Ah, 2012 is drawing to an end and while it's been a good year for some, it's been a bad year for others (Tulisa, we're looking at you). It's getting harder and harder to get an album to chart, with the rise of illegal downloads and all that, but that still doesn't mean it can't be done - although some artists don't quite seem to have figured out how.

And it's not just albums that can flop - gigs can have poor ticket sales, TV shows can have poor viewing figures, there's really no end to the disasters. And let's face it, sometimes things just aren't very good, and artists never seem to be able to tell. 

There have been some ill-advised comebacks this year, from bands that should maybe have stayed gone, and record labels haven't hesitated to drop singers with no chart success. So, from X Factor alumni to legends who should really know better, we've collected the biggest and worst flops right here, for you to take a look at.

Check them all out now...
