Discussion: Most iconic decline/flop?

Jberg

Who had the most iconic decline/flop of all time?

Gaga obviously. From selling a million first week to barely selling a million, period. That's a decline you can't blame on the industry.

Gaga's is not iconic in any way, lol, people just don't care. It's Bionic.

Brinny Baby

Mariah w/ Glitter

And she also had the most iconic incline/comeback with TEOM

Britney Jean

Gaga's was for this generation, but definitely not of all time.

Sinead O'Connor

Gaga the queen of flopping

iHype.

Glitter.

From 3,000,000 in US to 600,000 in 1999-2001.
A mental breakdown put her in hospital.
A mental breakdown on TRL.
Movie to go along w/ Soundtrack; budget over $20 million for movie -- movie made less than $5 million.
$100 million 5 album contract w/ Virgin; after Glitter flopping she is pushed out the contract after 1 album for a $55 million payout.
Lead Single discounted to 49cents after not reaching Top 60, despite all her previous 8 Lead Singles reaching #1; peaked at #2 even w/ discount.
Soundtrack released on same day as 9/11.
Debuted and peaked at #7.

Virgin also had to lay off 3,000 workers and end many of their artists' eras (Janet's 'All For You' an example) early due to the severe money loss.

Such a QUEEN. + the iconic breakdown on E!.

Gaga obviously. From BTW going down to Artpop. The album is not even platinum yet after a year! I guess people got tired of her.

Pretty. Odd.

A little off topic, but I've read of Virgin Records US decline and that "Pompeii" by Bastille was their first hit in years
