djBuffoon 12,129 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It was a come-down from her previous sales, but obviously it still sold quite well. Either way, the album still slays to this very day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy scheisse 22,321 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 its been established already that-- in comparison to her other works, it was less impactful/commercial-- in comparison to the 99% of artists trying to sell albums, it was successful bai Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcina Dimitrescu 1,157 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 they said it's a flop because it's a flop compared to BTW sales and because the 25 millions loss "news" that Angela Cheng spread. I think that that artistically its a flop but thats not the topic at hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
