I LOVE IT !

I'm sure "Scream" ruined it all. That song is a creaking mess. I was totally in love with "Climax" but then "Screech" came out and turned me off. That surely happened to many people.

This is what happens when you abandon the audience that's made you relevant for pretty much your whole career. Minus the last 2 albums, which I have no desire to listen to.

urban / rap-hiphop / the 18-24 demo / cash money fans in the south / middle american teens who are on the lil wayne bandwagon / people who follow & have been following cash money for awhile since the 90s propelled wayne to #1

They called MDNA a flop and she's been around 30 years

Yeah, that's the one I couldn't remember lol and yeah, I think they sold 197k or something not quite sure tho.

Lil Wayne had How To Love as a crossover pop/urban hit though. That does wonders for albums. It's why Loud sold so much more than Talk That Talk, because of What's My Name? imo.

Nicki is in the same boat. Her only hits this year have been Starships, Turn Me On and Give Me All Your Luvin'. The general public think she's another Pitbull/Flo Rida. Most people have no idea her album has songs like Marilyn Monroe or Right By My Side on it.

I need him on the Bionic cover.

He didn't abandon his urban audience. "Climax" was a big hit there. However, there was a little emphasis placed more on "Scream." Those type of songs do not sell albums, and it could have possibly alienated some of his fanbase. "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" did nothing for his EP.

The album doesn't have a lot of "smashes" though. Euphoria might have to be reconsidered if it's damaging his sales (or songs like it). He needs to release the title track immediately.

Bitch please !


Everyone here is just so delusional , this flop was so predictable ... I mean, i've never seen a sellout this big since ... NEVER. Even Nicki Minaj manage to do a 200k with being a big ass sellout.

R&B artist who want to sell albums don't do dance song. Final point. When people will understand this ? The rule major to sell to its fanbase is to remain honorable and remain an artist in his work.

Well I mean Starships and BITT were the only singles released this year. BITT is huge on Urban, but like you said it doesn't have that cross-over appeal.

Release "Twisted" now and watch the album sell platinum.

Less first week than "flop" Jennifer Hudsons last album?!?!

If Talk That Talks first week was a major flop, this is the biggest bomb of the year!

yeah ;-\ he's catering to that pop **** now. like putting out a pop single & an urban single simultaneously & thats wack

Ugh. She is only at her second album ad had a lot hype!!! Of course she would sell 200K.

He sold out with OMG and still sold more than this. And yes many people were on board after "Climax" but "Scream" ruined it.

You're dumb.

Talk That Talk was during Black Friday......

you're doing too much

Scream didn't kill anything
