Rihanna is the best example of this. The way even her label had no faith in her in the beginning :rip:

Sheryl Crow

 

Everybody wrote her off after All I Wanna Do, but she came back swinging with If It Makes You Happy with her next album :jonnycat:

Meghan Trainor. I feel like ppl really don't realize how big that first era was. Even Ari struggled getting an era as big as Title for several albums into her career.

Spice Girls. 'Wannabe' had all the makings of being an only hit.

This too. I remember hearing this on Music Choice in middle school and thought it was just a throwaway trashy party bop by some faceless singer :deadbanana2: I legit was surprised when i saw a girl in my class singing it the next day and it was becoming a hit :deadbanana2:

The first time I saw the Pon de replay video I genuinely thought that would be the last time we'd hear from rihanna and I'm glad she proved me wrong

The way she's the only one of the 2005 new girls involved in the Destiny's Child tribute to survive to 2007.

Sure. If you didn't hear "Hot N Cold" screaming "I AM A F-KIN HIT", you should have your ears tested.

I remember back in '87 when I first saw Kylie in the video for the Loco-Motion and thought there was no way this girl would be able to beat the novelty of this hit, but she proved me wrong again and again.

My first impression of Kesha was she would be a one hit wonder. I thought Tik Tok was a come and go song and Kesha would disappear after her first album cycle. I changed my opinion with Warrior. I played the **** out of that album... but oh the artisté she turned into with her last few records. Was happy to be wrong.

Jason Derulo. Whatcha Say could've easily been another Iyaz - Replay situation

Ava Max - Sweet But Psycho seemed it would be her only hit stateside but Kings & Queens happened. 

 

Cascada - Everytime We Touch was their only top 40 hit for 3 years and then Evacuate the Dancefloor happened

 

Paramore - for a year it seemed like Misery Business would be their only top 40 crossover but they collected a few more as they evolved.
