OmGGGG I haven’t thought about this song since 2011 thank you for reminding me of this absolute BANGER.

 

OT: Nelly Furtado, Leona Lewis, Cassie all deserved much bigger careers than they were given

short lived as far as solo careers. since music careers are spaced out due to their nature I'm not taking into consideration years.

The Fame/Monster > Born This Way > ARTPOP

 

[Reflektor_Creep]

The Beatles.

[brenda-walsh]

avril lavigne

[Blue.]

People saying Amy and Tupac   those were short lived people not careers.

[ArtForFreedom]

Cyndi, Alanis, Fiona Apple 

[Tropez]

Not the most iconic. But incredible. 
 

Ashanti. From 2001-2003 she was everywhere. Her voice was all over the radio, her songs played all summer. Then her label had major issues and just like that her time was done. 
 

Her moment was in between the Y2K pop era and the rap dominance. 

[Shimenawa]

Cyndi, Paula, Legend X, Katy, Kesha, Cardi B
