Peaking in the top 20 is flopping very badly?

Look at Rihanna's eras, she's had big flops in her eras and she's still here, being a badass bitch and becoming one of the most important females in music. The rare success of the Teenage Dream era makes you think anything that isn't #1 is a flop for Katy, it's almost impossible to replicate the huge success of that era so it's really pointless to make such stupid remarks. By that logic, Adele's next album is a guaranteed flop.
