Scandal'Us have struggled to follow up their No. 1 hit Me Myself and I - The 15th highest selling single of 2001.
They have as yet failed to release a third single and a national headline tour, postponed in July when they toured the UK, has yet to be rescheduled through lack of demand.
The act have also followed the lead of original Popstars, Bardot, by departing from the management team which helped them compile the band during the hit TV series.
Seventies rocker and TV jingle writer Les Gock is out, with industry veteran Geoffrey Schukraft, who has handled, Tina Arena, LRB and Real Life In The Past, taking over.
Schukraft said there had been some questionable decisions made for the band in the past. He highlighted the selection of Make Me Crazy as their second single as a mistake. The single stalled in the charts and led to the unlikely situation of the band having no more singles released from their debut album.
Schukraft also said their lip-synching on TV and reliance on backing tapes at live shows was also a mistake.
However he said there was a firm interest from other record companies in Scandal'Us, who left Festival Mushroom Records after playing at the Rumba pop event in November.
"It's a bit early to say anything, but we're currently sorting out their recording future, and recording company future.
"There'll be a big push in the new year and a more defined focus to the group a la past acts."
Schukraft said he believed in the band. "Everyone has given me 101 reasons why I shouldn't work with them, but they're an incredibly talented group of kids. A lot of people are quick to pan them, but you can't deny the talent."
"There's a massive investment in the (Scandal'Us) brand and I think any (negativity) can be turned around. And I think they can work overseas."
Schukraft, who also secured an overseas deal for Melbourne band CrashPalace, said Scandal'Us are totally committed, more determined than ever, and are writing new material.
"Daniela (Scala) in particular has written some great songs," he said.
Scandal'Us fans can see the band on a national tour of mainly regional areas, starting in mid-february.
