This isn't necessarily my opinion, but this article caught my eye. I am not too experienced with judging future album sales, but some of you guys are so I was wondering what everyone thought of this?

"With only a week to go until 'Femme Fatale' is released, things aren't looking so good for Britney’s 7th studio album. Whether its lack of promotion or just lack of interest from the general public, Femme Fatale can expect to shift low numbers. Proof? Okay. Despite being available to pre-order for the past 2 weeks on the iTunes album charts, Femme Fatale is sitting outside of the top 10. A week before 'Circus' release in the US, the album was #1 on the iTunes charts. Even Bionic was in the top 3 one week before its release date. Femme Fatale isn't doing too well either on the largest online retailer in the world, Amazon.com. The album sits at #16 on the Amazon Best Sellers in Music charts at the moment. Even Chris Browns new album F.A.M.E is higher than Femme Fatale. Femme Fatale might not even debut at #1, since Radioheads new album is also released on the same day and its sitting a lot higher than Femme Fatale on the best sellers chart. However, things are looking brighter for Femme Fatale in Australia at least. Music experts expect the album to debut at #1 in Australia.

First Goodbye Lullaby and now Femme Fatale?

Wow.

This is heart breaking, especially for her stans. But im still sure she will debut well. But most likely will fall off hard like her singles have. I predict around 1.5-2million worldwide total.

i wont say it will flop, but come on it leaked 17 days before the release !!!!

some people are already bored of it !

I don't think it will flop at all, there's just lack of promotion, once it starts I believe things will look better

I hope not.

Doesn't look good for her team at the moment, not a bad album at all(seen wor$e), but with the album leek, I say they will have it tough... She will sell decently well nonetheless imo


She wont Bionic flop but it wont be record breaking either

i'm her fan ,but i think it will be flop.

cause their promo was su*k, and her music as good as Circus, not praise to Blackout's level.

I really hope it's not gonna flop.

not in a million chance!

It will underpeform IMO.

What pressed soul reported this thread?

I hope femme fatale doesn't be her Bionic era

i really hope it wont flop.

Please don't!!!

First Bionic and Goodbye Lullaby

Now Femme Fatale

I think it will sell decently due to her large fan base worldwide, but it won't make any huge records either

I don't think so, I'm sure a lot more fans will go to the store and buy the cd... Not everyone pre-order's their cds from amazon and itunes lol
