Posted April 13, 20196 yr Just to be clear on this, we're talking follow ups that failed to reach at least the top 10. I thought it would be good to get a definitive list so post away people. I'll start with a few examples I know of: - Lou Bega - 'I Got A Girl' (follow up to 'Mambo No.5 (A Little Bit Of...)', #55 in December 1999) - Spiller - 'Cry Baby' (follow up to 'Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)', #40 in February 2002) - Tomcraft - 'Brainwashed (Call You)' (follow up to 'Loneliness', #43 in October 2003) - Blu Cantrell - 'Make Me Wanna Scream' (follow up to 'Breathe' with Sean Paul, #24 in December 2003)
April 13, 20196 yr Few off the top of my head, had to wiki positions lmao Cascada - Dangerous after Evacuate The Dancefloor (#67) Owl City - Vanilla Twilight after Fireflies (#95) Diana Vickers - The Boy Who Murdered Love after Once (#36) Kesha - Blow after We R Who We R (#32) LMFAO - Champagne Showers after Party Rock Anthem (#32)
April 13, 20196 yr One that immediately springs to mind is Omi in 2015, with Hula Hoop, his follow up to Cheerleader, only reaching #75.
April 13, 20196 yr Nicole followed up her number 1 hit, the Eurovision 1982 winning 'A Little Peace' with 'Give Me More Time' which reached number 75. In 1984 Nena reached number 1 with '99 Red Balloons'. The follow up, 'Just A Dream', peaked at number 70.
April 13, 20196 yr Owl City - Vanilla Twilight after Fireflies (#95) For what little it's worth, Vanilla Twilight was #94. It deserved better.
April 13, 20196 yr Music and You - Room 5 ft Oliver Cheatham - #38 (follow up to Make Luv) Edited April 13, 20196 yr by TheSnake
April 13, 20196 yr A few recent ones: Ava Max - So Am I (Sweet But Psycho) #16 - could change Benny Blanco - I Found You (Eastside) #29 Clean Bandit - Baby (Solo) #15 Rudimental - Let Me Live (These Days) #41 Eminem - Nowhere Fast (River) DNC Sam Smith - One Last Song (Too Good at Goodbyes) #27 Calvin Harris - Faking It (Feels) #97 DJ Khaled - Top Off (Wild Thoughts) #41 I really wouldn't call missing the Top 10 not 'successful' though - Top 40 perhaps
April 13, 20196 yr Luis Fonsi is another recent example, Despacito was massive but follow up Échame La Culpa - with Demi Lovato as well - only got to #46.
April 13, 20196 yr Bit of a strange example but after two successive number one singles, follow up Big Fish Little Fish only got to #81 for Bob the Builder. :lol:
April 13, 20196 yr Author Few more I earthed up: - The Corrs - 'Irresistible' (follow up to 'Breathless', #20 in November 2000) - Eamon - 'Love Them Ho's' (follow up to 'F*** It (I Don't Want You Back)', #24 in October 2004) - Lenny Kravitz - 'Black Velveteen' (follow up to 'Fly Away', #83 in December 1999)
