Her first week sales throughout her career have shown this time and time again. Sorry, might be harsh but the tea's true.

She's more 'out there' than she has been during the Unapologetic era.

right? 'NO PROMO!!11"
"Because she's not trying to have success unlike Gaga"
Does the Navy actually believe these lies? Who does not want success with their 'timeless' music?

Britney has been flopping ever since In The Zone ended, not just 2013
Blackout was the lowest-selling pop girl album of its time, selling way less than half of most of her peers at the time (Nelly, Xtina, Bey, JT, Pink, Avril, etc)
Same with Femme Fatale selling less than half of any of the other popstar albums at the time (Loud, Teenage Dream, 4, BTW, P!nk, etc)
Amd Britney Jean also sold less than a third of all the other popstar albums of the same time

A Katy Stan saying that no one cares about Rihanna. You seem to forget that Rihanna was also considered for the Superbowl along with your fave, and she would have gotten it had she not told CBS to **** off. Not to mention that the only parts of her performance that was remembered have nothing to do with Katy herself.
Not to mention that Rihanna was basically the driving force behind the success of HOME.
NOT to mention her ICON award.
Nonfactor my ass.

Rihanna is almost intentionally flopping.

Plus the music is incredibly bad.

No Britney never really flopped till BJ
And Rihanna is not trying it for success at all
Anyway both found success in their first 7th eras, everything else afterwards is an extra, plus there are a few artists out there that flop in their 3rd era you know...

First of all she's not flopping. FourFiveSeconds is still a huge worldwide hit. Bitch Better Have My Money is a decent hit. It's doing even better than I expected when I first heard the song.
American Oxygen is a flop. But that's because the song sucks and this is a very messy start of an era.
Let's just wait until the album. I'm sure it won't do ''worse'' than her other ''flop'' album Rated R. Snippets of songs like 'Higher' got me really excited and I can't wait for the album.

The question is.. "Her flopping is such a non event".. Did y'all want us to have meltdowns?? Sorry, not happening. If y'all want to make it an event by all means find better ways to Drag her.

Why are some telling that the material has been experimental? It ain't.
I would have loved if she took risks, but she didn't take any.

Because:
1. She's not flopping that hard. FourFiveSeconds was a big hit. Bitch Better Have My Money is doing well so far.
2. She flops all the time. She'll have a flop then a #1 then another flop. It's nothing to panic about.

Riddle me this, why are you dedicating a whole post to Britney in a thread that literally has nothing to do with her? I'm honestly puzzled.
________________________________________________
OT: Because the Navy stans for quality not success. Also, I wouldn't even say she's flopping considering how big FourFiveSeconds is.

Cuz only pressed haters see the flop. There's no flop given the circumstances and you'll know that.

Rih doesn't care if she's flopping so why should we?
If she was doing a lot promo like Gaga with artpop and flopping then I would be melting down

And? It wasn't even put onto iTunes until a few weeks later. The video was released to TIDAL before the actual single had come out. That March Madness was basically useless.

THIS and all other threads like it are a JOKE.... I guarantee you this is going just as Rih and team have planned and there is a lot more great work to be revealed this year. The haters wanna jump on her because of her consistency and hoping it ends now, but you KNOW that isn't going to happen. When the album drops, the year ends, and all is said and done, you KNOW that this is gonna be a hit record and you KNOW that Rih is gonna remain at the top once again. I'm a stan, but if i thought she was flopping or gonna flop I would just admit it, it doesn't mean that much to me, but whether i loved FFS or not it was a HIT and everyone wants to ignore that. I'm sure there are many more singles to come and ya'll just wanna jump on this hating ass bandwagon cuz she's been on top for so long. Kneel down haters, I've had enough of this filth.
