Posted July 8, 201312 yr 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
July 8, 201312 yr I think Cascada or David Guetta have the record of worst follow-up (from "Evacuate the Dancefloor" and "Sexy Bitch" respectively) in 2009.

July 8, 201312 yr Since Gezza's list was posted, we can now include the Script's "Six Degrees Of Separation", Nicky Romero's "Like Home", Florence + The Machine's "Lover To Lover", Robbie Williams' "Different", and Ne-Yo's "Forever Now". Edited July 8, 201312 yr by Ne Plus Ultra

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

Las Ketchup - Ketchup Song would be an example. :(
July 9, 201312 yr Las Ketchup - Ketchup Song would be an example. :( What a crying shame that is too.
July 9, 201312 yr 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.
July 9, 201312 yr Whenever Sam & The Womp can be bothered to release a follow-up, I think it'll miss the top 200.
July 9, 201312 yr 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!
July 9, 201312 yr 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.
July 10, 201312 yr 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 the new Robin song can be a "decent" hit (top 20?), with the Kendrick feature it should get good airplay.
July 10, 201312 yr I CANT BELIEVE YALL FORGOT ABOUT Call me maybe- carly rae jepsen (n0.1) This kiss- flopped hard
July 10, 201312 yr I CANT BELIEVE YALL FORGOT ABOUT Call me maybe- carly rae jepsen (n0.1) This kiss- flopped hard #166 :( Mind you, on a semi related note Gotye missed the top 200 completely with his follow-up. Edited July 10, 201312 yr by Silver Rocket
July 10, 201312 yr Did Gotye actually even officially release a follow up? It was called 'Eyes Wide Open'.
July 10, 201312 yr I CANT BELIEVE YALL FORGOT ABOUT Call me maybe- carly rae jepsen (n0.1) This kiss- flopped hard Because a song called "Good Time", which she receives equal billing on, reached #5 last year.
July 10, 201312 yr It was called 'Eyes Wide Open'. Oh, so that did get released. I thought it got cancelled!
