The Saturdays last song was No1, and Gentleman has reached No14 (unlikely to peak higher). Now usually when you've had a No1 single, you're considered 'in' and you have an almost guaranteed top 10 hit to follow, and/or a high selling album. The Saturdays have done, I'm sure there are other occasions.

 

I know Roll deep had 2 No1's, followed by a No29 hit, followed by a new album which got to No55, containing the 2 No1's

I think Cascada or David Guetta have the record of worst follow-up (from "Evacuate the Dancefloor" and "Sexy Bitch" respectively) in 2009.

The Saturdays last song was No1, and Gentleman has reached No14 (unlikely to peak higher). Now usually when you've had a No1 single, you're considered 'in' and you have an almost guaranteed top 10 hit to follow, and/or a high selling album. The Saturdays have done, I'm sure there are other occasions.

 

I know Roll deep had 2 No1's, followed by a No29 hit, followed by a new album which got to No55, containing the 2 No1's

 

The 1982 Eurvision winner Nicole followed up her no.1 single 'A Little Peace' with a no.75 hit, 'Give me more Time'.

An interesting piece of chart symmetry as no.75 was the lowest official position at the time.

There have been plenty of one-hit-wonders, where either no follow-up was ever released, or it bombed so completely it missed the T200 entirely.

 

Las Ketchup - Ketchup Song would be an example. :(

Robin Thicke's new single won't do very well. I'm also unsure of how well Daft Punk's new single may do, it all depends on the single choice.

I think you may be surprised by Robin Thicke, that sounds like a very solid follow-up to me!

Icona Pop and Robin Thicke's follow-ups will certainly be interesting to watch. We'll get an idea of how well another Thicke song will do on Monday when the album's released. The second single is "Give It 2 U (feat. Kendrick Lamar)" according to Digital Spy, as a heads up.

I think the new Robin song can be a "decent" hit (top 20?), with the Kendrick feature it should get good airplay.

#166 :(

 

Mind you, on a semi related note Gotye missed the top 200 completely with his follow-up.

Because a song called "Good Time", which she receives equal billing on, reached #5 last year.

It was called 'Eyes Wide Open'.

 

Oh, so that did get released. I thought it got cancelled!
