Celine owned the airwaves in the 90s. But when the calendar turned to 00, it was like a New Day where Dion was no longer allowed on radio.

Bryan Adams; how many hits did this guy have in the 80s/90s? But like Celine, once the new century started, radio wouldn't touch an artist they had played to death just a few years prior.

Debbie Gibson had approximately 9 or 10 top 40 hits, including 6 top ten records, 2 of them hitting #1. "Electric Youth" was thought to be top 10 bound, but instead spent 3 weeks at #11, then jolted down (as Shadoe said) to #23, and the following week it was outta here. Debbie would guest host AT40 shortly afterwards, but none of her songs would appear on AT40 that week. Sadly, Debbie would only have 2 more top 40 hits after that "close but no cigar" event with "Electric Youth", and after 1991, sweet Debbie was gone from AT40 for good.

Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose & Wilson Phillips both had monster debut albums, far less successful follow-ups and then seemingly fell off the face of the earth.

Pink Floyd is a really good example. They had a lot of classic rock hits on the radio, but only two top 40 hits - "Money" and "Another Brick In The Wall". After the latter hit #1, they were never heard on the top 40 again. . Pink Floyd may not have a had another top 40 hit ,but they didn't disappear.They had hits on the rock charts with Comfortably Numb,Run Like Hell,Learning To Fly,On The Turning Away and Take It Back. The Final Cut,A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell albums were all top 10

Hall and Oates had three phases; steady in the 70s, massive 80-85, and overlooked 88-90. However because they vanished so quickly after that how many people know that they had more 80s top 40s than Michael? More than Madonna? More than Whitney? Daryl is coming back tv wise. He has his show From Daryl's House in syndication. Plus he's going to have a home improvement show on the DIY network.

I don't think Hall & Oates have disappeared but perhaps my memories of their early 80's run are strong enough to make up the difference.

A couple of these, like Rick Springfield and Hall & Oates, don't quite fit, IMO - you can see evidence of declines on both their parts before they "disappeared" from the Top 40. (It's also worth noting that H&O did have a follow-up to 1990's "So Close" that stopped just one notch short on Billboard, but hit #34 on R&R.)

Here is another artist that was very hot for 3 years (1980 - 1983) - Christopher Cross. Seven top 20 hits which include four top 10 hits and two #1 songs. Then in 1984 Christopher released a song (A Chance For Heaven) that was used as the Swimming Theme for the Los Angeles Olympics. That was a song I always liked and wished it had reached the Top 40. Here is the song on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNJNHzsZTikThen his final release was 'Charm the Snake' in 1985. It peaked at #68. That was it for Chris.

That was a great song, IMHO. Kind of a throwback to the sound H&O had on their first three Atlantic LPs. Only one song from that period ever became a hit, and that was 2 1/2 years after it's first time around as a single: "She's Gone".

Fine Young Cannibals come to mind here. Three hits, including 2 #1's, all in 1989... and then vanished.

While Chris Cross hasn't hit the charts. He has continued to release albums. Walking In Avalon is a good one.

Three Dog Night had a ton of hits 1969-1975 then never reached the Hot 100 again.

Jim Stafford; six very quick top 40s in 74/75 and then gone. Spiders & Snakes is the only one that still gets marginal airplay. Rick Springfield; had a early top 40 then marginal hits throughout the 70s. Exploded 1981-1985, then disappeared with the exception of one 1988 forgotten comeback. Today radio acts like Jessie's Girl qualifies him as "one hit wonder". Not sure that anyone could brand Rick Springfield as a one-hit wonder...what did he end up with, a dozen top 40 hits? Anyone who tries to say he's a one-hit wonder is seriously smoking something.
