Carlos Santana...1999-2000 clearly overshadows his prior stuff from the late 1960s, through the early 1980s. We could argue his dominance would last through 2004, in collaborations with Michelle Branch, Alex Band, Dido, etc. Chartwise, yeah, but artistically, oh hell no, Santana was far superior in the late 1960's-early 1970's! |

Cheap Trick had a few top 40 hits in 1979-80 (including the classic "I Want You To Want Me"), then came back big in 1988 with the #1 hit "The Flame" and a few others.

RIP Glen Campbell. On the early AT40s, Casey called him Mr. Wichita Lineman. But he would really become better known later on as the Rhinestone Cowboy.

Enya hit #24 on AT40 with "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)" (#25 on Casey's Top 40), then missed the Top 40 during the 90s, then came back and hit #12 in 2001 with "Only Time."

After a couple monster 70s efforts, Boston was nowhere to be found the first 2/3s of the 1980s. Then Amanda gave them their career biggie before disappearing again, this time for good.

Don't forget that they had top Top 40 follow-ups to "Amanda" ("We're Ready" and "Can'tcha Say/Still In Love"). And in 1994, Boston (without Brad Delp) had a minor chart hit with "I Need Your Love" (#51). And around that time, an album rock station here in Indpls was playing a new Boston song; I don't know whether it was this one or another one. I think it had the lyrics "Surrender to me" in the chorus. |

Boston "disappeared" because they spent all that time recording their third album. Fortunately for them their sound still fit with radio in 1986. |

Kylie Minogue... hit with "I Should Be So Lucky" and "The Locomotion" in 1988, then vanished until 2002, when she came storming back with "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and a string of hits.

The band pretty much ended between 1978's "Don't Look Back" LP and 1986's "Third Stage" because 3/5ths of them grew frustrated with leader Tom Scholz and the time he was taking to produce and release the third LP. By 'the time it was finally released 'Boston' consisted of pretty much just Scholz and vocalist Brad Delp. |

How about Mariah Carey? She was obviously huge in the 90s, one of the biggest selling artists of all time and then in 2001 she had an emotional breakdown and Glitter flopped badly. Then “The Emancipation Of Mimi” came out in 2005 and she had one of the biggest comebacks in music.

Roy Orbison doesn't quite meet the parameters of the thread title, but he made a hell of a comeback in '88 after being absent from the top 40 for over two decades. His solo release in '89 was his highest charting album, he had a top 10 single on the pop charts, and the Traveling Wilburys album made it to number three on the albums charts.

"You Got It" along with its album Mystery Girl were produced by Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra, then "Handle with Care" from Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 peaked at #45 on the Billboard Hot 100. |

Amy Grant comes to mind here too - two top 40's in the mid-80's including a #1, then her big run from 1991-97, including five top 10's (going by R&R/CT40) from "Heart In Motion".

Tyler had a Heartache, but Bonnie's Heart was Eclipsed five years later with a much bigger hit.

The Jonas Brothers would be another recent example of this. They had a streak of hits from 2007-2013, then came back stronger than ever with the #1 hit "Sucker" and a big hit streak in 2019.
