Miley 5,006 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 This is not really flopping. This is quite impressive because Britney did absolutely NO PROMO and she still pulled in over a 100K+ copies in the 1st week. Good Job, Britney! If you wanna talk about flopping....Look at Katy, GAGA, and Miley's 1st week sales. These 3 women who are the top females right now, after all the publicity and promotion pulled in only 200K +. What happened with Katy, GAGA , and Miley is what's embarrassing because no one expected them to debut that low after all was said and done, but almost everyone expected Britney to debut around 75K - 100K, some even predicted 45k. So Britney won in the end. Actually Miley opened with 170k more than her previous album and Katy 90k. Still don't change the fact that they didn't sell a lot but if anything it was expected tbh. Lotus/Warrior/ARTPOP then we're talking. On topic, 108k is great since it's her 8th album! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Ryan 1,468 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Not surprising. She has the worst promo by an artist I have ever seen. Did anyone even know or care the album was coming out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Criminal 2 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Lmao HDD predicted over 115k for her. Not 45k Where did I say HDD predicted 45K for her? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runway 27,876 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Where did I say HDD predicted 45K for her? You said ARTPOP flopped because it sold less than expected but BJ sold only 108k despite official predictions of 115-120k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Angel 128 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 She did absolutely no promotion and chart positions are irrelevant anyway. Sales are all that matters. GaGa, Miley, and Katy all had huge publicity, hype, and/or successful previous eras which should've done them a lot more than 200k. Most people don't even know Britney released a new album. 108K is enough to go #1 on a slower sales week. It's the holiday season and she's after 1D and Garth Brooks who surprisingly nabbed a #1. Had she released on an odd week in August or sometime then, she could have gone #1. 108K isn't horrible for her considering the lack or performances. If i'm not positive, Selena went #1 and still had lower numbers. Just depends on the week. We as a fan base are in no position to talk or insult though. lol I totally see what you're saying. And I'm not even defending these numbers cause I sort of like her. Britney Jean is very bad in comparison to the other records she's released.

Michael 533 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It's a shame, as it's a great album. But as a Britney fan, I just don't care. If Britney and her team don't care enough to promote her music then I also don't care about how much she sells and where she charts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girrr 1,086 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I finally listened to this album. The first half is good! I think based on that she's been in the game so long, she's worn out and people don't care anymore. But to still pull half of what Gaga pulled with little promotion is good.

MonsterMarty 96 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 OMG if she had of sold 1400 more she'd be #2 instead of #5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefani328 321 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 What bothers me is the same people that are defending BJ are the same people that dragged( not just weren't happy), but DRAGGED Gaga sales three weeks ago., yet they are the ones calling others hypocrites and screaming Karma. It doesn't work both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth Criminal 2 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 You said ARTPOP flopped because it sold less than expected but BJ sold only 108k despite official predictions of 115-120k First off I didn't say ARTPOP flopped. Second, I didn't say HDD predicted 45K...so I don't know where you're getting all this from but certainly not from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstreak 6,653 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It's an ok number. I was surprised at a number 5 debut but it's not that big of a deal when you see how close they all are. In the end though none of this really means much. When you consider the amount of promo that went into the album you can tell it wasn't their main priority so Britney's team could probably care less what it sells. Right now it's all about Vegas which I'm sure she'll do well at. Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMiles 0 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 In terms of Entertainment and my personal my views on flopping, I believe flopping is when something cost more to produce that it generates income. If the album doesn't turn a profit, flop. If it does, then great. Britney Jean didn't too hot but I'm sure she got a nice profit in addition to her Vegas shows. When it comes to charts and flops, then maybe it did. 5 isn't too bad, but she didn't really do much promo so its kinda expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valextra 58 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 In my opinion these numbers are not bad for the promo that she did (nothing), it's obvious that she really doesn't care about. Better than Avril Lavigne that with promo she did 44k... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
