I agree on Dua Lipa. Who could've known that it was just the beginning

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. 

omg I remember when they broke into mainstream. I remember as a teenager I was so pissed. They were a little secret I had that nobody I knew offline knew about,  and then suddenly everyone knew them and they weren't 'my secret band' anymore. It was one of those dramatic things.

Becky G after Shower seemed like she would fade away to oblivia, like her then bf Austin Mahone. 
 

Her becoming one of the biggest and most influential acts in Latin music was a pleasant surprise.

I remember people saying Britney was going to be a 1 Hit wonder.

Cardi B screamed OHW when Bodak Yellow dropped imo. She seemed more a reality star than a rapper with a string of hits. And I'm glad she wasn't because her visuals and her effort on music -when she isn't messy- it's very great.

I remember "I Kissed a Girl" felt like a novelty hit until she quickly surpassed it with Hot n Cold

Carly Rae Jepsen. There was a point after the success of "Call Me Maybe" where it felt like she was not going to be able to establish a longterm career in music and whilst I find the platinum

blonde look she went on to stylistically adopt somewhat questionable, I am pleased that she found a cult and loyal fanbase just large enough to sustain her to the point where she on occasion still has actual Hits.

Honest question: what's the other hit from Tate besides Greedy?

And where are the occasional hits in question? She can't even crack the Canadian Hot 100 now

 

OP: Gaga. Felt like she would be old news by 2010. So glad that didn't happen

Wow, I was thinking her first and only hit was Greedy.

Dua Lipa and Olivia. New rules and drivers licence scream one hit wonder.

Katy Perry. "I Kissed a Girl" was basically a shock value novelty single. 2008 was a way different time for gay stuff remember. But she had another perfect pop smash on her album ("Hot N Cold") and the rest is history.

You Broke Me First - Billie wannabe

She's All I Wanna Be - Olivia wannabe

10:35 - generic dance pop girl.
