She would be #1 if it was based only on sales

Her streams are kinda pathetic, which isn't surprising since most of her fanbase is older.

50 Shades is going to benefit from weekend box office. I don't think Kelly has a shot.

Effect of a weak lead single that went nowhere. Will she even go platinum with this?

This isn't 1999 when 40 albums went platinum in a year. Remember that ONE album released in 2014 went platinum in the same year, ONE.

I think/hope she'll snag the #1. No way 50 Shades is still selling that much

Oh, it's you. Kelly's biggest stalker.

Okay, the reason for that is because you all dragging Kelly for her sales is kind of unproductive when Christina's sales as of late pale in comparison to Kelly's it's that simple, really. And it's great that Christina did well in the beginning, it really is. Kelly did too. But, as of late, Kelly has been flooring Christina in terms of sales, so no I don't understand why certain Christina fans (but not all) like yourself are laughing at a low first week number when Kelly has been performing much better than Christina as of late. Christina's last two studio efforts selling less than Kelly's Greatest Hits combined is enough evidence of that, don't bother putting those two albums next to Wrapped In Red.

You can hold onto the receipts of CA and Stipped as much as you want, but they're irrelevant to the discussion of recent success.

Please don't respond. I have no patience for your trolling.

Do you even know what a stalker is? Please give a valid, logical and supported reason on why Xtina stans can't talk about Kelly's low numbers. No one is clinging to anything, that was said just to exemplify how pathetic that mentality of "you can't shade K cause X sold less" actually is. We're entitled to comment on whatever the hell we want. And X's career being way bigger than Kelly's is a FACT whether you like or not. The fact that you all are clinging to the same excuses you laughed at before with X is just PRICELESS.

When adding WW numbers the difference isn't even big. Ironic, since you all consider X a flop and K a success.
But you do you.



Oh, and just to clarify. Kelly is a sweet person. We're just shady towards her because of her horrid stanbase.

Neither were as famous. I would've gone with CHARTDROP but it ended up moving 1.9M units WW. And your "twisting" just makes Kelly look more successful since her first "flop" is later in to her career. I don't think that was the point you were going for

"Stronger" was a huge single but it was on a different album (which it saved and took to 2M copies WW) that came out three years ago and has appeared on a greatest hits album since. Why would it help move units of this Piece By Piece?

She's sold over 25M albums WW and her biggest-selling album globally did like 15M and has amazing catalog sales. She launched singing competition shows (your fave and my fave both got their biggest hits this decade thanks to Kelly's impact) and those are the biggest regularly syndicated television shows from the United States to the United Kingdom to South Korea, etc. She launched Dr. Luke, the most successful new producer of this millennium globally, etc. I'm not seeing why her iconography would be limited to the United States

Maybe one day you can try it

Excuse after excuse to justify your pathetic "shade". Hmm, I was referring to Aguilera releasing 4 albums in the span of 11 years vs Clarkson's six in 13 years, aka Aguilera taking long ass breaks between albums. And Kelly's first flop was MD, 5 years into her career. How is 1 million in 2007 after an era like Breakaway not a flop? Even her stans claim it as a flop. ANYWAY, not surprised you didn't get it tho...



Once again, your reading comprehension skills shining through. Maybe cause that hit helped her to stay fresher in GP's mind? Or now you're gonna say that's not an advantage in comparison with someone without such hit?

Breakaway is at 11 million at best, it has 9.5 million certified already including every major and middle sized market. Care to share where it has sold the 5.5 million missing? African villages perhaps? Kinda meaningless when she's not even the most successful AI in the US, her only "strong" market.

RIGHT? Maybe one day I will get into the super talented Britney Spears.

[havefaithrestart]

I think Kelly will end up at #1, the promo will make the difference, but who knows.

I'm not her fan but these aren't tragic numbers, congrats

At least y'all got some performances

Don't forget that you can also buy another copy on Google Play

[chilicheese01]

Mark Ronson (RCA) 28-32k (3-5k sales)

I swear, this chart is so dumb.

Anyways, I hope Kelly gets the album. I know it isn't great, but she doesn't deserve to get blocked by that stupid soundtrack.

We'll do that once you tell us where My Kind Of Christmas sold 1.5 million outside the U.S. without charting anywhere else sans Japan at #78, South Africa at #29, and South Korea at #37.

Back to Basics: 346,000

A decline of 230,000 between one studio album

[Idontcareaboutyou]

Released in Q4 over 3 years ago. While this certainly isn't good, it's certainly not yet a disaster. It could become one if it falls down the chart like a rock though.

2011 to present is the same market.

Back to Basics - 2006

Bionic - 2010

is not the same market

Would y'all PLEASE take this Christina-Kelly shit to SYG?

[Jeiboy]

Please OVERPERFORM Kelly

and GO OVERBOARD Kellebrities!!!

[GiftFromGod]

Taylor HA Frontloadedness. Still top 5.

[Buddy!]

Mess, she should snag #1 because of the fact that she has higher pure-sales (and likely will at the end of the tracking week)

How much did it sell then Britney stan/Xtina hater? Enlighten us.

I just learned it's certified Gold (50K) in South Africa, all that with a #29 peak. Who would have thought?
1.2 million satisfies your inner obsessed Xtina hater? Your turn to answer about Breakaway.

I can't dedicate my life 24/7 to find sales for some popstar's albums, I have better things to do in life unlike others who spend their entire days obsessing about sales of humans not even aware of their existence. That's maybe a cute hobbie for someone without a job, someone that can't go to Uni, or a gay teenager who is unfortunately bullied at HS, idk. Sorry.

[joelovesmusic]

Come on KC you can do this!!!

Everyone go buy the album based on this GIF alone:

[Heartbeat Song]

Enough with the Kelly/Xtina argument in here. Everyone's sales have declined...


I have faith that KC will knock out another #1 debut.
