if we're talking about artists that are still relevant, so they're kinda relevant despite having no big hits, Sabrina Carpenter is the right answer.

Motivation was global, but it wasnt really a Moderate hit in any country besides I guess Brazil?

 

Looks like it did decent in Australia. Wonder if its certification is outdated

fka? i never got the vibe that she tried to make hits, she kinda has just been in her own ever evolving lane of music.

Sabrina Carpenter (released her first EP in 2014, no Top 40 single)
Joshua Bassett (just a few years trying, so maybe doesn't count)
- neither of these two where able to capitalise on the "Drivers License" release week drama in 2021.

- Joshua flopped so badly that he appears to have turned Christian.
Normani (no Top 20 as a solo artist, although "Motivation" was a minor hit, so perhaps she is a borderline case) 
H.E.R. (really only hear about her in awards season)

H.E.R :giraffe:

Madison Beer

I don’t stan H.E.R. but Slide is a hit for her even C. Tangana sampled it. 

Posted

Sabrina for sure

Stella Parton, Dolly Parton's younger sister (I had no idea she existed till yesterday).

Best Part & 2 On isnt niche:rip:

 

The radio spammed 2 On on Rhythmic radio back in 2014

 

Best Part is a global classic

Not sure what you think you're trying to say. In my country, SZA has both the #1 song and #1 album for the last week. She charts in the Top 40 quite often and has platinum album and song certifications, so people hear about here plenty of times outside of awards season.

Tory Kelly. Scooter Braun gave her every big platform (a solo vmas performance, grammy performances) but still she only got a #51 peak on hot 100.
