The majority of people think this about every artist for their first hit or two. I remember when Post Malone was blowing up and everyone was sure he would be a one hit wonder... Then he had like 3 successful singles on the album when it released... Then it was, "the next album will flop." Now the dude has like 8 songs with a billion or more listens each on Spotify and his success is only limited by how often he feels like releasing music. His top 10 are insane, 12 billion listens for 9 of them and the 10th one being a new release making the list because Spotify throws in one random new release for big artists.

A good rule of thumb in the current age is most of these guys who were smart enough to produce their first hit before signing a deal are likely good enough at marketing and understand the industry well enough to market themselves into stardom. LNX and Post both come from that mold. They were bound for stardom whether a record company signed them or not.

Hell, even Lady Gaga when Just Dance and Pokerface people thought would be her only success not even understanding she had already written hits for others.
