Who are some Early-Mid 2010s artists you can think of which are no longer relevant?
Here are a couple of examples I can think of:
* Sam Smith - I just get the sense that he is no longer in the peak of his career. I know his recent collaboration with Calvin Harris has achieved Top-10 success in many parts of the world, but I think "Too Good At Goodbyes" will likely remain his last mega-hit.
* Meghan Trainor - The singles off her 2016 album, Treat Myself, failed to replicate the success of her earlier hits. "No Excuses" was the only single off the album which managed to chart and it's highest worldwide peak was a lousy #46 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Way too early to judge for Sam Smith. His second album did actually pretty well and it was only last year. Imagine Dragons didn't break anything with their second album in comparison and back then I thought for sure they were just a "one album wonder" phenomenon. Yet they came back in a massive way last year too.
One artist that directly comes to mind is Iggy Azalea. She was inescapable back in 2014 when she made two huge hits and a collab with Ariana Grande. Then her persona kind of ruined her up and she recieved a massive backlash by the public. She vanished from the charts altogether soon enough despite releasing multiple singles.

I guess it is still a bit too early to make a judgement call on Sam Smith, however I still believe his relevancy will decline in the not too distant future, if it hasn't already. I just can't see him sustaining a long-term career in the mainstream. IMO, his popularity will peter out once the fads/trends of the Early 2020s firmly establish themselves. I agree in regards to Iggy Azalea. Funnily enough, she even received a massive backlash here in Australia. She has pretty much been out of the spotlight since 2015.

What ever happened to Redfoo? Last time I heard about him was when he was a judge on X Factor Aus. Also, Carly Rae Jepsen hasn't had much success for the past few year or so... Sam Smith - I just get the sense that he is no longer in the peak of his career. Sam Smith is still very popular! I may not like him, but I know many who still listen to his old and new music!

Katy Perry. Honestly, she was truly a defining artist of the first half of the 2010s. In fact, she could even be considered among the biggest stars of all time with the amount of #1 hits she had off her "Teenage Dream" album and continued success with "Prism". From 2015-present she's only had that one album last year which was a flop compared to her earlier work, not only that but how she went crazy all of a sudden is really weird. Safe to say shes no longer very relevant.

I think Redfoo only remained relevant because of his role on The X Factor. If he hadn't of been a judge on the show, he likely would have fallen out of favour around the same time that LMFAO did. It is surprising though that you never hear anything about him now. You'd think that someone would have interviewed him or offer him a role on another reality-TV show. Yeah, that's true.

What? He's still insanely popular and constantly talked about despite not even putting out material since 2016. His featuring on DJ Khaled's "No Brainer" was a Billboard top 5 hit a few weeks back. ... If you said this in 2017 I would have give it a pass. But "Youngblood" is single out one of the biggest hits of 2018 and hasn't even peaked yet.

He may have been featured a ton of songs, but I have a feeling this year could be the last. I mean he's been popular all decade anyway and he just got married. Wasnt this group part of the neo-teen pop trend a few years ago?

Sometime in 2017, those girls evolved to the whole Tumblr neo-hipster aesthetic.

Iggy Azalea also has those awful tattoos.

Carly Rae Jepsen was unavoidable in 2012. Even my DAD liked "Call Me Maybe". Now nobody really hears about her anymore.

I'd say that Sia is still relevant, even though she isn't as popular as she was in the Mid 2010s. She actually had a moderately successful hit with David Guetta a few months ago titled "Flames" and it peaked within the Top-20 in the UK and Australia.

She sadly can be counted as a one-hit wonder since nothing except CMM really broke the mold in her discography. "I Really Like You" almost did it in 2015 but it fizzled out quite quickly (but hey it made a slight buzz at least). Sad, cuz I think she's a great legitimate pop artist, especially on her second album, but in most people's minds she's literally stigmatized as a novelty act

Her last album was really generic.
