Neither 4 or Rated R are flops, and neither should've ever been called one -
especially 4. Her opening with 311K and barely dropping off from IA...SF's 1st week sales was impressive considering it was released 2 1/2 years later, put out during June and not November, and didn't have the backing of TWO hit singles.
The only legitimate high-profile pop flop eras of this decade so far are Bionic, Lotus, ARTPOP & Britney Jean. Although Lotus's performance wasn't that criticized overall, at least nothing compared to the criticism Bionic got even though it opened with higher numbers than Lotus.
Lotus had potential to go gold. There are definitely hits lying on the album. Just a Fool and Let There Be Love could've done a lot to help her get back on the Hot 100 radar. Christina just totally dropped the album after Your Body.
