Yeah right..
The song is #3 with chances of going #1 on the Hot 100, #2 on iTunes, and with that lame "reason" you gave, do we call every soundtrack song a flop?
You disliking him/the song =/= the song flopping.
I swear some of you are complete dumbasses who just spew ******** out just for the hell of it.
I honestly think sales and chart positions are completely redundant. Y'all know what y'all do. Yeah LOUD sold 6 million copies, but 6 million people didn't buy LOUD because the Navy have all purchased at least 2 copies their damn selves. Sales don't matter, at least to me. I consider them fluff. Y'all request hours upon hours of the day to try and land your faves a top 10 hit and when it "flops" you all have meltdowns, but in reality does chart positioning and sales really decipher what a flop is when each artists respective fanbase are unique?
For example, most of Mary J. Blige's fanbase is going to go out and buy her album and that's it. They aren't going to sit on their asses and request their lives away. They aren't going to purchase the album and then purchase the single off of iTunes multiple times yet alone once. As she's matured as an artist so has her fanbase. Just because her singles aren't charting high does it necessarily mean it's a flop?
In a world where illegal downloading, payola, and other schemes exist how do we really know what's being "used" and what's not?
All of this **** is a waste of energy, but hey different strokes for different folks.

That's just my opinion. For the most part, I don't think sales and chart positions really tell how successful a single is. That can really boil down to chance, marketing, and timing.
peak is not all that matters, there are other things to define a flop, like weeks charting, appreciation, total sales, etc..
if one song debuts at #01 and the next week disappears from the top 100, tell me, would it be a hit??? don't think so
it is neither a flop too, fyi.
at least it spent nine weeks on top 100 and manage to peaked at #10 and sell 800k. All these together make it a moderate hit.
and Hard was not a flop.
