Yeah he only stars in the biggest movie franchise going right now. Big disappearance.
Someone said Usher? He has multiple songs in rotation now and also has a few features. I think people have just stopped listening to the radio.
Nelly has stared on a sitcom with Kevin Hart for years now.

But nobody talks nor cares about his music anymore.

Damn thats cool. Speak up GAF Memeber! Tell us your story!
GAF ain't exactly the paragon of keeping up with radio hits
It's a shame, really. Oil Change was a bloody good album, despite its detractors. Charlie Pace would have been drowning in awards if it wasn't for that crash.
Omarion still makes songs lol

Jesse will be making that money once Kingdom Hearts and Young Justice roll back around.

In a couple of days, the original Chocolate Rain will be 10 years old.
Damn, time flies by...
Family got in the way.
Think you mean Delta Goodrem. Also she gets shown almost every week (at least in Australia). She still does music, she just released her own perfume, she has a role on House Husbands and is also a judge every year on The Voice Australia.
Songs?
So the news ain't only about him and the issues with his baby momma
Shaggy and Nelly. They were the biggest black artists of the early 2000s globally and then completely disappeared.
Nelly Furtado went from being the Florence Welsh of her times to the Nelly Furtado of our times.
Missy Elliot was everywhere in the early 2000s and went MIA.
I almost said Gorillaz but they made THE comeback of 2017.

Missy Elliot super bowl
Her 2012 album The Truth About Love was also a big hit, singles from which I still hear regularly on the radio ("Just Give Me a Reason" in particular). (See this mentioned a few times, just wanted to emphasize she's a pretty bad example.)

She's had some good stuff recently.
To those saying Shaggy, he had this song two years ago which was decently popular:

Gorillaz never disappeared, they just don't make music that often. Plus Damon Albarn is already a legend for Blur alone anyway.
Missy Elliot was literally at the Super Bowl Half time show two years ago and has songs coming out that are hits

This thread brings back some memories, lol.
For the Asian Americans, what happened to Chuckie Akenz? Dude was shitting out depressing songs left and right.
For the general population.....
- 98 Degrees? They were popular right before the millenium, right?
- Unk and his 2 Step just disappeared.
- Yung Joc also disappeared.
- Bow Wow, er, Shad Moss also stopped making music, correct? Still remember Outta My System during my teen years.
- Put me in with what happened to both Marios? Along with where did Jesse McCartney go?
- Whatever happened to Sean Paul and The East Side Boyz?
- Theory of A Dead Man.... Released an album not too long ago, I think? Still lost their popularity though.
- Snow Patrol with Chasing Cars and then nothing?
- Hollywood Undead and their one song that every teen was playing. Weren't they having disputes with each other or something thus destroying their popularity?
- Oh god.... Simple Plan?
- Last I heard from Akon was a interview from VladTV where Akon talks about being rich from investing in another country or something. The last song I saw him in was in Guetta's rendition of Better Off Alone.

And Cheap Thrills by Sia. Dude is still popular.
I was about to mention MIMS. A lot of rappers got one big hit and then just disappeared.
She's even more of a bombshell today than she was back her more popular years - which is a rarity for ex-Disney stars. Usually the inevitable drug/alcohol abuse takes its toll.
Missy Had a recent hit called WTF

Yeah. She sold out to do booty shakin' "club hitz"; her third album was a MASSIVE departure from her first and second albums.
I could just see that record exec putting the pressure on her:
"Nelly, all these club bangers are selling like hot cakes. You can't keep to this folky pop ballad stuff when the booty shaking is what's selling. So, Nelly, how about we shake that booty and make some real money, huh?"
Edit: Even the Wikipedia article on the album "Loose" (lol) helps to illustrate all of this.

What happened to Blue October? Into The Ocean was an amazing song.
Also she's had a lot of others big songs in recent years that you would have to be living under a rock not to have heard at least one of them. Wikipedia and YouTube exist.
Also Mandy Moore? Really? On one of the biggest shows on TV.
Yung Joc is busy being a hair meme
Simple Plan reached an age where it don't matter what they say
Akon owns diamond mines and powers cities with his electricity fields in Africa or some shit. Last I saw he was pimping another singer on the breakfast club
I'm pretty sure he makes beats, iirc he had one or some on Beyoncés last album

FUCK 98 DEGREES.
Nick Lachey is still a celebrity in Cincinnati because this city fucking sucks and nothing ever actually happens here. I think he has a shitty sports bar in our most popular neighborhood as well.

They were massive in the late 90s /early 2000s, and then they just disappeared. It's interesting how big that futuristic style was. the sunglasses, the latex, the baggy pants and the lens flare. You can really feel how much computer CGI influenced the 90s and early 2000s. those crazy shiny surfaces, and poor lighting.

son became a venture capitalist in silicon valley.
Akon is still eating off of Gaga money. He cashed out when she was peaking supposedly...
Also, he released an album a couple of years ago that sounded like something Justin Timberlake would do.
