Mariah the Elusive skinny legend.

OMG :air:

I thought it was an album title! Do they really call Mariah skinny legend? Isn't it sort of... you know... offensive?

ARTPOP is not a flop ... yes it underperformed but its nowhere near a true flop. 

lotus is probably the most iconic flop album. tbh, only pop stans label things flop or smash, so id go with lotus. even now when albums allegedly leak, people trick you into downloading lotus just for the giggles. thats how influential her flopness is.

To my knowledge, it comes from the fact that she photoshopped herself extensively on her album cover Me I am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse, thinking no one would say anything.

Example:

The Album Cover vs. What She Actually looked like in 2014

Glitter

I don't mean any disrespect by sharing this gif but it's literally the visualization of how the album tanked.

It was (clearly) overshadowed by 9/11 and on top of that was not well received by critics and fans. It was her first album with Virgin after signing $100 million contract (biggest recording contract at the time) and the under performance led to Virgin dropping Mariah  by paying her off (I think $50 mil). The critical and commercial failure of the album and movie + over exhaustion led Mariah to a breakdown.

It was 28 million that Virgin paid her by invoking a clause to 'cancel' the contract. The official press release said 'terminate', Mariah's camp sued and called the label "deplorable", and then Virgin countersued for defamation. A giant mess. :smh:

Is the glitter era consider a flop solely for the movie tanking or for the album as well? If we are being fair, the album (while a low number for Mariah) sold more than 500,000 copies in the US. The movie (meanwhile) made back less than 1/4 of its budget. Is the album just a flop when compared to her other albums?

ARTPOP. 

Because even though it's considered a flop to many, it still sold millions.  

unlike some other flop albums we won't mention. 

and that's the tea on that. ;)
