When Katy came out in 2008 with "I Kissed a Girl", I was 100% sure she would be a one-hit wonder... and look at her now

Are there artists whose careers lasted longer than you initially thought?

The Weeknd

I never would've expected in a million years for him to be the breakout star of any year but I mean, hey, anything's possible.

Also, the longevity Eminem and P!nk seem to have is incredible, I kinda expected them to fade with the 2000's but I was proven wrong this decade

everyone who releases music still have a career in music industry

Ariana and Meghan tbh

Ellie Goulding...of course she had to sell out to do it.

Rihanna because when she debuted everyone labeled her as the "next Beyonce" and I was sure the comparisons would end her career but she pulled through

Meghan because AATB seemed similar to CMM and I didn't think anything that followed it would be successful but I guess I was wrong

Nicki solely because she's had a few flops but she always manages to make a comeback

Meghan Trainor.

Gaga's, I expected her success to fizzle out after 1 or 2 years

Beyonce! I was hoping for Kelly Rowland to slay solo! She did have a comeback in early 2010s were she slayed more than Beyonce's "4"! In Europe and Australia at least

Rihanna. The first anger I went from hating to loving

Demi. I love her. But I definitely didn't expect her to comeback with the force she did this year.

Ciara. I thought she'd be done after her first album (an Ashanti tea). She's still creating bops tho.

Proven wrong I see



I didn't know P!nk was still that relevant when she released her last albums. Top 10 hits and a Number 1

Kesha, I thought Tik Tok would be her only hit

I was really unsure about Kelly.

She had two hits and a big album, but the other Idols were kind of flopping. If it wasn't for Since U Been Gone, she probably would be so irrelevant right now.

Both Rihanna and Gaga gave one hit wonder teas with their first singles.

Pink. I thought she was done after Try This!

I expected Rihanna to be done by 2008

I really thought Rihanna would be a one hit wonder with Pon De Replay.
