Posted January 22, 200718 yr So will Mika have a long-running career, or will he end up as a flash-in-the-pan? One very important thing to bear in mind is the 'first new #1 of the year jinx' that has been around for the past few years: 2006 - Arctic Monkeys (hype died down very quickly) 2005 - Steve Brookstein (true one-hit wonder) 2004 - Michelle (next hit missed top 10, nothing released after that) 2003 - David Sneddon (gone by end of 2003) 2002 - Aaliyah (only 2 hits since) 2001 - Rui Da Silva (true one-hit wonder) 2000 - Manic Street Preachers (have been 'fanbase only' since then) 1999 - Chef (true one-hit wonder under this name)
January 22, 200718 yr I'm not sure about a long-running career, I get the feeling it might only last for this album's project but you never know, if he builds up a big enough fanbase.
January 22, 200718 yr Considering the past history with the first #1 of the new year, it might end up as a jinx :lol:
January 22, 200718 yr It really depends on the second album. The quality of the debut is amazing, and will give him at least 3 more massive hits (Relax and Love today could even be numbers ones) But if the next album is c**p, he'll shoot himself in the foot!
January 23, 200718 yr 2006 - Arctic Monkeys (hype died down very quickly) - Because they decided not to release anymore singles from that album. 2002 - Aaliyah (only 2 hits since) - That's because she's dead :blink: 2000 - Manic Street Preachers (have been 'fanbase only' since then) - They had been that way for a while before that considering they were pretty old by then.
January 23, 200718 yr If the material is good, then there's no reason he shouldn't have a career. If it goes downhill, he will aswell.
January 23, 200718 yr i think th enext single will be top 20 than a flop then bye bye That's a quick summary of his career :lol:
January 23, 200718 yr 2002 Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta Get Thru This ^_^ 1998 All Saints - Never Ever 1997 Tori Amos - Professional Widow (It's Got To Be Big) 1996 George Michael - Jesus To A Child 1995 Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe 1994 Chaka Demus And Pliers Featuring Jack Radics And Taxi Gang - Twist And Shout I must admit it does look like a bit of a patchy jinxed list! Like Grandwicky says Arctic Monkeys are still going well. Daniel Bedingfield had some more success and from 1993 2 Unlimited, who had a #1 with No Limit, continued to have several further hits but no more #1's
January 23, 200718 yr Form today's perspective, I'd think he will be the biggest star since Robbie Williams. Will take much good material, but the star appears bright to me.
January 23, 200718 yr I smell Corrine Bailey Rae on him. Where's she now? A ton of hype, one big song and then failing on getting a decent hit again. I'll be fair though, her album sold well, but it wasn't really sustained.
January 23, 200718 yr Mika will have an Amazing career :wub: I've downloaded his album and it's amazing! I LOVE Lollipop, a must release ^_^
January 23, 200718 yr If he releases 'Relax, Take It Easy' next then he blatently won't be a OneHitWonder
January 23, 200718 yr Depends really - he needs one massive single in the summer and he'll stick around for ages (a bit like when the Scissor Sisters re-released 'Laura' - that's when it really happened for them as everyone found the album)
January 23, 200718 yr To me, Grace Kelly sounds like a poor Darkness song. I can only hope he goes the same way as them
