Which mainstream artists are on their way to becoming a flop?

I agree that chart success does not = relevancy. There's tons of great music released all the time that don't get anywhere near the Hot 100. 

It's weird how the GP LOVES an artist for an era then want nothing to do with them afterward. 

Unless they have the media paid for like Adele. Literally no one knew she had music coming out until she paid the whole world to advertise 

[bbbsss]

All of them.

[Chris Jackson]

Doja Cat comes to mind. I think shes good but i think she got the good support and investment from the music industry for a top of the top Artist but didnt fully harness it or deliver - and I dont think future albums will make her bigger. But id love to be proven wrong in the future tbh.

Yea I can’t see this happening but I respect your thought

• Ed Sheeran
• Selena Gomez
• Demi Lovato and their alien friends
• Miley Cyrus

These came to my mind immediately.

Especially Ed Sheeran, since the album "÷"  aka "Devide" he hasn't been able to catch a real strong hit like he did with "Perfect" and "Shape Of You".

Sad though, I never cared for his work UNTIL "Bad Habits" and "Shivers" which I totally think are GEMS. Especially Shivers, it's so catchy!

 

Miley Cyrus has never been this good in her entire career but I think many people don't care for her image. She changed from Hannah Montana to the hammer licking Bangerz girl to this hard rock chick. Allthough I must say she seems to fit the hard rock vibe very well, I think most people aren't here for it. Shame though, "Plastic Hearts" is a good album and her live performances of that era are AMAZING. She NAILED every single performance of "Midnight Sky" so flawlessly.

 

Demi Lovato is just messed up at this point, she's constantly hurting her own career with her behavior... the sugargate thing, the alien thing, ...

Let's be real that the career in USA in pop music last about 10 years for an artist. Actually it all depends of the rules of the music business.

Madonna had a lot of great comebacks, but only because she played the rules that she knew again and again (sales + airplay). Madonna died in mp3 era and died even more in streming era. All of these legends played the 'airplay + sales' rules for so long that's why they had a long career.

Xtina died in mp3 era.

If somebody will start career right now (streaming era) and there's not gonna be nothing new besides streaming have a chance for a long career.

The next one for the real flop is Lady Gaga.

[Alexanda]

Billie Eilish: The style-change, i just don't like it, i liked her darker stuff, people change, yes but it is so random. 

The green / black hair is iconic 

I am not her audience, i guess.

30 might debut with less than 25's numbers, but it'll almost certainly sell at least 1 million in the US minimum first week. Y'all can bookmark me.

it didnt.

Honestly, Ariana... she's huge in streaming probably only because of massive playlisting and her last album sold only 170K copies  She's on The Voice now, right? I don't hear about her in news, Twitter etc. At least it's very rare nowadays. Not gonna lie, it seems like people are slowly losing interest in her. Her peak was 2019. She has a huge fandom but even on stan Twitter I don't see as much of her as few years ago. She's definitely capable of #1s because of her fandom but well her last song 34+35 flopped despite of promotion like remix with Doja and Meghan and two music videos 

Next, Billie... well I think we all can agree

What about Nicki?  Her dramas, she probably lost a lot of fans...

34+35 didn't flop. It peaked at number 2.

After releasing a whole remix with two mainstream female rappers and a new music video  At this point it should have been #1 for weeks

Tbh his era in 2017 (don't know how to name it because I forgot but it's some math thing - + × ÷ idk🙈) was HUGE and I really felt his presence and relevancy, Shape Of You and Perfect were EVERYWHERE

 

But now? I don't have feeling that he has a new era at all, haven't heard his new songs anywhere, so it's kinda flop don't you agree?

Hopefully The Weeknd.

I can't ever envision Poot Lovito's career ever reviving itself to be honest, I really think it is done for 

[London Girl 98]

All the members of Little Mix and of course the group itself. They are basic and always will be. 

[CcddAlta]

Definitely, Camila Cabello (she’s so ******* annoying) and Billie Ellish (She’s good but I feel she needs more energy in her music). 

[ElToxico]

I Think we can all agree both Demi Lovato and Halsey havent been able to land one single song in at least a few years.....
