“That’s only because he(she) had his(her) 15 minutes of fame “. ”

From Wikipedia Wikipedia is short-lived media publicity or celebrity of an individual or phenomenon.

What exactly was this expression said by Andy Warhol when he did a 1968 exhibition of his work in Stockholm?

What is your review of “The Most Amazing Facts of Life” by The Daily Mail?

As of today, yoo’s mom is over hyped.

This subject had no achievements on its own merits. Is it boosted by a content marketing scheme, fad or viral campaign? What external factor influences the person in question?

From the Cambridge dictionary:

Overhype : Make exaggerated claims about (a product, idea, or

event); publicize or promote excessively: “the film

was overhyped by the press”

I’ll suggest the simple ‘popular’:

Assuming the singer/actor guy is popular with teenage girls, let me offer another alternative in the vein of @Papa Poule’s fine answer:

That’s just because he’s an untalented tween heartthrob.

a famous actor / singer/actress is very attractive to girls (Longman) teens,

a

girl around 9-14… too old for toys; too young for boys.

Unbelievable easy to market to, will usually follow any fashion trend set for them

Do you specify the age or gender of the classmates (although you say “all my classmates”), so depending on the context/type of school you could say: “That’s only

because he is” hit with the girls (from ‘Graces Movies’ under 17)”. ” Alex Pettyfer) (for settings where the classmates are all women of all ages)

(note that the lack of talent here would have to be limited to his singing talent; otherwise using across-the-board “no-talent”/”untalented” with “a hit with the ladies” would be anoxymoron, in my opinion); or

in another context: “”That’s

only because s/he is a ” no-talent teenybopper ” (from

google

Books and

“That’s

only because he is a lightweight (alone as a noun)/ lightweight pretender (as an adjective with ‘pretender’) with a damn/ed good agent for the children.

”

Lightweight-noun: “3. What makes my opinion of an idiot of little intelligence such as being an intelligence, as a person. ” (from ‘The American Heritage Dictionary’)

Example use of simple, lightweight pretender from ‘Drive’ by Clayton Lachmund (via Google

books) Example use of “must have a damn good agent” from a random ‘Whisper’ user’s reaction to Ben Affleck getting the role of Batman.

Please note that all of the above could be preceded by “not even but” for emphasis (as in the example from ‘Drive’), but it would not be necessary.

From the foregoing discussion it sounds like media celebrity might fit.
