EDIT: checked wikipedia, and wtf at Avril releasing last week without me knowing?!? =-o

Has this album even been promoted?!?

Girl yes, this album has been promoted a bit! Not great promo though! Go check the video section! Can't believe you didn't know it was released

And I agree with Emmanuel, her hair has nothing to do with sales

I think her hair makes her look like a child, and it doesn't do justice to the image and content of the album, it's a mess, many people won't take her seriously. But you're right, that's not the only reason...

Bad single choice, no promo is the reason for the album sales. No one will buy an album for a track like WTH. Songs like Push, Everybody Hurts and I Love You sell albums. Songs like WTH, and Smile do not sell albums

This is the main reason of course.

you just get 1 worship post and then you feel u know everything and came with this ****
belive me that they're 187132878722 ugliest artist with real bad image and can sell, that's just stupid.

she's BEAUTIFUL, btw not everyone look at interviews or promo in TV...

music videos I think is the only important thing in which they need to look the best because that's watched by millions and Avril has look STUNNING in all them.

image is a totally different thing, are u that stupid that just because she has a bit of green hair people is not gonna buy her music?

GAGA is "monster" and she's HUGE so don't be idiot.

Come on Emmanuel, , nobody said she's ugly, the point is current image makes her look immature, and it doesn't fit this album.

About the Gaga comparison, that woman is a mess, her weird image fits her current awful music.

The thing is, you think Avril is perfect and does everything right, but that's not happening right now.

Just added the WTH sales. She has exactly 1,166,000 sales of WTH WW 1.2 million ! Britney has 1.9 million! Just for comparison to a #1 smash!

I think it could be above 100k, let's not underestimate her.

First day sales were bad, and that's what Billboard bases it off of. I bet she will have higher numbers at the weekend!

Exactly.
Do you think she's gonna keep it for the rest of the era?

We already expected RCA not providing sufficient support for promotions, but I don't blame them... at least not fully.

Her image now is the opposite of what she wants to show with GL. If you look at the album cover and watch a recent performance, seems like a completely different moment in her career.

And she seems very excited to go on tour again, but I don't see that happening now... TBDTour was already weak and the album was selling very well.

She can change the game, but if she's not worrying about it, why should we?
