And the decrease in sales between Circus and FF was larger than the one on Brinty Joan.
What I mean is, she sold 650k by doing 10% of what she did for FF. BJ singles flopped but album sales, considering the little she did are actually ok. Many albums with long eras and many singles from other singers have sold less or the same as BJ.

Oh my god! Circus was very massive ,baby. She promoted in the USA, the UK, France, Germany, and Japan. The album is pretty good. The single choices were not disappointed. She had much bigger hyped. She looked amazing. The tour smashed everywhere. She had good presses. She moved/danced better. Of course, ff would never top that era.
Anyway, circus sold around 20M records. FF sold around 12M records. BJ sold 2.5M records. Now you tell me which one has the bigger decline? Which numbers are more tragic?
If ff numbers are more tragic than BJ number because BJ had only 10% of ff promos, then circus numbers are more tragic than ff number cos ff had only 10% of circus promos yet sold only 8M records less when BJ sold 10M records less than ff.
The silver lining with the FF era is that we got an extra 15.7m records in track sales to add to her career total, whether or not that translated into album sales is neither here nor there. Both albums have unimpressive sales, so you're basically arguing about which album underperformed less in retrospect.
