Recommended Posts

Which artists stopped making music after they had peaked commercially or critically?

 

imo:

 

Miss Diana Vickers really delivered with her second album.

 

So did underrated Queen Holly Valance :jonny:

The Beatles broke up before they could ever flop. They're famous for quitting while being ahead.

Fergie

never understood why she didn't release an album for 10 freaking years!

 

 

Britney also was begging God to break her foot during ITZ, still her prime

and then decided to take the biggest break of her career (until now)

Momoe Yamaguchi. Popularity peak for sure, quality? Well, she probably thought that nothing was topping her rock opera about the end of the world.

That was her critical peak and she was catching fire with streaming, but she had already slowed down a bit (relatively) in terms of constant hits.

True, but think of the constant #1s before that

Anti had more top ten hits than Unapologetic and Talk That Talk + Needed Me is bigger than multiple of her number one hits (hit #13 on the year end, higher than What's My Name for instance) and Love On The Brain was her 4th most streamed song yesterday on Spotify.

She's always released a LOT of singles and a good chunk smashed but then others fell to the wayside, I think Anti was a moment where she focused in and was much more intentional with her releases, consequently every single was a hit except KIB (which even today out streams multiple number ones of hers). I think it felt like less because she wasnt in the period of her career where she was dropping an album a year but the album is absolutely one of her biggest hits wise
