Why do UK pop girls always become UK flop girls
 

Leona
Alexandra
Pixie Lott
Duffy
Eliza Doolittle
Cher Lloyd
Lily Allen (to an extent with her new album)
Ellie Goulding (as above after LMLYD you'd expect her album to smash)

there's probably more but i just can't think of any


The first 6 for sure had massive first era's but they were quickly dropped by brits in their following era's, why? :think:

Duffy had a second era?

This happens to every pop artist in the end except for the obvious exceptions (Madge etc)

The UK are so disloyal to their pop girls compared to the U.S. :worry:

Adele broke the curse though!

But yeah the UK pop girls flop the hardest :(

So true!

I am still a big Kate Nash fan

It's usually the girls that explode onto the scene that flop hardest, adele, paloma, little mix (ellie too i guess) all debuted kind averagely but then just grew from there

the BRITS/BBC tend to pump more and more energy into promoting new music and artists and then just toss them to the side :shrug: unless you're under 25 and only one album into your career (or you're part of a massive label with milions to buy them out), Radio 1 aren't gonna be interested.

Talk about an ironic title

Maybe it's because the girls in the OP have big debut eras and can't live up to the hype in the second era. Plus they lose the whole 'brand new artist' shtick too

I mourn Little Boots' career to this day

Lily Allen never flopped. :nono:

Sheezus undeniably underperformed compared to INYIM, plus it was (arguably) a much weaker album

Lily isn't a flop and is way above all of em

(not including Ellie) (I don't stan Ellie but why is she on here?)

Ellie didn't flop

Delirium is kinda flopping despite LMLYD and On My Mind being smashes :worry:

It underperformed yes, but still got number one and she was widely talked about and Air Balllom and Hard Out Here were mediocre hits, so clearly isn't a "flop"!

She got bigger with every album/rerelease, plus she was featured on some of the biggest songs of the past couple of years with Outside & I Need Your Love and with the huge success of LMLYD you'd have just expected the demand for her newest album to be a lot higher than what it was, it only debuted at 3

the album is doing well, not as well as her others but isn't doing badly, Gold Certification isn't bad.

Justice for Air Balloon

Air Balloon is her best song

I didn't say they both flopped, i just said to an extent, meaning they're both underperforming compared to their previous success'

stan!

Our Time is my favourite from Lily's recent album

underperforming, but maybe flop means different to you, to be it means there album major failed and hardly anybody knew they had another era like Duffy and Eliza

It went #1 but it was her lowest first week sales to date :shrug:

Nailed it. We don't support longevity.

yeah true, but I think that's more to do with sales in general at the moment. Exceptions aside, it sold pretty much the same/a bit more as other albums which went to #1

I wonder who'll be next to go out of Foxes and Jess Glynne

both?

the only acceptable answer, really

Foxes is already there really isn't she?

It's just the music industry isn't it. Fickle. And women especially have a harder time because there is more of an emphasis on their appearance than men, so getting older, and maturer with age, not wanting to be a sex object etc. will all be factors. And the UK industry doesn't have the wealth of the US market to continually push established artists so they're pretty much left to their own devices after they've had their peak.

looking at the sales, she was lucky she released when she did, the week before she'd have been blocked and the week after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_i...ber-one_albums
Jess, foxes isn't big enough, she'll just grow

Whilst she's still in her Body Talk era I refuse to accept her floppage

Cheryl isn't flopping

Her last few songs say otherwise also didnt her album get like a peak of 18?

Crazy Stupid Love and I Don't Care were both #1 :think:
