These guys are still recording with a huge following. Even if they haven’t peaked again with Feel Good Inc, they still seem ongoing.

Kesha fading out bothers me til this day. She didn’t deserve it. Just bad timing, but what a shitty move by radio, not really supporting her after that one song.

No, I meant that she still had a massive hit with Timber after Die Young.

Flo Rida had 11 Hot 100 top 10 hits as a lead artist (most were also pop radio hits) from 2008 to 2016. Eight years is "came and went by very fast"?

Milli Vanilli and Fine Young Cannibals in 1989 fit this, they were very popular those years, and nothing else really before and after.

After the success of "Feels So Good", the label insisted on filling her one and only album with R&B and Pop ballads and the followup single "Just Because I Love You"" which was a midtempo didn't do well and neither did the album and she was dropped. A Dance remix resembling "Feels So Good" was released too. She released a few one-offs here and there since then that even I didn't know existed. Angelina continued to have localized success in the New York, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and California markets where the New School Freestyle genre was still popular, but on a mainstream level she didn't get much attention. She released 3 studio albums overall. She still performs occasionally but she is a teacher now. They did release an album. The followup single "Feel The Music" was less successful. The guy behind the project George Acosta continues to to produce and DJ. Sadly, the singer Nadine Renee who sang on "Set U Free" passed away in 2004. He had a couple of local hits after "A Mover La Colita" including "Esa Nena Linda." He continued to release music after that until 2001.

To add on to what was being said regarding the Dance/Electronic artists coming and going really fast.
With a lot of Dance/Electronic artists, we have seen it happen many, many times where a new artist comes along, has a big hit and then the 2nd single, which often is a re-tread of the 1st single ends up underperforming or totally flops.
A lot of these artists are on smaller labels where the promotional and marketing budget is much less, or they have less reach overall.
Sometimes that one hit was a total fluke.
It also happens where the audience only really goes for that one song for a little while it's trendy or viral and completely abandons it once they tire of it and even later have contempt for it so perhaps they might just be here for streaming it a little and then that's it. And when sales were much better, some might actually buy it, but more often than not, they didn't buy it. Same with radio airplay. This topic came up in the CHR/Pop section some years ago when the lowest and worst callout scores in history list was shared and a number of major and even smaller Dance hits were on that list.
And this also leads to a situation where some bigger/major labels that did invest initially into that artist will then pull back or stop their support and promotion altogether because if they aren't getting a good return on that investment. And then they are less likely to invest in the future.
After the Disco Demolition and the backlash against Disco, the U.S. still views Dance/Electronic music from that lens and the genre isn't taken seriously that much and that doesn't help with its attempts to break through on the mainstream level again.
Some of the artists within the Dance/Electronic genre have been studio groups with a producer presenting a vocalist and other times they are truly a faceless group and then they have someone miming the vocals live (e.g. Black Box, Corona, Cappella, etc.) and then that has also not helped with the genre being taken seriously.
