Christina Aguilera belted “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the Lakers took on the Celtics during Game 6 of the NBA Finals at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. The pop diva’s new album Bionic is expected to debut at No. 3 this week, selling around 115,000 copies.
Album sales are irrelevant these days…. If she is a flop everyone is…. You people calling her floptina are the one s who don’t even buy your favorite artist’s albums… Get outta here! I’m not even a stan.
and rihanna flopped harder opening week because sales in october-december are so much stronger than sales the rest of the year. if xtina can catch a “beautiful”-type ballad on radio, she’ll be fine. i don’t see “woohoo” doing anything, though.
you can’t expect anything less from xtina, just great… but honestly 115,000 is quite low for someone of her stature, but she’ll get through it
oh yeah @ Billy and the comment above me^^^^^^^
why is rihanna’s name even mentioned…^^^^^^ how is 181,000 harder flop than 115,000 (the season doesn’t matter) #justsayin
shes an amazing vocalist i use to be such a devoted fan of hers, but for me i have to question her artistry with her new album because it’s a perfect copy of what other artists did this year already or the years before that-very outdated music on Bionic, and the sales prove it
If Floptina released her album on the ssame day as Susan Boyle, GaGa, and Queen Rihanna, she would’ve flopped even harder! Single worthy tracks? LMAO! They will all flop!

Floptina went a lil overboard on some parts. But you can’t deny she has one of the best voices of our generation.

@WhatTheF,
If you think this album will struggle to go Gold, you obviously haven’t heard it. The CD has PLENTY of single-worthy tracks.
Rihanna’s “Rated R” didn’t debut with amazing 1st week sales either, but it’s been selling just fine with later singles.

OMG, why does she always scream? Is she a screamer or a singer?

I long for the day when someone just sing’s the national anthem, without out all the vocal acrobatic’s. Too much trill’s kill’s the melody.
