Adele- When We Were Young. How did this only get 1 week in the top 20 after Hello was such a mind-blowing smash? I know it managed to make the year end, but just barely. For Adele up to that point that was unheard of.

I think in Adele's case, this album was extremely front loaded because it was so highly anticipated. Plus, it was initially not available for streaming, so everyone purchased it, myself included. Thus, no reason for people to buy the singles or stream them. I feel like Send My Love somewhat underperformed too, for how catchy it was. Remember, though, I think the album sold some ridiculous-nonexistent-in-2017 10 million copies.

One that comes to mind for me is Demi Lovato's "Made in the USA". She was coming off two hits in a row ("Give Your Heart a Break" and "Heart Attack") and I personally found the song catchy enough. How it only scraped the top 40 on CHR is beyond me. To top that off, her subsequent singles from that era both went top 10 on CHR ("Neon Lights" becoming a hit was a surprise for me considering how generic it is, how pop radio was over the dance-pop trend by that time, and the fact that she was coming off a complete flop with "Made in the USA") which makes this even more confusing for me because I didn't think it was that bad of a single choice to warrant that level of flopping.

For Adele up to that point that was unheard of. Simple, she didn't promote the single, or any of the subsequent singles. Send My Love only hit the top 10 because she made the video for it and was the most radio-friendly thing she made, but she still showed little to no interest in promoting the song. Plus, the album was already out, and like someone pointed out, it wasn't initially available for streaming. A shame too, because this one of the best songs she ever made.

Of the songs here, I think Company, Kiss It Better, In Common, Something in the Way You Move, People Like Us, Water Under The Bridge, and Made in the USA should have definitely been hits.
What surprises me the most though is seeing 2U seriously underperforming compared to songs like "I'm The One" and "Despacito"
Seriously, that song screams summer smash to me, and it's not like the GP isn't here for EDM, The Chainsmokers are a thing. Plus it's much more pop-oriented, and it has Justin Bieber on it. He's been making hit after hit recently, so you'd think that 2U would at least be a top 10 hit with staying power, right? Just like Cold Water and Let Me Love You were late last year. I just don't get why it's flopping...

HEavy - Linkin Park/Kiiara? Although I think it will get a new peak and technically be a hit

Honestly, Cool for the Summer by Demi Lovato flopped quite weirdly.. Seemed like such a ontrend song in 2015, got good critical reception and peaked at #1 on iTunes but hen just dropped very quickly..
Also Body Say kind of flopped, but it was a non-album single, which was just released very out of the blue and was not promoted at all with no live performances ((except for her tour) and now music video.. Could've been one of her biggest singles, since it has 140 million streams on Spotify without any promo, so it really could've been a smash hit.
Also not a definite flop yet, but Fetish by Selena Gomez kind of unexpectedly flopped like CFTS.. Peaked at #1 but now 10 days later already dropped all the way down out of the top 50. For comparison Sorry Not Sorry by Demi, who isn't coming off from a successful era like Revival, is still in the top 15 and it was released 2 days prior to Fetish.

Heavy - Linkin Park/Kiiara? Although I think it will get a new peak and technically be a hit "Heavy" peaked at #13 on CHR, their biggest hit since "Shadow of the Day" reached #9 in 2007.

CFTS was an underperformer not a flop, #11 peak on Hot 100, #3 on Pop radio, successful misic video, and finished at #53 on the 2015 year end Demi flopped more so with Really Don't Care and Neon Lights, both went top 40 but only faired well on radio with top ten peaks on Pop and that's it about those two Also Fetish is too new still to predict it's future

For Adele up to that point that was unheard of. No video, no radio edit, no Grammy performance. This could have smashed, label didn't care about it.

Lifehouse, "Between The Raindrops" - couldn't even go top 20 on Hot AC. The album was a little bizarre but that was one of their best singles ever!
Neon Trees, "Sleeping With A Friend" - didn't really flop but definitely underperformed. Thought it would go top 5 on Pop and Hot AC easily.
Taylor Swift, "Out Of The Woods" - sure it was a 6th single but I think most were shocked it couldn't make the top on Pop or Hot AC
Paramore, "Hard Times" - very recent but I thought this was going to be huge. Didn't really smash anywhere.
Switchfoot, "Stars" - thought this would be huge after "Meant To Live" and "Dare You To Move" were so big. Even though that album was pretty old by then I think they came back too soon
The Calling, "Our Lives" - thought this was a very good comeback song for them. Would've expected more after Alex had that huge hit with Santana
I'll probably think of more!

pretty much everything Tinashe has released since 2 On. I thought this girl would at least be a regular on R&B radio, and she even released a few pop friendly songs, but nothing she's released has charted. I'm no fan of her (I like a few of her songs, especially that Snakehips song with her and Chance The Rapper), but I'm still surprised at her lack of success. I also start to get the feeling that 2 On may have been a hit more because of DJ Mustard than her, which if true, that's kind of messed up.

Yall mind if I throw it back a decade? Cause "Long Way 2 Go" was NOT supposed to flop she was signed by Diddy, that right there was already a red flag. Most acts signed by Diddy usually don't last very long or end up being one-hit wonders (unless you're Biggie or Mary J.). That said, it was kind of surprising that there was a lack of interest in her beyond Me & U especially considering how big that song was.

Sia - Move Your Body. Coming off of a 4 week number 1 and a top 20 I thought this would at least reach the top 50 but it peaked outside the hot 100.

It wasn't really a flop, but "Passionfruit" by Drake did a lot worse on the charts than I originally anticipated.

You'd think they would push it considering it got a video and they were only 3 singles deep into a pretty sucsessful era with multiple smashes left #mess

If I remember correctly the song was kind of monotone and I thought it sounded like she kind of mumbled through some of it. I haven't heard it in awhile but I remember my friend and I always snickered because one of our other friends LOVED it. she thought it was pretty lame too and there wasn't much to it. I have the cd maybe I should revisit it???
