  1. "Make Me..." did not flop by any mean. It did ok, it was certified platinium, charted in the Top 20. It was a minor hit.
  2. "Make Me..." is NOT a solo single so I don't understand why you're bringing it in a conversation about solo singles when Spears has NOT released a solo singles since Perfume. The only official singles that have been officialy released since are : Pretty Girls, Make Me..., Slumber Party and recently, Hold Me Closer. All 4 are collaborations.

This is probably the first OG flop era for a pop girl. It's the risk of a radical change in image and sound. Radical change can really either be highly successful or a massive failure. there is really no in between. The thing with Bionic was that Christina felt hounded by competition to venture into EDM, didnt want to be left behind. If only she made that shift more organic it could've been a little more succesful. Her career would have really looked extremely different if it wasnt for this LP

The shift was organic she had a greatest hits era with an electronic sound (where her last solo top ten was from) beforehand, what ruined Bionic and ha chances to be successful was label interference and the subsequent delays, she released Bionic too late

Uh Britney is still literally one of the biggest celebrities on earth. What power withered away? Her names as powerful as it was in 2007 tbh.

You cant open a single news page CNN or Entertainment that isnt reporting everything Britney does lately. She trends just from posting on Insta. Nobody else right now is the talk of the world like Britney. The entire GP came to her defense, is still defending her, and her controversies consistently are top of mind. Yet she can still tour the world and sell out arena's and stadiums. Who else is like that rn?

She's popular for all the wrong reasons, the delusion :skull:

How did Britney Jean kill her career? It produced an ICONIC single for her that nobody HERE thought would take off. When you mention Britney, people automatically think to speak "Work *****!" or "It's Britney *****" (which the GP think are the same songs:rip:). She revived an entire city on her name alone (I live in Vegas I know this) and no Im not talking about the Singapore Indoor Stadium. A Stadium seats 40,000 and up, did Britney not have a crowds ranging from 40,000 to nearly 60,000 on her tour with no album out? She did. 

Oh my at the Britney land  :deadbanana:

No i'm not? It's common knowledge her solo albums post-Artpop flopped and Rain On Me wasn't that big of a hit despite the Ariana feature.

 

Gaga is past her peak and that's okay. I too disagree with calling Artpop a "career-ending" since she still managed to keep her name afloat but saying she reached new heights is just pathetic given how massive her first records were. Do you think honestly think Shallow solely gave her the same amount of attention as the consecutive smash hits from 2008-2011? :dies:

Shallow will be her biggest song ever in a few years  :skeleton:

You mean her acting career? We're talking about music in this thread and ASIB wasn't as big as her debut album and (arguably) BTW.

I know I didn't just see Hard Candy slander in here... the album that went on to sell the highest grossing solo female tour of all time to this day...

Bionic and Witness for sure. I hope Katy can prove us wrong though. 
 

Gaga/Britney career is not over, they just haven’t found much success with their new releases that’s all.

 

Gaga did bounce back with her tour, smart move to be the first pop girl to go on tour after COVID, demand was obviously going to be high.

 

Britney just need to sit down with a good therapist and song producers to get a mild hit. Gays want a new album from her.

And her career isn’t destroyed. She’s had four consecutive decades of #1 albums, inducted into the RRHOF, and her last official single charted on the Hot 100. She’s closer to 60 than 50. Janet continues to be acclaimed and revered while those who tried to **** her over are now enjoying the karma they deserve. How’s that sexual assault court case going, Les Moonves? :celestial5:

"Career destroying" needs to be defined more tbh? Are we talking temporarily because some of the albums in here definitely DID cause a major downward trajectory in the girlies' careers, but then they came back with career-defining albums. 

 

Can't seem to come up with one that's objectively career-destroying to the point the artist just disappeared. Even Katy's had success with her Vegas show after Smile so.

Dua Lipa/Rosalia/Billie Eilish all started before her. Stop acting like she benefited in that "phenomenon" when the artists I mentioned aren't outselling her yet despite more tour dates.

Witness and that Christina album.

i mean, Janet is not a commercial flop by any means. was just feel that she would have been a lot bigger (a la Madonna) had Janet been alone for the superbowl.

and im not too immersed in the Kesha v luke case, but its still ongoing. ask @TomTom2288 for accurate info on that

dont we have to wait for Lorde's follow up for Solar Power to be considered career destroying ??? 

 

OT: Queen

Witness

Other girls had flop albums but there was no greater career ending ERA than Witness. Outside of the floppage of the album itself, Katy absolutely murdered her image with every public appearance during the entire era. Truly the messiest era of all time.

Britney Jean

Such a bad idea that whole era was :rip: If it were for the album just being a cute Piece of Me Residency-hyping E.P of 6-7 tracks, I could see Britney transitioning into a more successful Glory era. 

 

Besides that, Bionic, ARTPOP,Witness and Romance come to mind

It really was. Seeing her plummet from one of the world's biggest popstars to a complete TANK as a young Katycat was just...shocking :skull: That too, the Swifties definitely were adding fire to the era since Rep came out in the same year and was a success. Nnnn, that era was something else:rip:

Goodbye Lullaby wasn't exactly a disaster but it definitely started Avril's flop page. And it's followed by ST which is truthfully a career suicide :rip: . Her career ended with Rock N Roll. I love the song tho but the way her team handled it :rip: .

It's funny cause Gaga is still a A-lister. When did her career end exactly? 

Posted

Witness and Bionic are the two albums that MPG’s haven’t really recovered from. Katy was on top of the world prior to witness and the GP said no. 
 

Christina was known for taking a while between eras but she had released Keeps Getting Better in between BTTB and Bionic to somewhat moderate success. After Bionic though…. As much as I hate to say it but she just never truly recovered. 
 

Had Shallow and ASIB not happened (plus some moderate success with Chromatica), I would’ve said Joanne for Gaga. 


Britney is a somewhat special case since I suppose we could call BJ a career ending album in theory but due to the conservatorship, we haven’t truly had a Britney controlled album in over a decade so it’s not really fair to mention. 
 

Indie/small band but Hellogoodbye released their debut album that had several moderately successful singles but released their sophomore album which was so stylistically different that everyone dropped them.
