Move over Adele because there is another full-figured diva ready to launch an assault on the charts. Billboard has announced that Christina Aguilera will release her highly anticipated comeback single before the end of the summer!
Produced by Max Martin, who also crafted several of Katy Perry’s #1 singles (‘Part of Me’, ‘Teenage Dream’), Aguilera’s new club-banger single will debut in August. Subsequently, her new album, which will include duets with Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green, will arrive in the fall.
Aguilera’s previous album, ‘Bionic’, has sold a lowly 308K copies since June 2010 whereas her ‘Burlesque’ movie soundtrack yielded 593K units in sales since its November 2010. Neither set produced a top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
———————————————————————-
Although it would have been better to hear Aguilera flex her vocals on midtempo ballad that similar to Adele’s ‘Rolling in the Deep’ or a spicy tune similar to ‘Rumour Has It’, a radio-friendly club song might be exactly what she needs to reposition herself higher on the charts. However, the arrangement needs to be ideal.
‘Not Myself Tonight’ lacked a discernable hook and it was difficult for simple-minded music fans to follow. Great productions and vocals can only go so far in today’s Pop market so Aguilera needs to carefully plan for every possible setback. Simply, her music, promotion and image need to be on point. Please, no more sex shows in her music videos, especially at her current size.
YASSS THE QUEEN
FLOOOOOOOP! …again.
ROTFLMMFAO
I hope that she brings it with this single. She has no room for failure.
…. i cant take her blond hair! it’s soooo tacky!! Can we get her a dark shade of Clairol please!!
Ok Trent I don’t know why you’re using a 2 yr old picture of Christina when in fact she has slimmed down quite a bit over the past few months. second, that Adele comment was jusr ridiculous because Christina is smaller than adele. Third, Idk why youd recommend Christina do more songs like rolling in the deepor rumour has it because we all remember what happened with Bionic and all those damn Gaga comparisons and if Christina took that route then shed have to put up with people accusing her of jacking Adeles style. You’re just a hater.
LEGENDTINA IS BACK… MY BODY’S READY!
TRENT seems a lil mad or shaken, how is she even close to “full figured”? Maiah’s closer than her
Christina has lost touch with her “STRIPPED” audience. loving me 4 me was a classic, Soar was a classic, BEAUTIFUL was a classic….this 1940′s mess she’s doing and the Bionic mess….just about killed the love any of her fans had for her……top off her bad attitude and that fact that she looks like a drag queen….and i’m sorry to say…..her raspy voice…and bad styling and bad attitude may have sealed her fate.
Pl
BTW…Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston are LEGENDS. Mariah Carey is still doing concerts all over the world, sold 200 million cds, the biggest two selling singles in the WORLD (We belong together and One Sweet Day). NEVER ever mention Mariah Carey and her ICON status…..which a singer (ms. aguilera) who has NOT sold even 50 million records. i just GAGGED.
LOFL @ The pressed mariah stan, please, nobodies checkin for Mariah. Christina’s voice today slaughters MC effortlessly
Oh and Mariah lost her sound and audience when she went only for R&B (which is why the pop charts treat her like she dont exist now) but didnt know that R&B and hip hop charts arent checkin for her either. And not to mention out of nowhere having the image of a bimbo. Meanwhile Christina has changed her sound and image tons of time, and has not let her music suffer for it
@Terrence, Well in the past decade Mariah has had 7 top ten hits with 4 of then being #1s. XXXLTina has only had 5 top ten hit, with 2 being #1s (and you can thank the Moulin Rouge collabo for 1 of those) So let’s see, who’s not being checked for on Billboard again? At least Memoirs is gold. Bionic is still sitting somewhere over 300k. XXXLTina hosts a talent show for goodness sake. Her career is over. She’s been a joke for sometime now from her jail visit, to that national anthem, to her weight, to her bloody legs. She’ll be out of that job soon because Britney and X-Factor are about to put The Voice off air. But that’s no surprise seeing that she has ALWAYS been in Britney’s shadow. Always second best since Mickey Mouse club. She’ll NEVER be a legend like Mariah or Whitney because her fire burned out in 2005 with Back To Basics. Mariah’s been here for over 20 years and ain’t going anywhere. Christina barely made it through a decade before people stopped caring. She been on a decline sing Back to Basics. Mariah will always be SUPERIOR.
@Agent_Mariah take a seat, we all know Mariah is a legend but her RECENT output has been much worse than Xtina’s… Mariah’s last 3 albums have flopped, Xtina has ONE flop… and you all love to talk abut Bionic being at 300k but “Burlesque” soundtrack came out after and has gone gold and sold over 600k…
Mariah too tbh, just stating facts.
Also Mariah promoted ALL her last 3 flop albums WAY more than Xtina promoted Bionic.
Waiting for Xtina to come back hard
@ agent mariah
For somebody who claims that nobody is checking for christina, you sure do know a lot about Christinas success. I love mariah but her last big hit was touch my body, over 4 yrs ago, Christinas was last year. Last time i checked, the hype and anticipation for christinas comeback is bigger than mariahs. Mariah has sold more albums because shes been out over 20 years and has more albums you twat.
@ThatBoyLuke, Hey boo! lol
@Christinastherealtalent Christina’s last hit was “Lady Marmalade” which was almost a decade ago. I’m not here for “Moves Like Jagger.” She only sang for about 20 seconds. That is NOT her song. But hey “Lady Marmalade” was not her song either. Is the only way she can get a #1 by having to use other artist because the people are bored with her? Mariah doesn’t need help from another artist to get a #1. Mimi had four #1s in the last decade. Christina, only one and it was a 4 artist collabo. Mariah’s last top 10 was Obsessed in 2009. Xtina couldn’t even get the first single from Bionic pass #23. Because truth be told, nobody wants to see a fat, spongebob shaped mom dance around in a leotard trying to fit in with the like of artist like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, or Rihanna. That’s why Bionic flopped because the public saw that the image that Xtina was trying hard to pull off was just not her. Mariah will never alter her music to fit in with what is hot. Either you’re going to buy it or not. I’ve NOT heard one person that wasn’t a XXLTina stan anticipating her album tbqh.
P.S. I’m so tired of the promotion excuses. XXLTina is NOT a new artist that needs to be introduced to the world. If anybody wanted her album then they would have brought it. Or at least more than 300k. It is what it is and it ain’t what it ain’t. lol
Adele don’t need to move over. I would love to here Christina and Adele on the radio airwaves at the same time. I think they would remind those basic singer on how is singing should be like.
Agent
You’re so fucking retarded. Stfu already. Christinas had plenty of hits since Lady. And a song doesnt have to be #1 to be considered a hit you douche. Beautiful, Foghter

You’re so fucking retarded. Stfu already. Christinas had plenty of hits since Lady. And a song doesnt have to be #1 to be considered a hit you douche. Beautiful, Fighter, can’t hold us down, the voice within, aint no other man, hurt, candyman, keeps gettin better, not myself tonight, moves like jagger.
@Christinastherealtalent Girl STFU, I don’t care what you have to say. You don’t matter just like XXXLTina. Go watch the voice. Like Mariahs hasn’t had countless hits in the past decade either. Thank God I Found You, Loverboy, It’s Like That, We Belong Together, Shake It Off, Don’t Forget About Us, Touch My Body, Bye Bye, Obsessed. All top 20s. Mariah still shits on Fatty any way you spin it.
tehehehehe
@ agent
Obviously you do if you keep responding to my comments you stupid fucker. Apparently Christina matters enough to you to be checking out posts about her and for somebody who claims to not give a shit about her or be checking for her you sure know a lot about her career
@Christinastherealtalent, I always get the last word. Now like I said go watch The Voice while it’s still there because Britney is about to shit on her over all the X-Factor like she’s did her whole career. STAY MAD. tehehehehehe
Follow me on twitter everyone @Agent_Mariah. Muah.
@Agent Mariah… I hate to drag you BUT you need to stop being pressed over Xtina and talking about the Voice is a joke because Mariah was desperate to be on XFactor until they threw the huge cheque Britney’s way instead and now she’s shading it lmaooooo
“Moves like Jagger” is Maroon 5 AND Xtina’s song (check the BB rules) and she’s had pleanty of hits since Lady Marmalade (which she had the best part of) all over the world, a song doesn’t have to be No1 to be a hit and she’s had more No1′s since then in other countries.
How is promotion an excuse??? Nobody sells on their name alone anymore, if that’s the case why is mariah scraping Gold when she’s the 2nd biggest selling female ever???
@ThatBoyLuke, Drag me? lol. NEVER. Mariah was never desperate to be on the X-Factor. Simon Cowell wanted her but after she kept making scheduling excuses because she didn’t want to hurt his feeling he gave up and moved on. Yeah MLJ might be her son according to BB but I’m should you guys really brag about her needing other artist to get any attention. Yeah Mariah may be struggling to go gold but she’s also been here for over 20 years and have sold over 200 million. Mariah is old, the public eventually loses interest in older artist. Take Madonna for example, who brought her album? Exactly. You can’t compare an artist like Christina to someone like Mariah. Mariah really has nothing to prove but XXXLTina on the other hand is only, what?, 31. The fire in her career burned out too early. She’s been on a decline since BTB. I’d rather Mariah host a talent show than XXXLTina because Mariah has nothing left to prove. XXXLTina is still supposed to be shittin on bitches but she is not, she’s on a talent show, which has been known to be a has-beens job. So would you rather be a has been after over 20 years, over 200 million sold, inspired many of today’s artist, and broken so many records? Or a has been after only over a decade, and having so much more that could be accomplished like XXXLTina? I’d take the first one.
