there is a lot of talk of people flopping in the charts lately. in reality we are talking about artists that are all currently in the charts! that is fairly mediocre by the true definition of flopping!

so who in your opinion has truly gone down the dumper? who`s the master floppatier? who`s top of the flops or have flopped till their dropped?

i put forward five star. they only had one major hit album. then slowly but surely the hits dried up. no image change, greatest hits album, new recording contact, change of lead vocalist could reverse their fortunes. they keep recording for almost twelve years after their last top 40 hit. now that is a proper flop!

basically any singer who isn't Adele at the moment is considered a flop

I love Prince, but what a sliding scale. He was one of the biggest Stars in the world, and then look what happened. He just went nuts, and not in the good way. Getting rid of his creative teams was the worst mistake he ever made.

George Michael. His recent cover of True Faith by New Order is easily the worst cover I have ever heard. He used to be so good but now puts out such horrendous crap.

I remember being obsessed with the Girls Can't Catch song 'Echo' when it first came out and played it so much but they flopped, dropped off the face of the earth and eventually my ipod!

Thirteen Senses were a band I used to love but they literally went AWOL. I genuinely don't know what the hell happened to them after their one mildly successful single, "Into the Fire".

I'll be surprised if Parade's next single reaches the top 20

Mini Viva still saddens me, to this day. Nerina Pallot (debatably) commercially flops too, which is a shame.
