    Sales Predictions: The Weeknd To Outsell Christina Aguilera’s ‘Lotus’

    Written by Trent | Filed under Charts,Christina Aguilera,The Weeknd

    Christina Aguilera’s ‘Lotus’ album cover.

    Christina Aguilera refused to effectively promote her new album, ‘Lotus’, effectively and she will pay dearly for her mistake. As sales predictions indicate, the record will earn her the lowest first week sales of career and be outsold by The Weeknd’s ‘Trilogy’.

    With only 75K-80K in sales, ‘Lotus’ will clock even lower sales than Aguilera’s previous commercial disaster, ‘Bionic’. The latter entered the Billboard 200 at #3 in 2010 with over 110K copies sold. That’s right, ‘Lotus’ will replace its predecessor as the slowest-selling English studio album of Aguilera’s career to date.

    However, this situation comes as no surprise because Aguilera performed material from ‘Lotus’ at only two televised events – ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’ and ‘The Voice’. Additionally, the lead single from the set, ‘Your Body’, peaked at #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 before tumbling down the chart.

    Shockingly, however, The Weeknd’s ‘Trilogy’ is on track to outsell ‘Lotus’. The first major release by the underground artist, which is just a compilation of songs from his trio of mixtapes - ‘Thursday’ and ‘Echoes of Silence’ - will move 95K-105K copies in its first week.

    What do I think of Aguilera’s ‘Lotus’? Read my review of the album by clicking here and then watch me predict its poor chart performance on Trini Trent TV below:

      I may not be an Xtina fan but this makes me sad…..hopefully it picks up after the 1st week with promotion.

      how dreadful. but then again doesnt the weeknds album count as a double/triple album? I’m not sure, but anyway Lotus is now officially a FLOP. Its like summer 2010 all over again

      welp. she about to have another bionic era, and she will flop even harder. cause next year the even bigger stars will be back out.. gaga, mariah, beyonce etc. i.e people with solid fan bases who are actually anticipated.
      watch her get all proud and be in denial though. cause you know this album is such a ‘vocal masterpiece, that will inspire generations of singers to come’…
      girl bye.

      She didn’t do any promo for this album. I like it though. I hate that they claim it’s explicit but it’s actually not. The version of Your Body on the deluxe version is not explicit.

      Not only did she fail to promoted, but Xtina is boring now! The earlier Xtina offered an amazing alternative to chart rival Britney Spears. While Britney whispered &moaned through her smash hits such as “Hit me baby one more time”; Christina belted and served vocal power which mesmerized fans. Later Xtina got dirty and still managed to movivate fan with anthems like “Beautiful and Fighter”; in short Xtina was the BITCH! Now the star like so many other artist is offering up a body of work that offers no growth, even though her own body does show amazing signs of growth.

      Xtina & RCA should’ve promoted the album. I really don’t see any chance of this album doing bigger numbers at any future period of time. I actually like the album but she & her label clearly don’t, otherwise they would’ve promoted it.

      I think that it’s good that The Weeknd managed to sell a collection of songs that everyone had for free. So essentially people paid $10 for 3 new songs. That’s what I call devotion.
