Post subject: Who was once a big star and is now forgotten?
I saw this question in some forum and the accepted answer was Jim Croce. Which is quite ridiculous, I think. He is on rank 1134 here at BEA. Which is not bad.
So I immediately thought of David Essex who is ranked at 15,645 with his best record appearing in only 7 charts. What a shame. Then I looked up David Cassidy.
Wow. This guy is not loved anymore it seems. He is not even ranked. Just one lousy album you could find here. (I just added a second, a Greatest Hits album of his.)
Cassidy was huge once. More successful for some time than Elvis or Elton John says Wikipedia. Maybe he was just a girl’s singer and this site is dominated by men? _________________ When the stewardess is near do not show any fear.
To me, there are too many people to name. The first person though who came to my mind is LeAnn Rimes. During her first few years on the radio, she was all over the place. Her last big song was in 2006 named "Something's Gotta Give". Three years later is when her private life became front page news. Two years later is when she got married to the man who shared that spotlight with her. Their ten year anniversary will be in April of next year.
God bless you and LeAnn and her family always!!!

Y'all remember when Pwr Bttm were gonna be the saviors of queercore? Like they disappeared for good reasons but still the amount of hype they had vanished overnight. Granted the venn diagram of their fan base vs people that would take allegations like that seriously is a flat circle.
This is the first time I've ever wanted to kill a music video for being worthless.

Reminds me of a Chris Fleming bit. Yeah, it's a bit cringeworthy that this isn't tongue-in-cheek, but you could say that about numerous 80s videos that were successful, not career-derailing. I'd say the reason the video went over so exceptionally poorly wasn't the silliness, but the lack of conformity with gender/sexuality norms. _________________ Join us in the canon game / Add me on RYM
