Blackout was
NOT a flop. That word is used too much. I'd love to see someone call an album that has sold over 2 million worldwide a flop. Those are normal sales for this time in sales, stop living in 2003.
Anyways, yes Beyonce is at 3.3 million, and Britney 2.9 million. They are both doing great. Both have had successful singles, etc. Hopefully "Amy" will get
Circus back up on other country album charts.
As far as how "Halo" and "Amy" on iTunes, they are the 3rd singles coming after two HUGE hits. They aren't going to shoot to the top of iTunes. Especially with lots of new songs lately, and of course songs benefiting from play on Idol. For example, they both barely moved last week but "Amy" moved up 40% on digital charts. But promotion would do them a bit better.
