Americano 31,061 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Unapologetic is flopping. It's not even on the WW albums chart anymore after barely selling 3m copies, less than half of what BTW and RED have sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rated R, Loud and GGGB had flop singles, especially Rated R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause I'm really skeptical of these updates. I think the deal is still going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mills 446 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Speaking of P!nk, she's the only female lead artist who scored a HOT 100 #1 this year so far. And this year is almost half done. It's a complete contrast to the first half of the last four years or so (2009-2012) - when female pop stars were dominating the charts. I guess this also the same reason why tracks like Crazy Kids aren't zooming up as expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick4bty 2,758 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I was just going to say.....why is P!nk always forgotten? lol. She's had 3/3 Top 10s this era, a 3-week #1, and an album that's on its way to 2x platinum. And she's still going strong. But if we're talking about in the past year - Rihanna technically hasn't had a flop. WHYB, Diamonds, and Stay have all hit. Her album numbers are subject to criticism, but 1x platinum isn't that bad.

Cherry 17 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I don't really understand why radio hasn't picked it up, tbh. C'mon wasn't THAT big of a flop for radio to completely diss her afterward like they have. Even Die Young was getting more spins than Crazy Kids less than a week ago. It sounds good on the radio, it's a good summer song....it doesn't really make sense.The song doesn't have a memorable hook (the key to any hit pop song) + "C'mon" didn't sell + "Crazy Kids" isn't selling + the Warrior album REALLY isn't sellingAll things considered, radios are being very generous with the airplay they're giving it.

Klou 2,414 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I want you guys to see Right Now from my perspective: Right Now AI - 24M iTunes - #147 Crazy Kids AI - 14.8M iTunes - #52 :awkney: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry 17 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I dont get why RCA wont book her for promo....Well, she's on tour, and I doubt that she can get any promo slots that are going to help her. The major TV shows are surely not lining up to book her like they were 3 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ke$ha doesn't have rhythmic and she lost staple status on pop after "Die Young". Not surprising that Rihanna has better airplay.

APPLAUSE4YOU 395 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 But the only copy selling anything is her solo version. So other than the music video, I don't see how that means anything. But Crazy Kids has like 4 remixes and a music video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 . But Crazy Kids has like 4 remixes and a music video I know, I'm just comparing hers to Crazy Kids, which a lot of people on here think is flopping for whatever reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
