The only iconic flop is Bionic. Glitter was not iconic as it underperformed but it was eclipsed by Mariah' mental breakdown whereas Bionic was from and center on the headlines talking about a hughe name like Christina Aguilera was flopping.

People in real life knew about Glitter flopping. Nobody but ATRL and Perez knew about Bionic flopping.
From 3,000,000 in US to 600,000 in 1999-2001.
A mental breakdown put her in hospital.
A mental breakdown on TRL.
Movie to go along w/ Soundtrack; budget over $20 million for movie -- movie made less than $5 million.
$100 million 5 album contract w/ Virgin; after Glitter flopping she is pushed out the contract after 1 album for a $55 million payout.
Lead Single discounted to 49cents after not reaching Top 60, despite all her previous 8 Lead Singles reaching #1; peaked at #2 even w/ discount. Soundtrack released on same day as 9/11.
Debuted and peaked at #7.
Virgin also had to lay off 3,000 workers and end many of their artists' eras (Janet's 'All For You' an example) early due to the severe money loss.
Such a QUEEN. + the iconic breakdown on E!.
Come on Get Up should have went #1 I'll never forgive Mariah for this
Erotica and Glitter are the only albums that the GP knew and cared about flopping. Other examples like Bionic and Britney Jean are only "iconic" in the stan world.
Not haters broke their heels to post ARTPOP when there are alot of worse flops Noone even knows ARTPOP had an underperformance outside the stan forums.
