Not much. It's a great pop album but it just doesn't stand out at all, it doesn't have a very strong identity. And you can blame the producers for that. I really hope she works with other people for the next album.

2-3 million and probably at least 400-500k her first week.

Somewhere around 2-3m. So many excuses in this thread my god.

2-3 million, I suppose.

She had a #1 song that was played ad nauseam on pop radio. Plus a worldwide tour. My fave had neither one of those things. Makes no sense that her album was able to outsell Britney's. Give my fave a 79 date tour as well as a number one radio hit song, "4" would've had at least 2 million in sales in America.

I'm sorry but Femme Fatale should've done better. Not here for the excuses.

That same #1 hit pretty much underperformed and peaked at 88 million.

Y'all are so QUICK to act like hiam is some kind of flop but then in other circumstances you wanna act like it was some Katy perry sized hit.

4 sold more because she had a lot more promotion, was coming from a more successful era and had like 5-6 RnB hits (a market which is pretty loyal in the album buying department) to support the album. Not to mention all the videos she's released as well.
