Does anyone have any songs that have been released recently that are either completely unknown or didn't do as well as they should? Not just album tracks - I mean singles by credible artists that flopped commercially or singles by unknown artists that never took off.

I believe the OP said "credible artists".
But he included Maroon 5 & The Black Eyed Pea's as examples, so it's pretty open I gues...
Oh whatever. Spend some time in the 'credible' indie scene and you'll see how pretentious and lacking in musical ability so many of these artists are.
Oh one of those people "I only listen to cool shit" & look down on anyone not of my taste
I meant credible as well-known.
I'm in to all sorts of music. I actually like 'crap music'. I'm not one of those insufferable hipsters
Maroon 5 used to be better
''Credible as well known'' I'd say after 14 years and countless hits Britney is known :rolleyes:
Anyway for me it has to be Ellie Goulding- Figure 8 fantastic song but it flopped in at #33

This unreleased Girls Aloud tune is pretty good aswell!

This CHVRCHES song should be a massive hit but it might be overlooked:

I agree with you?
I love how sinister it is!
I really liked Crying Blood by VV Brown. That never did anything.
Florence + The Machine- Never Let Me Go flopped at 82 (did hit #3 in australia and went 3x platinum) And Cosmic Love two of their best and yet the public were uninterested
The OP never wrote that Britney Spears isn't well known. The OP has asked for examples of singles by well known artists that flopped commercially or singles by unknown artists that never took off. Britney obviously falls into the former.
Lifehouse - Between the Raindrops
A*M*E- Play the Game Boy
No another poster did and i was correcting them
It sounds like a proper 90s R&B track but modern and with real vocals. Tamar herself is a bit of a hidden gem though, she had a failed album in 2000, and she sang the backing vocals on Lady GaGa's Born This Way. It's only recently that she's broken out and notched up two R&B chart-topping singles in the US.
I like Tamar Braxton's song The One. They play it on Choice FM. The song it samples is great too.
Although, relatively well-known 'Landslide' by Fleetwood Mac never did well commercially
Angels and Airwaves - 'Diary'
Same with Milk both beautiful beautiful songs shame Garabage seem to be ignored these days
the charts are full of rubbish though, i don't expect good stuff to chart anymore which is a shame
