you main inspirations? :P Exactly right! :lol: Diana going 1-36 reminded of Kelly also, so I went from there! Sorry for taking your idea. :kink: Thanks everyone for contributions :wub:
July 25, 201015 yr #1 Babylon Zoo - Spaceman // #17 Animal Army #1 Charles & Eddie - Would I Lie To You? // #33 NYC #1 Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha // #23 Sleep On The Left Side #1 Eamon - f*** It // #27 I Love Them Ho's #1 Lou Bega - Mambo No.5 // #55 I Got A Girl #1 Michelle - All This Time // #16 The Meaning Of Love #1 White Town - Your Woman // #57 Undressed That's all I can think of. It was pretty rare to have such dramatic flops (except for dance artists, as Dré mentioned) to follow up a #1 before the download era. I'm not sure how rare it was in the 80s and before though.

July 25, 201015 yr One of the biggest injustice's to Sandi's very short lived career :cry: WIIR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IWIWAPR Her whole 2nd album is simply stunning :heart:
July 25, 201015 yr Owl City - "Fireflies" followed by Owl City - "Umbrella Beach" Oh yeah, didn't Umbrella Beach chart at something like #197? :mellow:
July 25, 201015 yr Oh yeah, didn't Umbrella Beach chart at something like #197? :mellow: #110, not that it's much better. :teresa:
July 25, 201015 yr Deep Blue Something: Breakfast At Tiffanys #1 Josey #27 Elton John: Sacrifice #1 Club At The End Of The Street #47 Lou Bega: Mambo No. 5 #1 I Got A Girl #55 Wamdue Project: King Of My Castle #1 You're The Reason #39
July 25, 201015 yr Pixie Lott 'Boys & Girls' #1 | 'Cry Me Out' #12 Someone included Orson 'No Tomorrow' & 'Bright Idea' so I'm including this :P
July 25, 201015 yr Pixie Lott 'Boys & Girls' #1 | 'Cry Me Out' #12 Someone included Orson 'No Tomorrow' & 'Bright Idea' so I'm including this :P Didn't it outsell/almost sell as much as Boys & Girls? :lol: The one that immediately springs to my mind is Spiller following Groovejet with the diabolical Cry Baby which scraped into the top 40 for one week at #40, and shouldn't have even done that well to be honest. Groovejet ranks inside my top 50 songs of all time, this is easily in the top 50 worst :puke: kb-xywyqQ_c Thank goodness Sophie went onto bigger and better things than this monstrosity...
July 25, 201015 yr If this counts as Orson have been mentioned to go from #1 hit to no.11 follow flop. James Blunt #01 Your Beautiful / #16 - High
