allforyou Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I think anything over 3 years is too much Link to post Share on other sites

Underclass King Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I consider 4+ years to be a really big break unless you’re someone like Adele. Link to post Share on other sites
#FreeBritney Activist frozemmm Posted February 23 #FreeBritney Activist Share Posted February 23 really depends on the artist. artists like Adele i feel benefit from 4-5 year breaks while Xtina for example could have been bigger competition to Britney in the 2000s if she released more often, tho Britney would have still come out on top Link to post Share on other sites
IamCY Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 It really depends, but I think anything above 3 years is a big gamble. See Witness, she even had the Superbowl in between. But then males have it better, JT was fine in 2013 and Bruno's comeback will probably be too, even though 5 years is WAY too long Link to post Share on other sites
#FreeBritney Activist Enzolorenzo Posted February 23 #FreeBritney Activist Share Posted February 23 It depends tbh. Didn’t Sade release an album in 2010 after a 10 years break which turned out to be a big success? I feel like some artists might benefit from breaks. Link to post Share on other sites
Bicassie Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Someone at the start of their career shouldn’t wait more than 2 or 3 years for their sophomore album! a more established act can wait up until 5 years, but at that point things become more risky depending on the artist Link to post Share on other sites

StrangerInTheDark Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Break makes no difference unless market is changing. Last few crucial times for pop stars to take a break were in late 00s amd mid 10s. Edited February 23 by StrangerInTheDark Link to post Share on other sites
sickening Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 depends on your hold on the gp and how strong your fanbase is Link to post Share on other sites
mxoonlight Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Anything more than three if you aren’t doing more projects, the demand for you is NOT that high Link to post Share on other sites
Gabriel Florin Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Depends on artist. If you're an alternative artist like Fiona Apple, who can have 5-7 years gap between studio albums but always cames back with a bang, it doesn't matter. If you're a mainstream pop singer like Christina Aguilera, 5 year gaps are TOO MUCH Edited February 23 by Gabriel Florin Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 It depends but I think anything more than 3 years is generally risky Link to post Share on other sites
Komet blu Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I think it largely depends on what kind of artist you are + who's your target audience + the general state of the industry, but anything over 5 years for someone who considers themselves a full-time recording artist is too much imo.

istan4badgalriri Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Depends what the status of the artist is and whether they remain present in the public eye during their hiatus or just completely disappear. Link to post Share on other sites

perpetual novice Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Depends on the kind of music you make. If you are a popgirl and work with large teams of people and just release bops and stuff like that there's no reason to vanish for multiple years and expect success when you come back. If you're more of a singer-songwriter and need time to live your life to get the material you need to write an album then a handful of years is more reasonable Link to post Share on other sites
Kiss It Better Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 as others have said, it depends on the artists someone like Katy Perry should release more often (2-3 years break is more than enough) while someone like Adele could take over 5 years break and do well Link to post Share on other sites
Thinking Of You Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 With streaming meaning everything today, two years at the most. Link to post Share on other sites
Artistofthedecade Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) According to CM analysis 3 i would say. Maybe even 2 years at streaming era. Edited February 23 by Artistofthedecade Link to post Share on other sites
ATWK Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Depends on how you end your previous era and how you keep yourself in the spotlight. For example, JT took a 7-year break and still smashed while Katy took a 4-year break and flopped. Like most people have said, anything over 3 years is pushing it. Link to post Share on other sites
GreatestLoveofAll Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 for pop stars like Dua or Ariana, anything over three years without any music is devastating. If your like Beyonce you can afford to take four, five year breaks because your versatile to do other projects and keep your name out there. Not that the other two cant but I don't see it working for them. Link to post Share on other sites
