[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 5245334, member: 1225"] Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Bros., N'Sync, Britney, Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, New Kids on the Block, Tiffany, Debbie whatshername, Menudo, Madonna . . . you can probably run the line all the way back to the Monkees, if not the Beatles and Elvis, I imagine. Who knows, maybe Sinatra and Crosby -- I'm not that up on '40s singer fan demographics. :) Some of the artists evolve and expand out of that demographic (i.e., Beatles, Madonna, even Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake; Miley Cyrus seems to be trying that now, judging by her latest video), and some go away when their particular generation of tweens & teens grows up (like, say, most of the rest of the boy bands). I think genres other than pop go through the same thing, more-or-less. Avenged Sevenfold was really popular with the kids I knew that "hated" pop, but not hearing much about them now. Or look at hip-hop -- how many artists manage to maintain popularity & sell records over multiple decades? Not many that I can think of. I'm curious to see if Jay-Z, Eminem, Lil Wayne, & so forth can pull it off. Jay-Z's been around 14 years or so, which is a long time, but still seems as popular as ever. Others were around earlier, and haven't had flops per se -- but they haven't put out albums recently (I'm thinking about Will Smith & LL Cool J, for example). If LL had a massive hit album tomorrow, I think they'd probably call it a comeback. ;) [/QUOTE]
