I mean, that's what people like Nicki Minaj are selling. Everyone else has outsold Britney as of lately - P!nk with a GH and her new studio album, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna with her 46346388 albums since FF, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake (IN ONE WEEK  )... And the list goes on. I won't even mention the likes of Adele and Taylor Swift for OBVIOUS reasons, but I think I've made my point, right? 
Oh, I also won't mention Christina Aguilera.  |
There is no justifying FF's sales, they are horrendous. The fact that it hasn't even sold 800K in the US yet is just
And I don't like most of the photoshoots from the FF era, her eyes looked completely dead in most of them. FF in general has to seriously be one of the most poorly executed eras ever by a big name artist.
I will never understand how her team let her perform the way she did in those promo performances, and those terrible performances are the one of the biggest reasons FF flopped as hard as it did. Some stans might not want to admit it but image really is EVERYTHING for artists, especially those who have sold themselves as a sex symbol for most of their career, so when Britney looks a drugged up mess in her performances or on a show like X Factor (see the Gold dress) all it does is damage their status. We all know FF would've sold much better had she actually bothered to get in shape for the era and looked hot on the album cover.
