All Saints.
And incoming- Muttley, Quiche and Chiffon. They will fail miserably. |

Christina Aguilera has had two in a row.
Ke$ha had a flop with Warrior. All Saints, Spice Girls and Madonna have also had recent flops. (just a note, I'm classing these comebacks as flops because they were no where near as successful as past comebacks) |

Nelly Furtado - The Spirit Indestructable, it was her first English album since 2006, it failed miserably. I really like it though, Believers is one of the best songs of 2012.
Evanescence - Evanescence. Not really a "flop" compared to so many other artists and albums, as it debuted on #1 on Billboard, sold more than half a million etc, but compared to The Open Door, it's somewhat of a "flop", as TOD sold more than two million copies in USA, Evanescence sold a fourth of that. |

Whitney's last album didn't set the charts alight. The album sold a fair few million, but none of the singles were hits at all in the US although Million dollar bill did really well over here. Plus the tour was critically panned and apparently lost quite a bit of money.

Xtina....poor girl, it's just not working out for her. I liked both her albums but I don't think she connects with the public anymore.
Same with Madonna who had a bit of a disaster with MDNA given all the hype around the project. |

Britney Spears' 2011 comeback was a bit of a flop. I Wanna go and Criminal didn't chart very well IIRC and her album Femme Fatale was a flop too. Shame really as it was a good album. It's my second favourite Britney album after Blackout.

Nelly's one has to be one of the biggest, also Anastacia's 2008 comeback was a big big flop for her.

I don't think Christina and Britney are hated, since if they were the songs they featured on wouldn't have been such big hits. But in the UK they don't get the airplay they need for a hit with their solo singles. |

Some of these aren't really 'comebacks' imo.
I consider a comeback to be when an artist decides to come back from either a prolonged absence or when they hope to comeback with success after a major 'flop' era. Going by this, the most recent example for me is Christina Aguilera with 'Lotus' which is a shame because it's actually my favourite album from her. I guess Madonna's 'MDNA' could also count since she was hoping for more success than 'Hard Candy' which didn't quite work out. Again it's a shame because I thought 'MDNA' was a better album than it's predecessor. |

I think most people aren't even aware she released an album last year R Kelly is similar, he has gaps of several years between hits like 'Bump N Grind' 'I Believe I Can Fly' and 'Ignition' and hasn't had a hit for 10 years now...but you can't rule out him having a big hit again with the right song. |

East 17 and Blue - East 17 won't work without Brian as he was the voice of the band.
Blue did all the promo they possibly could and had a hit show behind them and they were still off the charts in a handful of weeks. |

The Tings Tings - Sounds From Noweheresville.
Nelly Furtardo - The Spirit Indestructible Little Boots - Nocturnes The Saturdays - On The Radar Ke$ha - Warrior Sophie Ellis Bexter - Make A Scene Christina Aguleria - Lotus ^These are actual flop albums, Some of the other suggestions are pretty stupid to be honest. Madonna - MDNA, Avril Lavigne - Goodbye Lullaby, Evanescence - Evanescence Whitney Houston - I Look To You Britney Spears - Femme Fatel ^ Whislit these have been mentioned as flop they are not. All have sold over 1,500,000 worldwide (Evanescence have only sold like 1 mill) so have achieved success, just not to their usual standards. |
