10 Artists the Industry Tried to Push On Us (& Failed)
WRITTEN BY: Aidan Johnson
Ashlee Simpson
A Lip-Synching Scandal Ended the Career of Jessica Simpson’s Younger Sister
Kep1er
Except for One Song, This Girl Group Has Yet to Become Mainstream
Got the Beat
Despite Being a Supergroup, They’ve Never Been as Big as Their Original Projects
Rita Ora
In the early 2010s, Rita Ora became one of Britain’s biggest pop stars, but is barely known in the United States. It’s not for a lack of trying, but Ora is more known for hosting “America’s Next Top Model” and appearing in the “Fifty Shades” series. When she was first signed to Roc Nation by Jay-Z in 2009, she was promoted as the next Rihanna. After years of trying, this never came true. She’s still had a highly successful career, and is a household name in the UK, but that’s not the global market the industry intended.
