Obviously it wasn't as big as it could have been, and she made some questionable decisions but overall it has been successful, just not 'astronomically' like some of us predicted in 2010.

But the thing is, compare this era to other artists at the moment, she's blowing people out of the water. If Adele wasn't around, she would have the highest-selling album of the year and people would be like, "OMG, SHE'S SLAYING EVERYONE." Most people have this "single sales are all that matter" mentality and that makes them think that the era's not doing well when it is. BTW has already outsold TF (w/o rerelease) and is on its way to outsell TFM alone. Her album sales are amazingly consistent.
