Fleur’s great, but Sax remains her only Top 75 Hit.

 

Technically not true. Because 'Sax' was also garbage She had a #53 hit featuring on 'One In A Million' by Drumsound & Bassline Smith a little while before she was on X Factor.

 

In any case, 'Sax' always seemed like a gimmick (and she was on the notoriously shitty at managing long careers Syco) so I don't think it's exactly surprising she was a one hit wonder.

 

Also in looking this up I've been reminded her debut album was called 'Love, Sax And Flashbacks', oh the cringe 💀 They really banked her entire career on people remembering her singing 'Uptown Funk' on X Factor.

precisely Syco really didn't know what to do with her beyond 'well people liked her Uptown Funk performance on X Factor so let's rip that off' and then they didn't bother
It's a shame as Fleur had the material. More and More was a great follow-up and Breakfast was a smash waiting to happen, plus a couple more songs had potential on the album, so it really was just Syco being truly shoddy.
She could go back to drum and bass which is popular at the moment, after all her first hit was 'One In A Million' with Drumsound and Bassline Smith!

Argeed.

I think I agree with you on this one Joseph. There was potential for follow up success.

Interested to hear how you justify RAYE increasing 14k since the last update and Miley increasing 28k as "rapidly catching up" :lol:

It's a shame as Fleur had the material... a couple more songs had potential on the album.

 

There was a track called Baby Don't Dance, which sampled Hear The Drummer Get Wicked (which was probably a sample in itself), that could have been a hit for her. It was very much along the same lines as Sax (still a bop!) but it was her best chance of a second hit.

I hope INHTMF can climb higher and that Tory can f*** off back out of the top 40

Whilst I wholeheartedly agree, I thought you were referring to LadBaby before I checked. :lol:
