Artists who tried to sell sex & underperformed commercially
contratory to belief many label execs ect ect think that getting their artists to act promiscuous or provocative is a way to sell records, but of course this isn’t the case
although some artists choose themselves to try it it usually seems way too forced and doesn’t resonate well with the music buying public which is ironic since most of the time it’s supposed to be a marketing tactic who has been a victim of this and is better off just focusing on their sound ect ect to please their audience?
She was naked almost all the time (see: the music videos, promo performances) and even pretended to have sex with R Kelly on stage for the DWUW performances, yet was still out-sold by pretty much all her peers that released that year
Demi and Xtina. Stripped only peaked at #2 in the US and she only managed to get a hit that era with Beautiful. The album also sold half of her debut and she went from three number 1s to 1 top ten.
