Thinking back, you're not wrong.

What? His next album after that one was the platinum album The Trinity, which had "Temperature," "Give it up to Me," and "We be Burnin."
In addition to the songs LFMartins86 posted, he was also featured on Sak Noel & Salvi's "Trumpets" last year, which didn't chart in the US but was huge around the rest of the world. It was massive in the Philippines while I was there last Summer; I heard it a ton and the dance clubs loved it.

OutKast had a great run of albums from 94 - 06, so hardly a "2000 pop" group. They also were on hiatus up until a year or two ago when they performed at Coachella. Each member had a short solo run and Andre 3000 has tried to get an acting career going. I might be wrong but I also believe Big Boi is a producer.
Depending on who you ask, these guys aren't in the "no one talks about them" because they were never talked about in the first place. Christ, they were booed HARD for winning an award in 95 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwLG7aSYM3w
He was also on a remix of Luv by Tory Lanez last year which was a huge pop hit on hip hop & pop stations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs7JJmMaQOE
Some people in here need to turn on the damn radio every now and then, or explore more.

Ashlee Simpson.
She never recovered from that lip sync incident, which is still hilarious to watch.

My daughter likes the XM channel The Blend which is a lot of pop hits, so I've definitely heard a lot of these songs from artists that people are acting like fell off the face of the planet. I started laughing when I read P!nk's name in this thread because I must have heard "Just Like Fire" several hundred times last year (and am still hearing it on the radio now).
Sisco was mentioned several times and I am pretty sure he did fall off the face of the planet, but I actually heard him being talked about on the morning show I listen to that talks about all kinds of music-related things (it's on XM's Volume, which is nothing but people talking about music all day). They were discussing/mocking the fact that he just unveiled his own parody song "Lebron Song," a redone version of the "Thong Song" where the lyrics are all about how Lebron James should be the next NBA MVP. The chorus is literally "Lebron-bron-bron-bron-bron" in place of the word "Thong" and the video features things like Mount Rushmore featuring Lebrons face over all four presidents. Not huge or anything but he did just appear as a blip on the radar I guess.
Thankfully. I mean, I liked most of the songs on Whoa Nelly a lot but her working with Timbaland produced some amazing club songs. The second, third, and fourth singles from that one were fantastic ("Promiscuous," "Maneater," which I had completely forgotten about but now want to listen to, and "Say it Right"). Around that time was Timbaland's "Give it to Me" with her and Timberlake on it which fits in pretty well with her songs from that era. I think getting with Timbaland was a fantastic move for her. She may not have had a ton of success after that but I can't imagine she would be doing any better right now had she stuck with the sound from the first two albums. And Loose sold as many copies as her first two combined.

This is the perfect example and story of an artist who fell of the face of the earth and is no longer discussed.
I checked out M2M on Spotify a few days ago ! I still have their first album... that was a lot of purple. But I remember them mostly for the Pokémon version of their first clip : https://youtu.be/BBJv1YgxnLo
It's actually hilarious lol

Gotta Get Thru This was a legit jam, then he just sorta vanished.

LOL, sometimes I think it's the other way around. I knew a guy in my dorms freshman year who listened to Everywhere on an almost daily basis, and no one got sick of it.
I'm going to out myself as a former big papa roach fan. I was in High School when Infest came out and I thought it was great. It wasn't, but I thought it was. They completely transitioned their sound on the next record (which was totally fine), but honestly kept changing their sound again and again until it became something I felt was lame.
Basically, for me, they transitioned from making music that would be playing in the background of DBZ montage videos (which teenage me was totally into) to being a pretty lame modern take on Motley Crue-esque "rock".

You guys are bad at this. Jojo released a great new album this year.
So did Michelle Branch this year.
Also Pink is regularly on the radio with new hits.
Remember that flash video "the ultimate shodown of ultimate destiny"? The guy who starts beating up Shaq.

Looking at wikipedia it looks like at their height one of the members left so they rebranded to S Club (without the 7 lol). Then another member ended up having a back condition that left her unable to do live performances. They disbanded in 2003. Some of the members tried to keep going but since most of us have likely never heard of the other S Club variants listed on Wikipedia it didnt work.
edit:
I used to have that video saved somewhere.

I remember her being in that shitty Time Machine movie, an issue or two of Maxim, then just gone.
Damn. That's fucked up. Trapped in a 7 album contract at 12. The laws regarding this shit especially after Ke$ha need to be revised.

Some of these names don't belong in the thread. Pink and Sean Paul can still be heard every day on the radio. Mandy Moore is still popular but she's moved out of music and into acting.

Pink is still popular, a few years ago she had that duet with the fun guy and it was huge.

Some of the names coming up in this thread say more about the people posting them than the artists who they're naming. A lot of you are more out of touch than I am and I'm 38 and don't care about pop music that much.
John Mayer? Shakira? Mandy Moore? If you aren't aware of them lately, you're living a pretty sheltered life.

Oxide and Neutrino. Hopefully they remain forgotten.
Holly Valance and Katie Melua.
Aww. The last I heard of her was her being critical of a relative standing for the BNP.

She had a massive crossover pop success with Ariana Grande and Nikki Minaj less than two years ago. It's called Bang Bang, you couldn't avoid it if you listened to the radio.
