WTF?! It is not that disappointing!

Go Disturbed and Goo Goo Dolls

Disturbed a very deserving #1

I think it's super dissapointing

What Disappointing Is that she Is Fighting Eminem for 3rd Place and it has only been two weeks

There was already a thread for this, but Billboard weighed in on her sales: http://www.billboard.com/news/katy-p...04112873.story

How mant threads are we gonna have about this?
Katy did just fine.

I hate how each female that drops an album they try so hard to label them as flops. But the men are praised for selling 60k with a #1 single.

This.

You people were crazy to think Katy was going to have huge sales. One of the Boys struggled to get to 1,000,000 with two super smash hits and another good sized hit. There really wasn't any reason to expect her to debut with smashing sales with only one huge smash and another still increasing hit. Katy is another Rihanna. Singles are huge and sell really well, but the albums struggle to sell a whole lot.

The music industry thought so, we didn't pull that out of thin air.

HDD thought so, nobody else did. They exaggerated from the first place, and they should have known that a pop star will never pull these numbers.

I just bought the physical copy, damn it smells good. People should stop trying to make a story out of nothing.

C'mon is still doubling OOTB's debut...not dissapointing at all...of course TD will outsell OOTB (1.27mill)

That's a moot point. Eminem is dragging everyone in sales.

See my Billboard post above.

It ain't that bad, it's only a normal drop.

The decrease was just 46%, the usual decrease is 55-70%

Or were you expecting her to outsell her first week or pull the same numbers? That doesn't happen that often...

Her drop isn't really good enough for me to think that the album will have crazy longevity or anything :-/
