Default Group lead singers who fail as solo artists?
Which singers of successful groups just will never be big as a solo artist?

Mick Jagger - biggest rock group ever but his few attempts at solo stuff have failed.

Skin - very strong singer from Skunk anansie. But solo career flopped.

Nadine Coyle - had the best voice but nobody was interested in Tesco.

who else?

Debbie Harry flopped as a solo artist, so did Tony Hadley.

Lee Ryan.

Brandon Flowers didn't really flop but he didn't do half as good as I was expecting

The two sugababes that left and tried I don't think keisha's released anything yet, but she'll probably flop when she does

Fightstar was Charlie's band - very underrated

But his solo project's not that good

Mutya had two top-5 singles, she didn't fail

I thought Kele Okereke's album was piss-poor (lead dude from Bloc Party). Brandon Flowers' was average. Gwen Stefani didn't fail but her music was mostly terrible (with the exception of, like, 5 songs). Patrick Stump is failing.

Other than Band aid,I don't think Bob Geldof lit the charts alight that much solo either.

Groove Armada did well it was originally for Estelle, but her voice didn't work with it or something. And everyone thought it was about Amelle replacing her in the Sugababes with Mutya as the subject

His first album was a huge success. He also had 2 number ones from it.

OK he couldn't sustain it but he has had decent solo success.
