Posted May 25, 200619 yr What Greatest Hits albums have flopped in the charts which should have done better?.
May 25, 200619 yr Well Micheal Jackson last GH did'nt do as well as his others, but to be fair he has had about 15 or 20 of them. :lol:
May 25, 200619 yr Didn't Michael Jackson do a "retrospective" just after his court case which rather spectacularly stiffed....? :lol: :lol: :lol: (please tell me it happened and it wasn't just my mind playing tricks.....) Oh, and didn't Gary Glitter do something that went tits up as well round about the time of his *ahem* problems......?
May 25, 200619 yr Anastacia's flopped big time in comparison to her studio albums. -_- I would say Mariah Careys, but since the re-release both #1's and The Greatest Hits have went Double Platinum in the UK. :P Destiny's Child - #1's - Sort of a flop. S Club 7 - Best - Not sure, but it wasn't on the chart long. Alanis Morissette - The Collection Brandy - The Best Of Brandy All good albums. :(

The Essential Michael Jackson - including hits from the Jackson 5 etc as well. ;) #2 in the UK but dropped rather quickly. -_-
May 25, 200619 yr Alanis' as Kelly pointed out. Savage Garden and Bryan Adams' also released collectons recently which didn't set the world alight.
May 25, 200619 yr S Club 7 and Destiny's Child sprang to mind but they've already been mentioned. Five and Atomic Kitten both failed to meet expectations with their compilations.
May 25, 200619 yr Alanis' as Kelly pointed out. Savage Garden and Bryan Adams' also released collectons recently which didn't set the world alight. Savage Garden only had two albums - which both sold very well- so that was not a huge surprise. They hadn't had a hit in years too.
May 25, 200619 yr Yes, Alanis has flopped real badly... But then, Abba´s GH also debuted somewhere between # 50 and #70 on USA charts, but it spent years selling well on catalog that it´s near 7 million copies sold... Destiny´s Child´s GH completely bombed, but I don´t think it ever deserved to do well. Britney´s GH sold OK, but poor compared to her studio ones, mind you that in USA it still far from the first week sales of Oops album. The Michael Jackson case wasn´t really a flop, as it wasn´t a proper main album, it didn´t have promotion, it was just one of this generical compilations that have songs that are already included in some 20 GH albums... I consider buying it someday, as it has some great songs on it. On the other hand, Robbie´s GH has sold more then 6 million copies ww, considering it still sells (charted this week in Uk and many other european countries...), with the years catalog it might become his biggest selling album and pass the 10 million mark...
May 25, 200619 yr Atomic Kitten's didnt do that well no :( Also anyone remember Misteeq's greatest hits? LMAO :rofl:
May 25, 200619 yr Britney´s GH sold OK, but poor compared to her studio ones, mind you that in USA it still far from the first week sales of Oops album. I remember Britney's GH getting kept off the No 1 slot by PINK FLOYD's best of... no less...... :lol: :lol: :lol:
May 25, 200619 yr Im not sure about Shakira's, I think ti sold about 2 million, count that as a flop if you wish
May 25, 200619 yr Also anyone remember Misteeq's greatest hits? LMAO :rofl: probably because a) misteeq had split up about 2 years previous or something like that. B) the record company that had licenced their recordings from the copyright holder was a tv advertisement compilation label that very foolishly thought it could take on the big boys by signing victoria beckham. it came out on universal tv not telstar you see.
May 25, 200619 yr Alanis Morissette - The Collection well most have commented on the fact that all her albums were c**p apart from the first adult album (not including the acoustic version that came out about 2 months or so prior to this collection) Brandy - The Best Of Brandy wasnt that a case of act already been sacked, lets try claw some cash back?
May 25, 200619 yr well most have commented on the fact that all her albums were c**p apart from the first adult album (not including the acoustic version that came out about 2 months or so prior to this collection) Except such rumours were bull$h!t.
May 25, 200619 yr Author Bjork's GH album made the top 60 here. It's a shame cause it has great songs on there.
May 25, 200619 yr I remember Britney's GH getting kept off the No 1 slot by PINK FLOYD's best of... no less...... :lol: :lol: :lol: No, it was kept off # 1 by Eminem in UK, but Eminem´s album was released on a Friday, so only 3 days counted, as Britney was released on Monday, as usual... In the USA it was # 4 and fell very quickly.
May 25, 200619 yr Im not sure about Shakira's, I think ti sold about 2 million, count that as a flop if you wish But it only featured her spanish hits, from the era were she was unknown outside Latin America, so it wasn´t a flop properly.
May 25, 200619 yr well most have commented on the fact that all her albums were c**p apart from the first adult album (not including the acoustic version that came out about 2 months or so prior to this collection) wasnt that a case of act already been sacked, lets try claw some cash back? Yeah it was a case of that with Brandy, but it was promoted with a lead single. ;) I disagree about Alanis, some of her albums have been complete pop GOLD. :wub:
