I just heard about one of these recently that happened only a few months
ago...I want to say her name was Amy Allen or something like that. She had
one of her songs placed prominently in a failed TV show last season. It may
have even been the theme song. Anyway, the show flopped and was cancelled
almost immediately, the single was released to radio and did nothing at all
and her album, which was already pressed and ready to go and had promos
serviced to media and everything, was simply dropped in toto.
A quick Google reveals that the singer's name is Aimee Allen, and the show
was Birds of Prey, which I remember seeing hundreds of promos for during
Gilmore Girls, so I probably heard the song at least once but I have no
memory of it.
