The-Dream - Love Vs. Money
March 10, 2009
Singles (Billboard Hot 100 Peak)
Rockin That Thang (#22), My Love feat. Mariah Carey (#82), Walkin On The Moon feat. Kanye West (--)
US SALES TO DATE
387,178
Why should this have been a success?
Huge records with Beyonce and Rihanna, ummm..his last album only sold 550k so...
What went wrong?
Poor single choices, rushed singles...
Chance of recovery?
Walkin On The Moon is its last hope. It's currently growing on radio and on itunes so it still has a chance.
Keri Hilson - In A Perfect World
March 24, 2009
Singles (Billboard Hot 100 Peak)
Energy (#78), Return The Favor feat. Timbaland (--), Turnin Me On feat. Lil Wayne (#15), Knock You Down feat. Kanye West & Ne-Yo (#3)
US SALES TO DATE
327,000
Why should this have been a success?
She was on The Way I Are, Timbaland and Polow Da Don protege, high-profile features, and internet buzz surrounding supposed Beyonce/Ciara diss track.
What went wrong?
New artist, little promo, tons of pushbacks.
Chance of recovery?
Keri has proven that with the help of huge star features on her singles, she can top the R&B charts and go top ten on the Hot 100. Knock You Down is currently top 3 on the Hot 100 and still growing on radio and digitally. Plus the rumored next single features Keyshia Cole and Trina. High chance of exiting flopdom.
Flo Rida - R.O.O.T.S.
March 30, 2009
Singles (Billboard Hot 100 Peak)
Right Round feat. Ke$ha (#1), Shone feat. Pleasure P (#57), Sugar feat. Wynter Gordon (#5), Jump feat. Nelly Furtado (#95)
US SALES TO DATE
177,091
Why should this have been a success?
HUGE first single. One of the biggest Hot 100 hits in years.
What went wrong?
People only bought the singles, not the album.
Chance of recovery?
0. Jump feat. Nelly Furtado may very well become a hit, but as we've seen in the past, Flo Rida's hit singles do not influence his album sales.

Asher Roth - Asleep In The Bread Aisle
April 20, 2009
Singles (Billboard Hot 100 Peak)
I Love College (#12), She Don't Wanna Man feat. Keri Hilson (--)
US SALES TO DATE
126,958
Why should this have been a success?
What went wrong?
One-hit wonder. I Love College was a staple among teenagers, but other than that Asher has nothing to offer.
Chance of recovery?
The new single "She Don't Wanna Man" hasn't gone for adds at radio yet and Keri Hilson has proven herself to be a hit with radio so we'll see.

May 5, 2009
Singles (Billboard Hot 100 Peak)
Epiphany (#89), Blame It On Me (--)
US SALES TO DATE
156,000

Well it is.....it debuted way higher than her debut and sold about 60k+ more first week than her debut. Her debut eneded up selling 400k+.
What went wrong?
Nothing. Just some salty ppl.
Chance of recovery?
GREAT chance. Urban A/C will play Blame It On Me like there's no tomorrow. Plus she'll get a grammy boost.

US SALES TO DATE
132,978
Why should this have been a success?
HUGE 1st album, BIG 2nd album, high-profile featured artists, great producers, TV appearances, etc.
What went wrong?
Poor single choices, leaked songs and sound change from R&B/Crunk/Pop to Pop with LITE R&B.
Chance of recovery?
The fate of the album lies in the hands of Like A Surgeon, which could bring its sales back up if it clicks with Urban audiences, unlike her other singles.

Biggest producers and writers in the pop music world....yeah that's it.
What went wrong?
No promo, the music was bigger than the girls, too edgy, etc.
Chance of recovery?
Their next single "P Is For Power", which talks about "pu**y" is their last chance. So basically...they're done.
FUTURE ADDITIONS TO THE LIST...
June 11, 2009
July 28,2009
Jessie James - Jessie James
August 18,2009
These albums were chosen based on the following: # of singles, # of hit singles, album sales, speed of chart tumble, potential, promotion, and previous album sales. The sales to date reflect sales from the 6/13/2009 Soundscan Sales Chart. An albums presence on the list does not imply that such album is of terrible quality. If any flop albums were omitted, it's because they were forgotten a little too quickly lol
