But Glitter and Charmbracelet were this decade. Mimi and her Greatest Hits have been her only big albums since 2000.

 

As you said for Dido, it's possibly your favourite of her albums, I think that about Mariah's latest one. It might be because it's the first era Ive followed her in 'real time', so to speak, so I've listened to it more - rather than just downloading an old album as hearing it once or twice - but it's my favourite from her I think.

 

Bad single choices, along with Mariah getting married and therefore doing little promo let this era down. In retrospect, 'Touch My Body' wasn't such a hot lead single either. It's a nice fun song but you can't lead an album with a jokey single as it doesn't help the album. see also: Sugababes.

Too true. The greatest hits didnt even do that well either though tbh! Mimi was the comeback though obv and was absolutely huggeeee.

 

She is apparently pregnant now :lol: And she has now scrapped the planned tour. Whether or not this is because she is pregnant, I dunno, but pregnant or not she aint touring :(

 

'Touch My Body' was genius. Such a pisstake <3

I dont think Sugababes have done as people are making out. The album didn't do too great, but Girls, besides this forums dislike for it, did quite well in my opinion.

'Girls' did do well but by their own standards (And even the girls admit this!) then 'Catfights And Spotlights' has been a bit of a disaster - Both sales and chart run have been awful so far :cry:

I actually find it HILARIOUS that you mention Madonna in the context of long runners in the top ten. Hung Up was her first one to spend longer than 9 weeks in the top ten...

Oh, how impressive :rolleyes: Another three weeks on top - when Britney still hasn't finished her top ten run yet. You really do need to get over your obsessive Britney hatred and get your facts right...

 

ilu <3

 

 

Another flop this year has been Travis - Their album reached #20 and spent 2 weeks in the charts and to think a few years ago they were huge!

 

ever since 12memories back in 2003 Travis have been selling less and less with each album... Though it must be said the album had no promotion whats so ever!! I think they are just in it for the joy of making music now,, they dont seem to care about selling much records.

 

Charmbracelet sold 120,000 copies+ peaking at #52 i think.. Glitter sold 60,000 copies, TEOM sold 620,000+ GReatest Hits sold 750,000, EMC² sopld 120,000 and The Ballads sold 110,000 (so far)

:(! I wanted to see her this time. She's blatantly pregnant then, good for her. ^_^ I just hope this wasn't the last album then, she'll probably be 40 by the time she's ready to make another album.

 

I do love 'Touch My Body' but (for the eleventybillionth time) 'Migrate' should have been lead with that second or something. :(

That's just sad. People would rather buy an album from her old label with nothing new (or even anything from the last 7 years) to offer over a completely new Mariah album. :(

Craig David and Lemar are 2 other acts that underperformed this year.

And it peaked at #16 or something :lol:

Sugababes, Dido, Madge, Anastacia.

 

 

Dido the most though considering she hadnt brought anything out in ages.

I wouldn't say Madonna flopped. Her latest single did, but on the whole this year has been pretty good for her. Same for Kylie. She's had 2 top 10 hits and a pretty respectable (i think, given the circumstances) #36.

 

The biggest flop this year, for me, is The Feeling. The album was rubbush compared to 12S&H, and they chose the worst 2nd single possible. They didn't really help themselves.

 

Christinas comeback wasn't great, but it was only a GH. We knew from the start she wasn't going to be promoting and she still had a top 10 album and top 20 d/l only single. Not too bad considering!

 

Sugababes. Their WORST SINGLE EVER!!! followed by their 2nd WORST SINGLE EVER!!!... It's a shame because the album is actually pretty good. Just a shame they are releaseing the c**p songs first.

 

Mariah too. I honestly don't think there is much of a place for her in the UK market anymore. She tends to do much better in America. Maybe she should focus her output there... (I should point out that i do love E=MC2, but again, like many other acts this year, all the wrong singles were released! What the hell were they thinking not releaseing Migrate!?!?)

 

One final word... Dido :lol:
