yes, big huge flop!


that`s right. no top 40 single and the album sinks without a trace! that is a proper flop!

Certainly in the UK, Duffy's 2nd album would have to rank as one of the biggest flops ever, compared to the all-conquering debut?

Whoever decided to release that abomination as the lead single should never work in the music industry ever again.

i think it was a combination of the wrong time of year and certainly substandard material. i quite like `well well well` i found it quite catchy.

it is possible she could resurface and have success again. apparently she is taking an `extended break`/

Flopping is soo in...

i disagree with the fact mentioned earlier that anyone who is'nt adele is flopping jessie j katy perry and rihanna are all doing brilliant but adele's success is amazing

i like diana vickers she has disappered, also joe and shayne from x factor who have been dropped, totally agree with gcc i really liked them and they disappered but don't think parade will be around in a year (sorry to any parade fans), nicki minaj majorly in here except from moment for life and her album just reached top 40 but she's huge in america

Geri Halliwell1s desire should`ve hit 9 or 10 and her album Passion should`ve gone top 10. And Melanie c`s latest two albums should have gone top 10 too!
Sophie Ellis Bextors Im Not Giving Up On Love i wont even type what it got over here!
It deserved much much better.

What would you guys call a flop? Im amazed Britney, Gaga and others are branded flop!
OMG Did there singles not chart and not hit top 20!

quite right. britney, gaga and beyonce should not be included in this thread! they all have singles in the charts both sides of the atlantic.

this thead is for appreciation of an act that has really set flopping standards! geri is a good example. in 2005 she announced her first solo tour.

"The Live 05 will see the ultimate show girl take to the road in the UK & Ireland with her spectacular new show.

Its the tour the fans have been waiting and demanding for many years, and Geri has decided now is the right time to take to the road.

This unique show will see Geri perform current hits, nostalgic tracks, and just a few surprises!

The tour will give Geris fans a chance to see this undeniably talented singer live on stage for the first time as a solo artist, and enjoy the dynamic stage presence she brings to every performance. Its a show that the girls on the street (and the boys on the dance floor) wont want to miss!"

the tour didn't sell enough tickets on any of the dates, so she cancelled the whole tour! now that is how you flop!

Geri's whole Passion era was a flop ...apart from Ride It

I love what you put

I`ll be here all night! Geri was poorly managed and the guys on denden have good views on desire and passion. Geri`s got better managment now and i hope she promotes lots and her new album will do okay i think. Top 10 pray!

i think geri will be back. i hope she is more successful next time around! i did buy a ticket for that tour. i was a bit disappointed!

I think Geri knows what shes doing and i want her drive back! Like with spice girls true hollywood story it was mostly about geri and with her early carrer so i think she`ll be back!
I cant wait

back to the topic. who is your favourite flop?

I was being ironic.

After having two massive selling albums (No Angel which has sold just over 3m copies and Life For Rent which has sold just under 3m) Dido took an extended break from the music industry but returned in 2008 with Safe Trip Home which sold less than 200,000 copies in 2008. The first single from the album bombed out at number 54 and that was it for the whole project, at least in the UK. She's got a new album coming out sometime this year but she seems to have been totally forgotten about so I'd imagine it may be another flop unless she can release a killer lead single.

well done robbie! true flop album return!

'I thought I saw a pussy cat. I did! I did!'... That is all that song reminded me of. She took far too long to release new music.

Little Boots was another one who flopped, which was a shame as her first album was really good. I think Remedy was the only real hit she had. What's happened to her?

yes, well each to their own and all that! however duffy`s endlessly was a pretty sizeable flop.

it wasn't a good year for welsh singers, wasn't bursting with pride that's for sure! charlotte church also got her induction into the flop hall of fame!
