Throughout 2022, many unexpected artists had big hits after being written off.

 

Which do you see maintaining their momentum and getting more hits?

Not Kim & not Kate Bush, 

 

Nicki, Bebe, & Sam could but it isn’t the strongest of likelihoods (I feel that Nicki has the best odds out of these 3 though, she has a huge fanbase unlike the other 2 so that already gives her a big advantage in terms of launching future singles or collaborations)

 

Beyonce & Rihanna weren’t flops before but I imagine some people would say they are, and if so they are obviously going to continue to find tons of success.

Did Charlie Puth have a comeback, other than on TikTok?

I COULD HAVE MY GIXCO ON

UGCCO

zGuccy

GUCCI

I fail to realize how is an Sam considered an “flop” when they literally have an smash hit or two on every era with all albums platinum or more…

Sia had the most random come back. However I don't think she flopped. 

 

Why is Sam Smith on the poll did he flop before?

No… they didn’t if we wanna be technical, people deemed them an flop due to their “Love Goes” low chart debut despite the album nearing 2xP and according to chartmasters the 10th best selling album of 2020..

 

none tbh 

i’d love for megan to continue to getting hits though

Now let's not be delusional, Love Goes definitely flopped, especially in comparison to his debut and The Thrill of It All and the success of Promises, DWAS, and HDYS.

lol, it’s literally 200k from reaching 2xP RIAA, it’s an soon third consecutive multi platinum album in the most powerful market in the world still doesn’t equal the title “flop”.

I feel like Bebe could find a way to carve out a nice little niche of dance pop, she's a really strong writer

Light Switch and Left & Right were both cute hits (not smashes but definite improvements chart wise from his droplets era). But honestly, I don't foresee him having any more success with his latest effort (would love to be wrong but it really came and went unfortunately)

Going 2x Platinum in one country 2 years after release doesn't change the fact it flopped. 

None but maybe Sam Smith

I was told Rihanna’s music career was over and that she had been written off. 

 

I was then told that, following the release of “LMU” and in spite of its Global Top Ten peak, her music career was indefinitely over and that the OST lullaby was a flop. 
 

By way of this thread…

 

The answer is Rihanna, I fear.

And? It is eligible 2xP in Canada and most “successful” 2020’s album don’t have much multi platinum certifications at slightest, look at Folklore, Positions, Montero esc..

none. tiktok hits create zero hype for the following release.

Why is Meghan neck & neck with Sam , I know this site hates Sam but y’all DAMN know Sam has more of a likelihood of smashing again giving their track record 

Sam could maybe.

 

Kim and Bebe absolutely no chance. Meghan I think it's unlikely and this feels like a fluke.

- Bebe Rexha will always have a hit every now and then. I don’t see her fading into total oblivion within the next 5 years atleast. 
- I can see Sia having a 2016-level repeak with her next record, but she should serve bops and visuals, the potential is there.

- Megan and Charlie could maintain it for a while but it’ll be harder for them than the above.

- Sorry but I don’t see it for Sam and Kim (especially), although they had a hit with unholy but the blowback was very noticeable on social media with a lot of viral tweets dragging and mocking the song.
