Jennifer Lopez experienced a career resurgence on the US charts since accepting her now former judging role on ‘American Idol’ but that success has been proven to be limited to the Billboard Hot 100. Indeed, similar to her ‘Love?’ album, the diva’s ‘Dance Again: The Hits’ has flopped.
‘Dance Again: The Hits’ has entered the Billboard 200 at #20 this week with lowly sales of 13K copies. The record, which was cross-promoted with the heavily plugged ‘Step Up Revolution’ movie, was preceded by the title track lead single as well as its followup, ‘Goin’ In (Ft. Flo Rida)’.
As proof of her new status as a singles act, the title track has grossly outperformed ‘Dance Again: The Hits’ by selling over 954K downloads in just 17 weeks. To date, the song has peaked at #17 on the Hot 100. So, what does the future hold for Lopez? Well, without a slot on ‘Idol’, she might be returning to the block.
