For some of these artists, I'm unclear who their target audience is. Some are in their 40s and 50s, so their fanbases have also matured. Many have also taken breaks, haven't had major hits for some time, or haven't been in the limelight a while, resulting in younger generations growing up without them and being unfamiliar with them. They might be of interest to longtime fans, but they struggle with gaining new listeners even though several of them seem to be going for the youth market. In some cases, their sound or image hasn't seemed to mature and become more sophisticated.

How about maybe some of these artists just wanted to put out music to appeal to their fans and not necessarily recapture the heights of their fame? Like Mary J. Blige was never a huge mainstream artist because her music overall did not have mainstream pop appeal except for a few songs. Nelly Furtado has always put out music that spoke to who she is, not to play into the hands of the mainstream; Loose was her only album that truly crossed over in a huge way.

[@kassidycharles1495]

Nelly Furtado was absolutely expecting a modest hit with TikTok tho, behind the scenes, 7 got delayed because of the UMG issue. There was talk about a tour, and that's also been canned cuz she can't find anyone to sponsor it, and UMG won't fund it.

It really goes to show how so many artists who break through are products of their time.
