Arrows by Fences ft Macklemore
Around 2013 or so, Fences was an up and coming indie act who had just signed to a major label and released a single with Macklemore, who promoted the hell out of it. This was at the time when Macklemore was super popular and having Macklemore on your song was kind of a big deal, plus the song was very radio friendly and catchy and seemed like it could be a multi format smash. But nope, barely scrapped the top 50 on alternative and didn't do anything anywhere else. I thought it was a lot bigger then it was initially since my local at station had it in heavy rotation, but that's probably just because both artists are local. Still though, almost everyone I knew at the time seemed to know the song.

Machine Gun Kelly ft Hailee Steinfeld - "At My Best"
I'm surprised this flopped considering Bad Things was a pretty big hit and this was a better song imo and featured Hailee who is relatively popular as well, the music video was also fitting too Shame though cause I preferred it by a long shot over Bad Things
Bebe Rexha - "I Got You"
The song was a fast riser on pop radio and had a very strong initial run, storming up to the top 20, the music video also tracked in a lot of views and has almost 200 mil views now. Aside from that she promoted the song a lot and performed it at GMA, Jimmy Fallon, the EMAs, James Corden, etc. It also was following up the success of "In The Name Of Love" and she already kinda known cause of "Me, Myself, & I"

I think another one has to be these 2 songs from Ciara
Ciara ft 50 Cent - "Can't Leave Em Alone" -The 4th and final single off her 2nd album, following 3 successful singles, this one stalled at #40 on the Hot 100. The song even has a fitting music video and was promoted
Ciara ft T-Pain - "Go Girl" - The lead single for 3rd studio album "Fantasy Ride", this stalled at #67 on the Hot 100 which was strange since she saw much success with her first 2 albums, but this for some reason took a downturn even though it featured T-Pain who was also very big at that time. The song also has a fantastic music video

Run Away With Me - Carly Rae Jepsen This is probably one of my favourite pop songs! Justice for Carly!

Not really a flop, more of an underperformance, but Iโm surprised that Loyalty by Kendrick Lamar *only* peaked at 27ish. Keep in mind that this was coming off a smash #1 single and Kendrick had a ton of momentum, so Loyalty looked to be a pretty big smash at least on paper, especially since it features Rihanna. Meanwhile, not only did the next single (Love) peak higher then it, three songs from the Black Panther soundtrack including one that wasnโt even technically a single (Kingโs Dead) outpeaked it too.

Amerie - Touch
In a 2005 pop/crunk/R&B environment, this Sean Garrett co-penned and Lil' Jon produced bop (one of his best tbh) deserved to at least reach top 50...let alone enter the Billboard Hot 100. Especially given the success of its parent album's first single "1 Thing".
Plus, in the video she served everything: face, esthetics, hot choreo, catchy moves, genius editing, awesome night-tropical set, sexy and smooth color palette...
I lived!!

Call Out My Name. Not that it necessarily flopped, but due to its fall

"Growing Up" generated initial buzz and airplay and could have been a big hit if pushed for longer (Ed Sheeran didn't hurt, either.) But it was quickly pushed aside for "Downtown", as someone evidently figured that trying to retread "Thrift Shop" and "White Walls" was an easier ticket to success. But there were no more major hits from that M&RL era, even when "Growing Up" got a modest second burst of airplay.

I knew it is only an album cut from the album, but it had potential to be a single.

But there were no more major hits from that M&RL era, even when "Growing Up" got a modest second burst of airplay. That era was one of the most poorly managed ones Iโve seen in a long time โ I mean if Iโm not mistaken, Downtown was literally the ONLY song sent to radio period. Downtown also really wasnโt he bestfiest single choice imo and I think Growing Up couldโve had potential to do well and maybe even improve the publicโs opinion of Macklemore somewhat.

I can think of a lot of them:
Lorde - Green Light The Script - Rain Katy Perry - Rise Lady Gaga - Perfect Illusion Harry Styles - Sign Of The Times Taylor Swift - Look What You Made Me Do (I know this peaked at #1, but it collapsed hard on the radio) The Chainsmokers - Honest Linkin Park featuring Kiiara - Heavy Hailee Steinfeld & Alesso featuring Florida-Georgia Line & Watt - Let Me Go (is this considered a flop?) Meghan Trainor - No Excuses Hailee Steinfeld & BloodPop-Capital Letters Maroon 5 - Cold (Is this considered a flop?) Camila Cabello - Crying In The Club Ellie Goulding - Still Falling For You WALK THE MOON - Different Colors Ellie Goulding - Something In The Way You Move Tom Walker - Leave A Light On Kelly Clarkson - Love So Soft John Legend - Love Me Now Kelly Clarkson - I Don't Think About You Selena Gomez & Marshmello - Wolves (is this considered a flop?) WALK THE MOON - One Foot Meghan Trainor - No Fifth Harmony featuring Gucci Mane - Down Calvin Harris featuring Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, & Big Sean - Feels Lady Gaga - The Cure Charlie Puth featuring Kehlani - Done For Me Marshello & Khalid - Silence

Green Light doing so badly outside of Oceania as it did was surprising I think.

End Game is probably the most unexpected flop in a while.
