Well, Nelly's previous album was a WW smash. Bionic was a flop. Lotus is just a continuation of the flop.

Nelly flopping with Spirit Indestructible is more shocking than Xtina's flopping TBH

it's because she waited 6 years to release a new english album. Rihanna and Broken Spearit's teams know how crucial it is to never leave the game for too long

and she's Latina

Pretending there was anything of significance or majesty for an iceberg to sink.

Her star is small but buoyant, she'll stay afloat and bounce back (to basics).

Christina didn't even pass my BASIC test for relevancy a few pages back. I'm truly confounded at the stanbase for her.

Because Christina's last two albums are her entire discography...

Your test is flawed bb.

is your test album sales?

I doubt Xtina really cares about that. This was first evident when she released a double disc when it should have been concise single album

She cares. That's what happens when these so-called "artists" begin taking matters into their own hands when they're ill-equipped to do so.

Just look at the disaster that is Lady Gaga post-Laurieann Gibson.

Really? Because each disc counts as 1 sale in the RIAA's eyes.
You tried.

Edit: I guess not because it was under 100 minutes total. Actually, that whole thing could have fit on 1 CD. What a mess. Same thing with IA...SF

source/link?

I'm pretty sure a double disc counts as one.

 

[botty]

I'm not seeing the correlation you're trying to string together here. How does an artists' current relevancy prevent them from having stans?

By this logic any dead artist would eventually lose all of their stans, but obviously this isn't true because the Madonna stans contradict this.

 

[Bladenic]

Yawn.

 

[Koodo]

She cares. That's what happens when these so-called "artists" begin taking matters into their own hands when they're ill-equipped to do so.

The little periods care as well, judging by how they tried to peddle a fake $90 million gross for the Back To (Being A) Basic Tour for a couple of years. Seems the actual gross barely crawled its way above $60 million.

I would ahve to find it, butt there is a video clip of her saying she's shooting herself in the foot for the sake of artistic integrity.


she doesn't care about album sales. If Bionic had not flopped, she wouldn't been pressured to release Lotus this year, and we would have waited until at least 2014.

Not to mention she has also gone on record to say that she doesn't care, or enjoy talking about the financial side of the industry since her debut era.

I'm seeing $90 million for the Based In Basics Tour, yet I can't find any boxscore data or receipts...

Like her current status as a signed artist, this remains a mystery.

Breezeroni sounds like he'd fit in on POPGAF.

Yes, I bet she doesnt care about sales or hits. Thats why she worked with indie producer Max Martin.

Too bad I just turned in my ballot because I started listening to Unorthodox Jukebox on Spotify and it's kind of amazing. I'm surprised at myself because I hated him up until LOOH.

How does working with one super producer (over a decade after her debut) discredit her years of working with other experimental producers/writers/artist?

I'm not saying she isn't trying to get a hit album/record, but it's clear her priorities have always been about the artistry first.

The periods' utter lack of attention to detail is only mirrored by their fave's similar deficit. They fabricate the following line on Wikipedia:

"It grossed over $90 million worldwide with 80 dates."

Only to forget the citation claims:

"Christina Aguilera ($48.1 million)"

How is that her not caring?

Back To Basics would have most likely sold better if she released a year or 2 after stripped, but she relaxed, took her time, and released it after 4 years. The industry just doesn't allow long breaks. Nobody knows this better than Rihanna and Broken Spearit

Yes, I bet she doesnt care about sales or hits. Thats why she worked with indie producer Max Martin.

that's because of her management, they care and she's just cooperating. But look at her image, look at her drive(weak promo), of course she doesn't care

at least definitly not the same way she did for Stripped and Back To Basics

 

[cory64]

"Treasure" is a bop. (except for some obvious autotune

Not the full story.

First off the number you're quoting only counts the North America leg of the tour. That doesn't count almost half the tour's total dates.

The people quoting 90 million are getting it from the website of Jamie King - the director of the Back to Basics Tour - where it is stated that the tour grossed 90 million WW. People doubt his website as a valid source, and there is of course valid reason for that, but it still remains that he's the only person whose given a number publicly for how much the BTB Tour grossed worldwide. At least since the last time I checked. And, considering that he was the director of the show, it is believable that he would be privy to such information.

So, until someone comes forth with a more credible source, his number is the closest thing to accurate (for WW numbers) we have to go by. #TooBadSoSad

Spoiler

Of course, this is why I originally stated that I didn't outright disbelieve you. I've been wanting more confirmation myself. But until we get official confirmation from elsewhere his are the most valid receipts to go by. I've checked.

Well I dont think she doesnt care. I think she's probably under some sort of thinking that's she's above all that or that she doesnt need promo to get her name/work out there.

We'll have to see soon. I was under the impression that her promo opportunities were limited because of The Voice since other TV companies would not be so keen on giving airtime to the judge of one of the biggest reality TV shows at the moment.

Not the full story.

Darling, Billboard Boxscore is the full story. No ifs or buts; they print the receipts.

The grosses for the Top 10 acts within are all worldwide numbers; the first three were reported as worldwide, and so it follows that the following seven are also worldwide numbers.

You are correct in assessing it's not the full story only in relation to the cutoff date not including three dates in 2008 (Billboard's cutoff date of November 13 means it did include all the European dates in late 2006). That's it.

Hmmm. That number still misses about 14. Though it is highly unlikely she made 30 mill from that, it still odd there's no official number around.

although it's just her career that seems to have given up on

I don't know if I'd say she's given up on her career, but it's becoming obvious that she doesn't prioritize it like she once did.

And who can blame her? As a fan, I wish she was giving us more. But I also can't fault her if she wants to prioritize her family and private life now.

Hardly a case of Broken Spearit - who's basically a rotting shell of her former self and still being pimped out by her father.

Poor Leona Lewis, and for once I do mean that without a bit of shade.

Her biggest mistake was sticking with Simon for as long as she did (he's not managing her anymore, right?). He does absolutely NOTHING to evolve his acts and keep them in the public spotlight, which is exactly what she needed.

1D will learn this soon enough. Simon's eyes were particularly bright this season of X-Factor when looking at Emblem 3 and Fifth Harmony. Mark my words, as soon as he finds another group watch 1D's profile drop considerably...
