It's a shame, it's a great album. She's loaded with money anyway so I'm sure she'll continue to put out music.

IKR, she could retire now and enjoy her yearly royalties from her Christmas classics.
She could even feed and raise her children and grandchildren from those royalties

Gurl please. MDNA sold like 740k 1st week worldwide even though the lead single underperformed by Madonna standards. The ticket thing was only in the US and it wasn't even 15% of the total 1st week US sales. Plus, her tickets are super expensive so it's not like you could get the album with a 50 buck ticket. It cost a lot of money.

The superbowl means nothing outside of the US. She did no promo apart from that and it was like 2 months before the album release.

Plus, she is 56 years old. Not 44-45 like Mariah.

That's what I call showing the receipts!

Mariah is still too young to retire ot settle for mediocre sales. I thought her career would have a second wind. Well third wind. Her second wind was Emancipation I guess.

She's never going to do do big tours like Tina Turner, Madonna etc. So is this the end for her?

Janet was in her early 40s when she "retired"...

So what? Then Janet was too young to retire as well. In my opinion.

Cher Lloyd (Epic) 18-20k

I hope she can exceed expectations.

Her record sales allow her to retire.

why shud Mariah retire when she can still release music which puts her peers to shame?

Mariah would've easily sold 600K+ first week if she did a little promo. She can still come close by the end of the week. the GP is literally eating this album up.

Really ?! Do you think her new album put Celine to shame for example?

Half of that came from ticket bundling and let's not forget she just came off the Superbowl. Madonnas promo was insane.

You're kidding right??
Superbowl was in February 3rd and the album came out March 24

Madonna's 'PROMO SCHEDULE' the week the album came out:

1] A Facebook chat with Jimmy Fallon;
2] An 'ask me anything' night on Twitter ;
3] Introduced Avicci at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami (when he debuted his "super hot' Girl Gone Wild' Remix)

And that was it !

So please gurl , let's not even put Madonna and Promo in the same sentence

Mariah should've just released it last July. #Beautiful was stable, she had the press coming off American Idol, and was promoting left and right! 100k+ was guaranteed at that point.

That was her mistake. Beautiful had steem and she failed to take advantage if it. Still a great cd though

no no no, you didn't get me, I hope she won't retire, but I just think that 40 is not that young for the industry... like they might force her to retire or something... I hope she will keep releasing
