October 28, 2024Oct 28 Eve....relevant in the early 00s but disappeared B.O.B. - Rent a rapper in the late 00s and early 10s....now nowhere to be found. M.I.A. - Had a few hits, a single with Madonna and disappeared. Ja Rule - Big in the 00s...no longer relevant Ashanti - Darling of hip-hop and R&B. Had that hit with Aitch two years ago as a sample, and that was it. Ciara - Had a few big hits in the mid 00s...nowhere to be seen. Carly Rae Jepsen - had a few hits in the early to mid 2010s, now seems to be a staple at Pride Events. Edited October 28, 2024Oct 28 by WurtheringHeight
October 28, 2024Oct 28 B.O.B. I think still makes music, it's just no one cares about him anymore after his flat earth conspiracy stuff and the like.
October 28, 2024Oct 28 B.O.B. I think still makes music, it's just no one cares about him anymore after his flat earth conspiracy stuff and the like. Blimey. Yeah, that wouldn't have mainstream appeal. Britney Spears. She's now something of a joke. No hit single outright since 2015 (I don't count that Elton John feature as you can't hear her).

No hit single outright since 2015 (I don't count that Elton John feature as you can't hear her). Well she herself retired after Blackout. The record label ... and some fans, and you know who you are!!!!, pudhed her to do albums she didn't want. Her dad, roo. She wss forced to do it. She hsd no hand in them. It's different.
October 28, 2024Oct 28 Carly Rae Jepsen - had a few hits in the early to mid 2010s, now seems to be a staple at Pride Events. Carly Rae to be fair has shunned the mainstream since then, and is now a critical darling with a fairly small but devout fanbase.
October 28, 2024Oct 28 Carly Rae to be fair has shunned the mainstream since then, and is now a critical darling with a fairly small but devout fanbase. Thank you. She's done reasonbly OK with the albums she's had, so fair play to her.
October 28, 2024Oct 28 Shawn Mendes had back to back hits with If I Can’t Have You & Señorita in 2019 and then missed the top 10 with Wonder (both the song and album) in 2020

No hit single outright since 2015 (I don't count that Elton John feature as you can't hear her). Didn't Britney basically retire from music though? I don't exactly follow her closely but I understood she packed it in after her hugely successful Piece of Me tour and just before what would have been the highly lucrative Las Vegas residency. Walking away at that point doesn't seem like a fall to me.

October 28, 2024Oct 28 Lily Allen was pretty huge in the 2000s and had multiple top 10 hits from her first three albums but crickets when she released her fourth album in 2018. I suppose the signs of diminishing returns were creeping in with Sheezus era though sadly.
October 28, 2024Oct 28 DaBaby seemed to be popping off big around 2019-2020, two billboard #1 albums....then cratered his goodwill with the Rolling Loud shit and pretty much fell off the map also no mention of Vanilla Ice yet? x

Walking away at that point doesn't seem like a fall to me. Basically! She was forced to release other people's songs given to her by her dad. It's not really her music after Blackout, so it's unfair to say she fell off when she basically retired.
October 28, 2024Oct 28 Iggy Azealea - she was hot property in the mid 2010s, and now she's nowhere to be found. Anastacia - Big in the 2000s, but as I'm aware she had a lot of personal problems, she's not really anywhere to be found. Christina Aguilera - She hasn't troubled the singles chart since 2014. Lil' Bow Wow - Had some hits in the early 2000s, but not relevant anymore. Cher Lloyd - Infamous for causing a riot when "Swagger Jagger" got #1, had a few other hits and just vanished. Conor Maynard - Popular in 2012, faded away and known for denying paternity of a love-child. Plan B - Had a few big hits in 2009/10, made a comeback that wasn't successful and nowhere.
October 28, 2024Oct 28 A lot of you are literally naming popstars who have a "normal" popstar trajectory/career.... LMAO. Naming Britney, Xtinct, Anastacia, Katy Perry etc.. are not the same "drop offs" as people like Alexandra Burke (ugh), Duffy, Jess Glynne, Leona Lewis (ugh), Example etc.. (Maybe, perhaps Anastacia tbh - but she still had 3 huge eras and a very successful greatest hits...)
October 28, 2024Oct 28 Yeah agreed, when I read the topic title it makes me think only of acts who went from one, one-off mega era and then followed it up with one that basically did nothing and never recovered. The likes of Hear'Say spring to mind first to me. Their second album was released the same year as the mega triple-platinum No.1 debut and peaked at No.24? That is quite some dramatic fall in no time at all.
October 28, 2024Oct 28 Iggy Azalea's an interesting one in that she had such a massive year in 2014 where it felt like she was unstoppable, and she literally hasn't been seen in the top 40 since 2015.

That is quite some dramatic fall in no time at all. I think Hear'Say fell off quicker than that. I'd say about the time it took from someone buying the album to someone listening to it.
October 28, 2024Oct 28 In the early 1990's, Shabba Ranks was the world's biggest Reggae star, a double Grammy winner and the fastest rising new artist on the scene, with people falling over themselves to get him on their show. Then he exposed himself as a vile homophobe on Channel 4's The Word and was promptly dropped from his world tour, ditched by his label and the world cancelled him so hard that few have had such bigger falls . He limped out a further couple of poorly received albums and then promptly disappeared down the toilet he belonged in. This is an example of the history books telling you something different to what actually happened. The interview on The Word happened in 1992 and then he went on to have his 2 biggest hits in 1993 with "Mr. Loverman" making number 3 and "Housecall" making number 8. He also won the 2nd of his Grammy's in 1993.
