Tommy_0212 Posted June 8, 2014 #1 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 How come most artists these days top the billboard 200 with sales of like 70,000 but when Britney lands at number 4 with sales of 107,000 she's considered a flop? It's so annoying... If she had released the album a couple of weeks later... When people were no longer buying one direction etc she would have made it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 8, 2014 #2 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 T H I S. It charted horribly only because of the release date. For instance, it sold 11,000K in the UK in its first week and it charted at #34. Rihanna, with one of her albums, sold 9K in the first week at debuted at #1. Moo sold about 8K with Elusive Porkcheuse and debuted at #14. If it wasn't xmas, she would have charted much, much higher, if not at #1/2 in America. Didn't last week's #1 only sell 80K? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted June 8, 2014 #6 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Yes!! And didn't iggy azalea just top the chart with 55k? she debuted at #3 with 55K.. Britney was one spot lower with twice as much. Xmas was a terrible time to release a new album but I guess it was a requirement of her Vegas contract or something. They wanted to buzz her residency.

tarotx Posted June 8, 2014 #7 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 She should have pushed the album back not only to ensure a good release but to fix the production errors. I think Britney felt a bit guilty for not having a new world tour so she wanted to make sure the fans had an album. Then everything was rushed at the end. RCA should have just released it as an EP. I love the album even with the bad timing and production errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But circus slaaaaayed when it was released at Xmas- I thought the reason FF didn't sell very well was because it had a March release... Her team probs though Xmas was for the best tbh with Xmas presents and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
