Is it a flop ???? In this day and age...the fact that she's still in the Top 5 in the second week is good. That is a might drop though. If they work the single 'Rock With U' right and keep her in the public...she should be fine. Every minute of last night is on my face today.... | |

After 2 weeks too early to call anything a flop .
If she doesnt get another radio hit though this one will struggle to hit 500,000 | |

Hmm, why don't you mention that Michael is right behind her with Triller 25, in it's fourth weeek, having a 20 % sales increase!
Yep, it climbed 5 spots and might even be ahead of Janet on the Billboard Comprehensive Charts, as it only has sold 2572 albums less! 9 4 MICHAEL JACKSON LEGACY 49,181 +20% THRILLER - 25TH ANNIVERSARY ED. | |

It is simple. The media loves calling anything Michael does a flop, and when he is on top, they just shut up. They don't want to eat their own words - so they just ignore his successes and then later label them a flop. As much as I hated Invincible, for 2001, it had pretty strong sales. MJ Fan 1992-Forever

Hmm, when the 25 year old album of said artist's older brother almost outsells the brandnew album in it's second week, then that question is almost answered... isn't it? 
I do hope Janet's album will pick up though! I want her to be successful! Vanilli said: It is simple. The media loves calling anything Michael does a flop, and when he is on top, they just shut up.

Yeah, it's always the same! I'm not crazy about that Thriller 25 album, but if anything, it shows that there is still a market out there for him... people still want to hear and buy his music... even if he doesn't lift a finger to promote it! This is a big F-U to all the people, who say that no one wants to hear him anymore and that his career is over! | |

I do hope Janet's album will pick up though! I want her to be successful! I like your first sentence here. I hate the second one. Lip-synching muppets do not deserve success. If you want to wish someone success, wish it to the talented artists who get totally overlooked in favour of vacuous non-entities like Ms WACKson.

Not really. It just proves there's a big nostalgia market out there, but we knew that already.

I love Janet and this CD but based on this drop and frankly the first week (come on people...I know sales dipped but come on!), this isn't the hit she needed and that Island expected yet. She really needs big singles that stay on the charts in order to boost the albums. Maybe just one big one. "Feedback" is great but "Rock With U" needs to kill....it could but is radio playing it? Seems like she is getting so much love for "Luv" on R&B radio but pop radio doesn't care about her newest single(s). | |

first of all I don't care if janet sells... she said herself it doesnt matter... but i would NOT wish failure.. LIKE THAT KRAZY PERSON.. anyways... she hasn't done enough promotion... just promoting your album the week it comes out is NOT enough... she could have done more.. but oh well.. |

what is considered a flop today? | |

The album isn't doing very well.If these sales figures were for another artist,y'all would be calling it a flop.Let's face it folks,this isn't the big "comeback" that Janet and her record label were looking for.If the first two weeks are any indication,she's gonna have a hard time just reaching gold status in the States.'Damita Jo' and '20 Y/O' were considered flops,but at least those albums sold a decent number of copies during their first two weeks.This album sold less than 200,000 during its first week.
Janet should get her ass out there and tour.That's where the real money is,anyway.It's obvious that she's not gonna make alot of money from her CD sales anymore. | |

Yeah,it looks like this album isn't gonna be a big seller for her.Does anyone know...how is the album doing internationally? | |

If they work the single 'Rock With U' right and keep her in the public...she should be fine. A 71% sales drop is pretty bad.Even with illegal downloading,a new Janet CD should sell at least 300,000 in its first week.It should be on its way to gold status by now. | |

So is this the reason for the "Flu"?
drop out of sight? just say fuck it? I mean I'm not a janet fan these days, i did like her early stuff, but this seems odd. Lord if madonna is giving JT shots of B12 in the ass, Id think that janet could get the some better drugs.

Im kidding, but Madonna should have frequent heavy flow days 'like a first day period' she's at the stage now? I wonder if they will embrace their menopause through lyrics when they go through it. hhmmmm | |
