Staying relevant and current in the music world is never easy, and while some have thrived, unfortunately we've lost a few along the way since 2010. Lets remember those who failed and flopped and may not recover to join us in the 2020s.

Nelly Furtado (2001-2012)
While she reigned supreme in the 2000s with hits like Promiscuous, Say It Right and Im Like A Bird, Nelly struggled this decade with her 2012 album Spirit Indestructible not lighting the charts on fire. I think she released another one too but we'd all given up by then.

Spoiler:

Cher Lloyd (2010-2014)
Once known for her appearence on the 2010 series of The X Factor, she is now more known for the "who didnt flush the toilet after they've 'ad a SHET" video. Cher struggled to keep up with her 2014 release 'Sorry Im Late'. She might've even had another album since then.. I guess no one knows.

Spoiler:

Dev (2010-2012)
She had all the makings to be the CharliXCX of the early 2010s. She released her debut album 'The Night The Sun Came Up', but somewhere around the 2012 mark she fell off the map completely and no one has heard from her since..

Spoiler:

Taio Cruz (2009-2012)
Around the turn of the decade, Taio had some big party hits such as 'Break Your Heart' and 'Dynamite'. He even had a song with Kylie Minogue. The party didnt last long.

Spoiler:

Stooche (2012-2013)
They could've been the Atomic Kitten of the 10s, but after album delay after album delay (and that messy TLC cover) the girls finally released their album in 2013. Only problem was by then everyone had forgotten them.

Spoiler:

B.o.B. (2009-2012)
We all remember that one with Bruno Mars.. and that one with her from Paramore.. and that other one..

Spoiler:

Wiz Khalifa (2010-2010/2016)
Amber Rose's baby daddy had that one song about colours back in 2010.. and that fast and furious one.. he released a couple more (I think?) but don't ask anyone what they were called.

Spoiler:

Eve (1999-2013)
She was once one of the biggest names in female rap. In the late 90s-early 00s she had a number of hits like 'Whos That Girl', 'Love Is Blind' and a couple with Gwen Stefani! However after a long hiatus, her 2013 comeback didnt do enough to get her back in the charts.

Spoiler:

Plan B (2010-2012)
While he did release songs prior to 2010, no one cared until then. He had a couple of hits like 'She Said' and 'Ill Manors', but the hits didnt last.

Spoiler:

Shontelle (2009-2010)
No one really knows what happened to her, some say James Arthur ruined her career.

Spoiler:

JLS (2009-2012)
Another X Factor act, they had some hits back at the start of the decade, however as of late, they've become more known for troubled headlines.

Spoiler:

The Saturdays (2008-2012)
Everyones favourite generic girl group gave us classics like 'Up', 'My Heart Takes Over' and that one they did a campaign to get to #1 (which actually worked!). In recent years they've all gone on to do their own thing. Rochelle does This Morning, Mollie does her awful radio show, Frankie does depression docs, Vanessa did IAC and the ginger one is just happy for the experience.

Spoiler:

Flo Rida (2008-2012)
We all owe Mr. Rida a thank you for introducing us all to Kesha. But theres only so many times you can release the same song with a few different lyrics before it gets old.. and it got old.

Spoiler:

Example (2010-2014)
We all remember his sweaty face. He had a couple of club bangers that still get played every Saturday night down at the local slug and lettuce. He did recently release a new song, but for all we know it could've been an old demo from 2010 he found lying around.

Spoiler:

Jordan Sparks (2008-2010)
I think she came from American Idol or something.. she had some hits, the one with Chris Brown etc. I guess she didnt have the staying power.

Spoiler:

Azealia Banks (2011-2014)
Messiness aside, we can all agree she had some BOPS. But no one can really be blamed for the destruction of her career other than herself.

Spoiler:

Christina Perri (2011-2012)
Her short career highlight was singing a song for Twilight. She also had that song about jars.

Spoiler:

Kreayshawn (2011)
Was she ahead of her time? Has 'her time' come and gone? Will she ever get 'her time'??

Spoiler:

The Noisettes (2008-2012)
The band whos career got a kickstart from a car advert. They had a couple of hits back in 2009, and had moderate success in 2012, but have been driven off the map since.

Spoiler:

Jessie J (2010-2014)
Jessie had the potential to be huge.. she had the voice, the edgy look, the catchy songs. For some reason people got tired of her constant messiness. She was the Halsey of the first half of the 10s. After her collab with Nicki and Ariana, her music career disappeared. Her biggest achievement since was winning some singing show..in China.

Spoiler:

Alexandra Burke (2008-2012)
One of the biggest and most memorable winners of the X Factor. Alex had bops like 'Bad Boys', 'Broken Heels' and 'All Night Long'. Her 2012 album and the infamous 'elephant in the room' moment didnt interest the public and she was dropped by her label. She did have another album but did anyone even listen?

Spoiler:

LMFAO (2009-2012)
In what seems like a distant memory, a group called LMFAO actually existed.. AND had a #1.

Spoiler:

Natalia Kills (2011-2014)
The woman who was once called 'Verbalicious' had a few hits under this new name in the early 10s. However after her cringewothy appearance on X Factor NZ, she changed her name to 'Teddy Sinclair'.

Spoiler:

Demi Lovato (2008-2017)
Will she be left in the 2010s? Only time will tell.. Should she be left in the 2010s? Yes. Some people aren't cut out to be in the public eye, and as shes clearly proven time and time again, Demi is one of them.

Spoiler:

Alexandra Stan (2011-2012)
Picture this. Its summer 2011, the lads are watching geordie shore, the girls are watching towie, everyones sending messages on their HTC phones and this song is playing in the background. She was the one hit wonder we never got.

Spoiler:

Rizzle Kicks (2011-2013)
Short lived duo, Rizzle Kicks had a string of catchy songs for a couple of years in the early 10s. They also had that weird music video with James Cordon dancing around.

Spoiler:

Pixie Lott (2009-2012)
We all know why Pixies career went downhill. It was that hideous haircut she had in the 'All About Tonight' video. and the 'Kiss the Stars' video was enough to give September a run for her money.

Spoiler:

Fun. (2012-2013)
One of the most annoying songs of the decade. 'We Are Young' came from this group. For that alone, i'm glad they faded to obscurity. The lead singer also had that **** off dull song with P!nk (whos career was never quite the same after).

Spoiler:

Owl City (2009-2012)
we ALL remember that song. They also had one with Carly Rae Jepson!

Spoiler:

Alexis Jordan (2010-2012)
No one knows where she came from or who she was, she was merely a light breeze passing through the charts back in the early 10s.

Spoiler:

Paloma Faith (2009-2016)
Dont deny it, we've all seen her slowly slipping away, Sigala song or not. For someone who appeared everywhere at the start of the decade, on every panel show her agent could book. Shes seemingly disappeared for the most part.

Spoiler:
