Poll: Is the Femme Fatale era a 'Flop'?

CaptainMusic

I see a lot of people on here acting like Britney is over because of this era so i'm just wondering....

She sold 14-15 million records this era, was the 4th most played artist of 2011 on Pop radio (only behind Bruno, Rihanna and Katy), scored 3 top 10 hits (one #1 hit) which were three of the biggest airplay hits of her career, her 6th #1 album, a moderately successful tour, among several other things with BARELY any promotion.

The album itself sold 1.7 million and i can see why people would consider THAT a flop but the album =/= the era, and even then it still sold better than Nicki's Pink Friday:Roman Reloaded is and i don't see many people on here calling that a flop album......

So do YOU consider the FF era a 'Flop'?

It underperformed, but didn't flop. She was played a lot on radio and had successful singles but had absolutely 0% cultural relevance.

Moderate.

No, it just underperformed. The word "flop" gets thrown around too often here.

The era no. The album yes.

Only to the Beyhive maybe.

The Era was decent. Far from a flop.

Edit: Why is this reported?

Bad Wolf

The singles did well.

Havent we gone over this a million times?

Naah, not really.

The album sales were a bit lacklustre, but the successful tour (?) and singles more than compensated for that.

The OP knows the tea. it underperformed in some areas.

It just underperformed considering the strong material on the album, she didn't even do anything though so nobody knew she had an album out. Sure she had tons of radio play but I bet nobody besides fans even knew they were Britney songs

On one hand, it's an underperformance given the fact that it's Britney, the album had three successful singles and was made to seem like "Britney is back, forreal!!"

On another hand, considering it had zero promotion and was released in a dead sales period just so Jive could make cash off Britney one more time before it died........the album could be considered as performing better than expected.
