Here I Flop

I honestly don’t think 76K is that bad considering her promo and marketing was late AS FUCK and Motivation was only a major hit in the urban communities, it didn’t crossover into the Pop or international markets at all. However, I still expecting numbers around 100K-120K due to the fact that Motivation was such a huge hit, possibly the biggest Urban single of the year next to Look at Me Now. I am pretty sure Lay It on Me will increase her sales because that song has more crossover appeal than Motivation and she’s starting to promote the album now, so in time, her sales will increase. I hope she chooses her singles right. After Lay It on Me, it should be Feeling Me Right Now, All of the Night, Down for Whatever, I’m Dat Chick and finally Keep It Between Us

To enter the charts at #3, isn’t that bad at all. I mean, “third time’s a charm!”

BHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAAHHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHHHAAHHHAAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHHAAHAHA.poor kelly…just give it up ma.

I’m proud of Kelly. I wouldn’t say that it bombed at all. Hell, at least it’s not 37k and debuting at #44…. umm yeah. And what REALLY gets me is the shade that was thrown and then an advertisement for the album on iTunes… LMAO! I can’t!!

Are people surprised that Kelly Rowland’s album didn’t do that wel? I’m not. Her lack of proper promo, the lack of another single, and her lack if hits on the album, should have been dead giveaways that the album wasn’t going anywhere Instead of ‘Here I Am’, people clearly read ‘Leave Me Here’, because that is exactly what they did. I hope Destiny’s Child does a reuniojn tour and albu, for Kelly’s sake, or that girl will have to call it day. I would say she could go to acting, but we ALL know how ‘The Seat Filler’ and ‘Freddy vs. Jason’ went.

Do NOT compare sales and chart rankings over time. It tells you nothing. You can never really do it because the environment, circumstance, and the way sales are tracked and recorded shift over time.

Rule number one of good comparison is to compare like things. Here you are comparing apples and oranges. Sales are down across the board so it says absolutely nothing to say that she posted her lowest sales ever.

her label put a large amount of money into the first three singles commander, rcg, and forever and a day,(only one made the album) so i dont think her budget allowed her to promote as much.motivation did well on the R&B charts, but thats due mostly to heavy urban Radio play, not digital downloads. I hope she can put some of her own money from the x factor show into her album to help push it out.

When she appears on XFactor her numbers are going to get better. i lost interest in her and Ciara a while ago. I want them to succeed because they are underdogs though

@realkrisj

umm no…I don’t see how her appearing on X-Factor UK will affect her US album sales

As I said Kelly want to flop. Kelly is scared too be successful. I wonder who is number 1? Adele or Amy ?

How was there no promo?
I saw the damn album commercial everytime on vh1, mtv,bet.
Jay leno
Billboard
Bet awards
Every big time celebrity tweeted about her album
Every website had a Kelly Rowland banner and still do.
#1 rnb song.
Knock it off with she didn’t get no promo.
In my opinion she had the most momentum ever in her career prior to this album release and she flopped again.
This numbers are very bad. If people critiq her like they critic beyonce, her sales would be better. Everybody is trying to baby her. Lying to her she’s an underdog.
I don’t think X factor would help her.

i agree with JORDAN– u gonna advertise her cd and throw SHADE… how can her cd bomb with 1 week of sales. She is not expected to sell 100-200k units in one week like Beyonce on rep along. I think u should stop hatin . You throw no love her way when she’s damn near #1 on the r/b chart for 3 months. Kelly ‘s peep need to unlove you with her ad and just give u her ass to kiss

the album is ok. I won’t play it much, just a select few. its extremely pop, contemporary and club dance hit’ish. Not at all the r&b flavor I expected. I’m almost disappointed but I am happy for her nonetheless.
