The 10th Year Bump for Established Artists

I was thinking about Rihanna and where her career is at now. Some say she's over, others say she's just hit a bump. While I don't feel strongly either way, I have noticed that around the tenth year seems to be a significant time in established artists careers. The 10th year seems to be a time when these established artists hit bumps in the road, just like Rihanna is now in her 10th year. Not all established artists go through this but i've noticed a handful have. Some have recovered, while others haven't. Looking all these artists up, its actually quite freaky to see this pattern. Careers really seem to only last about 10 years. Unless one is lucky. Thoughts?

Recovered

Madonna ('92-'93)

Mariah Carey ('00-'01)

 

Did Not Recover

George Michael ('97)

Celine Dion  ('00-'02)

TLC ('02)

Lionel Richie ('92)

Donna Summer ('84)

Kenny Rogers ('86)

Bryan Adams ('93)

Boyz II Men ('00)

R. Kelly ('04)

Christina Aguilera ('10)

P. Diddy ('08)

Lil Wayne ('14)

 

...And prob more. Some on this list could still recover.

Christina did not recover her music career but it is not like she faded into obscurity, she is still relevant, imo

Some of those people don't need to recover. They're legends! Lionel, Donna, Celine

Im sure Rihanna will recover. She appeals to multiple age groups at this point plus she's hot so all she needs is good PR

i agree, and i think others in the did not recover list are relevant pop culture wise as well. But as far as commercial music success...lol

Yeah, Celine hasn't released music but she is swimming in 100 dollar bill pool thanks to her Vegas show, lol

Excuse me no. Celine Dion has a succesful residency in Vegas, that overshadows Britney's.

go look at her chart history sis, that's what I'm going off of. The Rolling Stones make tons of money with their tours but that doesn't mean their making any year end top artist lists.
