At the time it unjustly had the biggest drop from #1 ever didn't it and I think it also had the lowest weekly sales of the 21st century for a #1 debut at the time of release as well🤣!

In 2025 those sales and that week 2 for an artist on their 4th main era 10+ years into their career it wouldn't look too shabby!

Promotion (or lack of) is what completely led to the album just not recovering though (but unfortunately with Xtina outside the US her last three eras all had the same fate of lack of actual knowledge across the GP there was an album out). I don't know the full details but there was rumours / hearsay on the album we got not being the original album and the release date was pushed back by quite a while too! Then obviously the tour was shelved and she moved onto Burlesque very quickly which after 4 years without a studio album felt like the era was just abandoned after the reception / sales.

There's so many highlights on this album for me though and I really do feel parts of it actually are ahead of it's time! I always commend Xtina because from her debut to Stripped to Back to Basics to Bionic she always completely revitalised her image and sound and in that aspect I don't think she was credited enough.
