[reece(:]

Glad it's a meaty album :)

[Jordan.]

Why is she waiting so long to release her first single here? she's gonna end up flopping.

[Shaun]

probably the only time she could schedule to appear on TXF here or something :laugh:

[Me. I Am Salman]

What's with the features only being with The Voice judges?

[Shaun]

I wish this had got some form of an official release :(

amaaaaaazing :love:

[Saph]

^ thats a great song :love:

I hope this new album is a mixture of Stripped/BTB/Bionic with a dash of Burlesque

[Saph]

uh oh.. Lotus is set to debut with sales of 75-80k, thats less than Bionic which sold 110k :shocked:

One Direction are set to get #1 album with sales of over 500k

still, nothing will be worse than Nelly Furtados 6k for TSI

[Smithy]

She's managed to make Bionic looks like a hit http://gagadaily.com/public/style_emoticons/default/uhoh.gif

[Saph]

http://gagadaily.com/public/style_emoticons/default/uhoh.gif <-- what is this? :s

[Doogle]

Lotus is perfect though

[Smithy]

http://gagadaily.com/public/style_emoticons/default/uhoh.gif <-- what is this? :s

Oh dear

[Saph]

Oh dear

ooh its showing up now

[Doogle]

Shut Up and Circles are so try hard, it's like when you have a cool grandma who uses Facebook or something and is down with the kids

But they're so good

[Harry!]

Number 18 on the UK chart update - guess that what you get with NO PROMO! Good Christmas idea gift. Still need a listen to it.

This album is flopping harder than Bionic. Poor Christina. Not even being on one of America's most watched shows 2 nights a week was enough to help her.

[BBfanUSA]

Maybe they should release Blank Page as a single...It's brilliant

[Doogle]

She should release Shut Up and Circles since she's already flopping and it'd just be funny because of the controversy.

[Smithy]

Maybe they should release Blank Page as a single...It's brilliant

It's boring, it'd flop worse than your body

[Doogle]

It's boring, it'd flop worse than your body

Out of context this sounds hilarious

[MeMyselfAndI]

floptina

[Jake.]

Shame, she has such an amazing voice, yet she gets overshadowed nowadays! Hope it grows!

[Jordan.]

Atleast it's flopped BEFORE any promo she could still peak higher if she does some for the next single (should be Let There Be Love or Make The World Move)

[Smithy]

it's make the world move, she performed it on the voice, but it's still only at #122 on iTunes

[Marc]

I blame her flop on her getting all dirty and fat (pregnant lul) and the herpes

[Saph]

She did an interview recently on why she thinks Bionic flopped (because she didn't think people were ready for it) so god knows what shes gonna say about this one D;

[Saph]

2nd single from the album is Just A Fool (ft. Blake Shelton)

[BBfanUSA]

Still think the second single should be Blank Page, was written by Sia and I think she provides backup in the song. It really shows off Xtina's voice.

But choosing to do it with Blake (Who's a Voice Coach, it's not random) is a great idea, he recently got Entertainer of the Year (Equivalent of the Singer of the year or album of the year) at the Country Music Awards.

[Vladimir]

2nd single from the album is Just A Fool (ft. Blake Shelton)

so glad, it's my fave on the album. :love:

[MeMyselfAndI]

Any of you have a link for the album so I can download it. (A link that will make it able to go in Windows Media Player)

[MeMyselfAndI]

PS. A link where I don't have to download multiple other things 50 times, and the link over 5 times & then it not working

[MeMyselfAndI]

I like this album, I like: Red Hot Kinda Love, Make The World Move, Let There Be Love, Blank Page & Just A Fool the most.

[Jordan.]

2nd single from the album is Just A Fool (ft. Blake Shelton)

...hopefully just in the US

I think Make The World Move would be the best choice next here since radio might actually pick it up thanks to the Cee Lo feature.

[Jordan.]

And they should perform on our version of The Voice

[Harry!]

#28 in the UK. Defo a flop.

[Niall]

This is terrible because it's actually a decent album. :bored:

[Doogle]

Just A Fool is a really good idea because it'll get picked up on different genre radios meaning more airplay meaning a higher chart position but that means **** all to everywhere except the USA so she should just release Make The World Move and smash

[Shaun]

christ

[MeMyselfAndI]

Wow, even 'Bionic' got #1 here

[Saph]

I guess people just aren't feeling Christina anymore :/

[Iceman]

She takes the title of flopstar of the year from leona.....

:shocked: She's blown up like a balloon I just

But fat Christina is better than a super skinny Christina tbh

[Saph]

she looks a mess imo ..cheap tan, bad wig, ugly dress, abnormally large bum :suspect:

[Me. I Am Salman]

People are saying she snuck Cee Lo to the awards in the back of her dress :joker:

[Saph]

:p

[Smithy]

Is she pregnant? :s

No :joker::joker::joker:

[Doogle]

Anything Adele can do Christina can do better

/deluded stan

[reece(:]

instead of flopped you should've put wilted.

[Saph]

Though a stellar album, the lack of live performances to push it have raised many an eyebrow, as too have the lack of magazine covers, radio interviews and other promo vehicles. All factors which contribute to the project’s first week sales.

According to the ever-reliable Hits Daily Double, ‘Lotus’ will open at #7 on the Billboard 200 with sales of…

73,408

There’s little spin that can take away from the fact that the figure represents the lowest debut numbers from Xtina’s solid-selling catalogue. Indeed, the figure is even trounced by the 110,000 opening of 2010′s criminally underrated ‘Bionic’ album.

Still, what the latter didn’t have was a hit – something ‘Lotus’ seems to be strutting towards with its second offering ‘Just A Fool (ft. Blake Shelton)’. For, having already shown its potential on iTunes upon initial release of the album, the song rocketed into the top 20 of the digital tally again last night following Christina and Blake’s live showing on The Voice. ‘Lotus’ climbed two spots to #14 too following the performance too.

While everyone loves a great comeback story, the reality is that it often takes time to rebuild a brand. Indeed, one needn’t look further than Aguilera’s rival and apt comparator Mariah Carey.

Like ‘Bionic’, 2001′s ‘Glitter’ was certified Triple Tin Foil, while 2002′s intended “comeback” ‘Charmbracelet’ didn’t fare much better. It wasn’t until 2005′s ‘Emancipation Of Mimi’ that Mariah’s commercial viability was restored.

Looking at Christina’s current predicament, we see a similar “slowly, but surely” climb. What we are sure of, though, is that she will have her “moment” again – be it this “era”, next, or somewhere down the line. Gifts like hers are too rare a find.

Keeps Getting Better must have jinxed her success :p

[Niall]

Hopefully she'll release Let There Be Love (seeing as it's the obvious single) and promote it like there's no tomorrow. Maybe that'll give her better sales. :D

[Saph]

hopefully

seen as shes not on the Voice anymore, she has no excuse to not get in the studio and make an amazing new album for late 2013 early 2014. Another 'Stripped' please christina D;

[Saph]

oh wait yeah she does ..lotus :/

well maybe late 2014/early 2015 instead ;)

[Smithy]

Fallen to #102 this week in the UK on todays midweek update

She'll probably be back for S5 which is expected to be next fall more than likely.

She and Blake sang Just A Fool on The Voice US. It's a good song and the song made a blip on the iTunes US overall chart. Wasn't number one but it was high

[MeMyselfAndI]

Yay Glasshearts beating it:D
