Norah Jones. Sis debut album sold like 35 million copies then she VANISHED lol

How has no one said Vitamin C ??? She was billed as the next main pop girl in the early 2000s, on magazine covers with Beyoncé and P!NK and yet after her debut she just vanished ! Her debut had two top 40 hits, her second album was expected to smash but she fumbled so bad…

Right? it was still a hit, not everything has to be #1 on every chart. and Feels literally has more than 1B streams on Spotify

Even NRO performed pretty well, I think it was a radio hit? She could have easily revived her career with that song but she unfortunately did not do enough to promote it. I think that was one of the worst butterfly effects I've seen in pop music as of recent.

Christina: 1998-2003, 2006 - 7 years
Katy: 2009-2014 - 6 years
Miley: 2006-2009, 2013, 2023  - 6 years
Meghan Trainor: 2014, 2016 - 2 years
Lorde: 2013 -  1 year
Tate McRae: Nov 2023- March 2024 - 5 months

I'd say Fifth Harmony.

 

They had two massive smash hits, but their albums would not sell and they literally fell off when Camila left.

For that stage name alone, she don't even deserve to be discussed.

If we talking about MPG, I think Fergie had the shortest solo career. 

Posted

Perhaps the most iconic 15 minute MPG, Ms. Paula Abdul

 

Grand opening - 1988

 

Grand closing - 1991

Dev, Michelle branch and Meghan Trainor were good answers, Gayle and tones and I were one hit wonders which is a different ballpark 

 

i'm not a huge Katy fan but I am a fan and she clearly lasted awhile, same with Nelly F and Christina … sometimes people let personal hate over power simple facts. Like sorry but the sky is blue weather you like it or not 🥴

 

I would say Fergie or Gwen but both took a super long break by choice not by flopping and were in very successful groups before going solo 

 

Also hate to say it because I love her but Ashlee Simpson

Oop this is facts actually, good answer

yeah i love Nelly/Gwen/Fergie but they just kinda dissapeared after smashing hard in 1/2 eras in the 2000s. Fergie has big moments with BEP right after though.

 

Katy has like 9 #1 2008-2013, then have some cute hits until 2020, so not exactly a short career

@dirrtydiana what's the problem sis, this not enough for you? If you think my posts are to react that way, and can't answer with a logical sentence (or a fact), then please ignore them. I know you can do it :gaycat2:

gotye, he soared high and then simply left the building

The way he released the biggest song of the decade and completely dipped, iconic

listen I'm the first to shade/drag Katy for her sh*tty decisions and general dingbattery but be reasonable for  a second… her career was way longer than others by other pop girls lol :deadbanana4:

 

OT: Willa Ford, Katharine McPhee, Eliza Doolittle, Sky Ferreira, Keri Hilson, Natalia Kills, Kiiara, Gayle, Dove Cameron, Kat DeLuna, Jessie J (stateside at least!), KT Tunstall, Anna Nalick (deserved better tbh!), Hilary Duff, Leona Lewis, Jordin Sparks, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield

Posted

OH AND OF COURSE!

 

Dev :rip:

Posted

oh and Ashlee Simpson, who also

deserved better :chick3:

Not yall naming artists like Fergie and Nelly Furtado who had multiple hits and were relevant for years.  

It would have to be a true one or two hit wonder, like Katy Perry.  


 

 

I was just having a laugh since this is a very obvious attempt at a Katy-hate thread made by a known Katy hater, but this comment made me spit my water out :dies: 

in what universe is Katy a one or two hit wonder? Some of these haters are so corny lmao

 

ot: Norah Jones? Her album was massive and she was everywhere during that era, and then she just….disappeared.

 

Lorde is one of the most recent examples. 
 

Fergie/Gwen/Nelly at least had multiple eras where they succeeded commercially whether as part of a group or solo.

You forgot NRO sis, which has more units than some people's top 10 "hits" :gaycat2:

I've never seen even a remotely similar crash like Katy Perry's. She started as a pop/rock girl with music for the late years of teens as a target group, then switched to a extremely tasteless music for toddlers like literally no one over 6 years old would not listen to her as a target group. Birthday was the beginning of the end and Swish Swish really digged deep low.

Ashlee Simpson

 

She was legit HUGE in mid 2004 (400k first week, #1 pop smash, 3M copies sold) and it was all over by 2006.
