According to Radio and Records, the publication and Web site that monitors airplay of hit records, both Lopez’s “Do it Well” and Spears’ “Gimme More” are at the bottom of the Top 40 charts and almost nonexistent at dance or disco-oriented stations.
On top of that, Lopez’s album, “Brave,” which debuted on Tuesday, has fallen to No. 87 on Amazon.com. And even though the single “Do It Well” is in the 80s on iTunes for downloading, the album has managed to climb up to No. 13 right now on the digital music site.
Hitsdailydouble.com predicts that physical sales of “Brave” will be a mere 55,000 to 60,000 copies this week. Digital sales won’t do much for it.

This is a far cry from the millions Lopez used to sell. It’s apparent that Lopez’s terrible performance on “Good Morning America” — where she lip-synched and barely moved around, letting dancers do calisthenics around her rather than endanger her reported (and obvious) pregnancy — turned off whoever might have bought the album apart from her core fan group.
i'm glad j los album flopped. she used to make great songs bang them out one after the other play, waiting 4 tonight, love dont cost a thing, if u had my love, im real remix and so on... i dont get what exactly she is tryin to do making al album filled with boring songs? cant she work with people from her 1st album? how is it britney can still fart excellent pop songs. j lo could have sung gimme more radar type songs too? and j lo can only get one decent track like do it well?? i wish she still made great music like her 1st two albums. oh well go have your baby and stop making music pls tks
^uh-huh sure, whatever you say...do you even know the meaning of the word "masterpiece"? ok, "Do It Well" is a good track and I can name about 5 others tracks on Brave that are good, solid tracks even though I doubt they could ever make good singles. I just wish Jennifer had dropped some of the dead weight off of this album (Never Gonna Give Up, The Way It Is, Be Mine, I Need Love etc.) and instead invested in a few sure-fire hit singles...maybe then it could've been called a masterpiece. There's nothing on this album that is as compulsively listenable as her first 3 albums or her remix album or even "Get Right" or "Cherry Pie" for that matter.
