Was this even a question? That's why celebrities always try to never disappear from the public (Media). All what Christina needs to do to save herself now is a hit. The Popular Culture doesn't have a memory.

For the record, any artist who will disappear for four years will suffer the same. Christina just chose the wrong single as lead single.

Gaga doing amazing, two albums in the Top 20!

Kesha

Britney stopped doing music for 4 years and she did way better than this.

Christina is living right up to her alias, Floptina. These numbers are not great and they aren't surprising.

B.o.B is holding on strong. His album sold another 20k. "Airplanes" is doing wonders for his album.

True, but he said that 'celebrities never try to disappear from the spotlight.' There may have been 4 years between ITZ and Blackout, but Britney was in the spotlight for that entire period with K-Fed, babies, the divorce, meltdowns, etc. Her comeback was much anticipated because of all this.

It's still beyond me why RCA allowed Not Myself Tonight, a song with NO chorus, to serve as a LEAD single off an album from an artist who had been absent for basically 4 years.

But even after 4 years she should've been able to retain at least two-thirds of her past fanbase. This is actually quite sad for me to watch because I wanted this album to do a lot better.

NMT ruined this era, I'm sorry

That's not what I meant. People still remembered who Britney was, and she appeared on the TV and Internet quiet a lot in these four years.

Honestly, how many times did you hear the name Christina Aguilera in 2007, 2008 and 2009? Yeah, that's my point. Britney vanished from the Music Industry, but she didn't vanish from the Media.

NMT did ruin this era. As I already said, the Pop Culture doesn't have a memory. Since there are so many new and different popstars everday, it's hard to keep track of them all. The only thing the celebrity need to do to be remembered is just simply to be photographed.

Pop Culture is very different from the High Culture.

I remember in 2007 when Alicia Keys took a three to four year absence between The Diary of Alicia Keys & As I Am. Even after that long break & not being talked about in the media, her album garnered a #1 single & sold 742K first week.

Christina's sales are inexcusable. There are obviously other factors involved in the decrease.

I wanted Bionic at #1 I'm so sad

Alicia isn't a Popstar, and R&B isn't a part of the Pop Culture.

Alicia Keys is a household name and a huge crossover artist.

I think you are forgetting that Alicia had No One one of the biggest songs of the year .. and Xtina has a comeback single that only peaked at 23 and a failed attempt at 2nd single which peaked at 79. If Xtina had a #1 first single, her first week sales would have been 300K+

I included that No One was a huge hit in my post

I don't know, I'll wait till next Wednesday to see how Bionic truly did.

No matter how big a brand name you are.
- No hit lead single after ALL that time off.

There is just no way you will have the same succcess.

Especially if you are a Popstar

I don't really care about how much Bionic sold in its first week (Although it would've been cool if it sold a lot ) I think the real shame here is that Twilight's ( ) SOUNDTRACK will probably debut higher
