Damn, he flopped really badly. Especially, since he's been promoting this album for about a good month now. He's been everywhere promoting this record.

Lil Wayne re-claimed the top of the Hip Hop charts, after three weeks of J. Cole's tenure. Additionally, Murs' first album with Dame Dash's Blu Roc Records squeezed onto the charts, as this week's key addition.
Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV fell three spots to #9, as the only Hip Hop/Rap album in the Top 10. The platinum works features the likes of Tech N9ne, Andre 3000 and Nas, as the top-selling 2011 Hip Hop/Rap release. Wayne's artist, Nicki Minaj climbed eight spots last week with her solo debut, Pink Friday.
Cole World: The Sideline Story by J. Cole sold over 30,000 third-week units. Backed by Sony Records, Jay-Z's Roc Nation flagship fell six spots to #11. Largely self-produced, the Fayetteville, North Carolina native's album featured Drake and Missy Elliott, in addition to Jay.
Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch The Throne maintained the #13 spot. The Roc-A-Fella alumni's first collaborative album features production contributions from 88-Keys, RZA and Lex Luger.*
Jay's wife Beyonce and her 4 fell four spots to #23. The pregnant Pop/R&B superstar's fourth solo offering features an appearance by Outkast's Andre 3000, along with production from Kanye West and his production team - including Jeff Bhasker, as well as a writing credit to former G.O.O.D. Music artist Consequence.
Dance/Pop/Rap group LMFAO's sophomore album, Sorry For Party Rocking is headed towards 200,000 units sold. The Interscope Records group, co-founded by the iconic Motown Records' Barry Gordy's grandson, worked with will.i.am and Busta Rhymes on their latest album, which charted at #30.

Former Athletic Mic League deejay-turned-Soul singer Mayer Hawthorne's sophomore album, How Do You Do crossed the 15,000 benchmark on the charts. The Stones Throw Records artist, now backed by major label Universal Republic, worked with Snoop Dogg on his second go-round.
Compton, California's Game is closing in on 200,000 units with his R.E.D. Album. The Aftermath/Interscope Records star maintained a Top 100 spot of his fourth solo works. This album features Tyler, The Creator, Kendrick Lamar and Rick Ross.

Maybe. The first volume wasn't really promoted commercially, and was released during a time Britney wasn't really out musically/inbetween pregnancies. Plus of course, the sales difference of 2005 and 2011.
