Demi
Miley's hype was very short-lived and it did more harm than good.
Carly, sort of. A lot of the songs on EMOTION are about sex. But she didn't set a 'sexy' image for herself.

My answer is Christina with Stripped/Bionic and Miley with Can't Be Tamed.

neither of these songs are a flop
Gimme More was a massive hit
and Work Bitch was a moderate hit.

Wtf at people mentioning Britney... She sold sex ever since BOMT and it worked like a charm
Clearly Demi. She's just not sexy. Ariana as well. I see this era flopping, I can't even with that album artwork alone
Avril Lavigne flopped too when she decided to stop being sk8er/emo and became Britney Spears with a guitar

Zayn. He might've debuted high but his song faded out real quick and his promo singles are flopping.

lol at britney
BOMT/OOPS were incredibly massive, she sold sex well.
Personally I think demi suffered, and so did kesha to a lesser extent (think die young video)

Taylor, she tries whining all over her stage at the 1989 world tour
not the 1989 era being considered a commercial underperformance
it's literally the 3rd biggest era this decade

Nicole Scherzinger always sells sex (and does a good job), but underperforms:

Not when Butterfly, Rainbow and Emancipation sold in the 9-15 million range with multiple #1s.
+ she made it to MAXIM lists and her latest hit is a #sex jam
