I think the FF was executed well in terms of release dates for singles. They were released at good times and Britney was played consistently on US radio for a good 9-10 mos. and scored 3 Top 10's US and WW and decent album sales (780K in the US and 1.7M WW is not a flop and I don't understand why people can't grasp that concept, it was still the 25th best selling album of the year out of hundreds that were released). The FFT was far from a flop and was the 11th highest grossing tour of the year and both the album and tour received positive reviews. Let's not forget that the music videos (sans Criminal) all had great views and earned Britney 2 VEVO certificates and also received positive reviews.

In general, the FF era was an era that was just there. I don't think it helped or hurt Britney tremendously.

At least we got TTWE out of the FF era, a decent hit and her most critically acclaimed single in forever.

How close is it to 3x Platinum btw?

Yeah most don't realize that it's from the iconic night when her ***** was hanging out, so she couldn't dance.

Originally posted by Anthony K. Let's stop sugarcoating it, for Christ's sake - 780k in the US and 1.7 million worldwide are not decent numbers when you are BRITNEY ****ING SPEARS. I mean, that's what people like Nicki Minaj are selling. Everyone else has outsold Britney as of lately - P!nk with a GH and her new studio album, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna,Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake (IN ONE WEEK )... And the list goes on. I won't even mention the likes of Adele and Taylor Swift for OBVIOUS reasons. Oh, I also won't mention Christina Aguilera.

Ya'll act like this is a new thing though! Sorry to break it to ya, but people have been outselling Britney since 2001.

2001 - Avril Lavigne.
2003 - Norah Jones.
2007 - Rihanna/Nelly.
2008 - Beyonce, P!nk, Gaga.

I mean, Britney has great album sales and all but she has been outsold by other artists for over a decade now so I honestly don't see why so many fans take the time to point out FF the most.

And Ke$ha

I agree though, there is not justifying these numbers. FF was a flop by Britney's standards and there is no denying that. I want next album to do at least 1.5m in the US and 4m WW.

No one is expecting her album to be the top-selling one every year, but with FF she was outsold by pretty much EVERY other major pop star.

Notice how your list consists of just a few names and if we were to make a list for 2011:

2011 - Adele x2, Gaga, Rihanna x2, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Pink, hell even Gaga's TFM and Amy Winehouse outsold Britney that year.

Originally posted by Rexsus Avril, Nelly and Norah flopped abysmally with their latest efforts though. At least Brit has more staying power than them.

As bad as Avril's flopped, her sales are not much lower than FF's.

Again, tells you how bad FF sales really are.
