Everybody loves a good comeback story. You know how it goes: An artist, after having a few middling albums or movies, turns around to do something defining their entire career thus far.
In a sense, 2015 became a year of comebacks – some successful and others not as much. We saw Hilary Duff and Madonna fail to get much attention with their latest releases, while Justin Bieber, following a strong EDM collaboration, returned after a three-year absence with Purpose.
However, comebacks aren’t exclusive to pop music. Film, too, saw some hopeful projects burn or soar. Jupiter Ascending proved the Wachowski siblings to be a one-hit wonder, and the latest Terminator movie, even with Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising his role, failed to live up to its predecessors. Yet, at the same time, the year breathed new life into the Jurassic Park and Star Wars franchises.
So, to sum up the year, we list the top 10 comebacks of 2015.
