Gloria Gaynor fits the bill. She had a top ten hit with Never Can Say Goodbye in 1974, which peaked at number 9, but of her six subsequent singles only four charted, of which the highest peaking reached 'only' number 60, and the others failed to make it past number 75.
Her next 12 singles all failed to chart, but then in 1978 she had the now iconic I Will Survive, which peaked at number one and became one of the most defining songs of the 70s.

Do Neon Trees count? Is the interval between Animal and Everybody Talks charting short enough for them to qualify?

Is the interval between Animal and Everybody Talks charting short enough for them to qualify? they absolutely count imo in a similar vein, foster the people *almost* qualify for this, with pumped up kicks being a massive 2010 hit (and along with neon trees, arguably paving the way for indie pop to cross over), then nothing until sit next to me peaked at 42 in 2018

She does absolutely count if Jar of Hearts didn't exist and her hits were A Thousand Years and Human though. I'm pretty sure Owl City counts here too.

Sorry to hijack but I’m really curious — Gloria Gaynor had a record contract and was able to release *12 songs* that didn’t chart and still had a record contract to release I Will Survive at that point?

Would Mario fall under this category? He had Just a Friend 2002 in 2002 and then Let Me Love You became a hit in 2005. Yes and those were some bangers.

I feel like Jeremih is the best example of this, between "Birthday Sex" smashing and then he disappeared for a while, then "Down on Me" randomly smashed after years of none of his songs doing anything, then the same happening years later with "Don't Tell 'Em." Well to be fair that was only less than two years later, and he had an Urban hit during following "Birthday Sex" with "Imma Star" I remember that song. It was big on urban and rhythmic from what I remember because it was heavily played on Power 106 in the summer of 2009.
