Tommy_0212 Posted June 8, 2014 #1 Report 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
David Posted June 8, 2014 #2 Report 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
lovemesomebritney Posted June 8, 2014 #3 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Yes, it came out in the wrong week
Archie Posted June 8, 2014 #4 Report Posted June 8, 2014 What Britney Jean really needed was a performance on a tv show and BAM!

And didn't iggy azalea just top the chart with 55k?
David Posted June 8, 2014 #6 Report 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 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.
HeavenOnEarth Posted June 8, 2014 #10 Report Posted June 8, 2014 What Britney Jean really needed was a performance on a tv show and BAM! It wouldn't hurt if she did a WB performance, like the Vegas one
toxicney Posted June 8, 2014 #12 Report Posted June 8, 2014 i never thought of it this way although midnight memories - the sinlge - did flop....
I've Just Begun Posted June 8, 2014 #13 Report Posted June 8, 2014 That #1 spot should have been hers
RadiantCreations Posted June 8, 2014 #14 Report Posted June 8, 2014 her team is literally just a bunch of lazy idiots, There's so much they could have done to get BJ To #1.
LivinLegend Posted June 8, 2014 #16 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Omg thats what I said in the beginning cuz It's annoying that Selena also got #1 but sold like 1-2k less than Britney
Goten21 Posted June 8, 2014 #17 Report Posted June 8, 2014 yeah Omg thats what I said in the beginning cuz It's annoying that Selena also got #1 but sold like 1-2k less than Britney 15K less* 1
ashley Posted June 8, 2014 #18 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Tbh If they knew they weren't going to promote. They could have have just released it the week of Black Friday so at least it would get a push
Urbanney Posted June 8, 2014 #19 Report Posted June 8, 2014 stop you're going to make me mad like how BO should've been #1 as well
LivinLegend Posted June 8, 2014 #20 Report Posted June 8, 2014 15K less* Selena flops, I just said 1 or 2 cuz I didn't know it at the top of my head
Goten21 Posted June 8, 2014 #21 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Selena flops, I just said 1 or 2 cuz I didn't know it at the top of my head I remember it was 80-90K, soooo

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

Her team probs though Xmas was for the best tbh with Xmas presents and all that Circus was a well promoted and anticipated come back album. Britney Jean was outshadowed by shitty xmas stuff that's selling well every single year.
Tommy_0212 Posted June 8, 2014 Author #25 Report Posted June 8, 2014 stop you're going to make me mad like how BO should've been #1 as well It was Technically number one, but they changed something to do with the rules of the chart that week and it meant the Beatles remained #1 even though blackout sold more....
