No, the industry didn't give up on Christina by any means. If she wants to sit back and let other artists such as Taylor and Gaga take her place, let her do so. It is funny, despite Britney's personal woes, she is realistically more successful than Christina because she has put out more material. Christina has been out for about 11 years now, and she only has 3 albums to date (However, the last time I checked, Back to Basics was one of the biggest selling albums of 06 along with Timberlake and Beyonce, you may wanna do some research) Though certain artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Sade have taken long breaks in between albums in the past and have remained successful, not every artist who does that today is capable of following that same path. When you are gone for 4 years and return, it is like you have to get in line despite who you are. Beyonce refuses to do that, which explains "Beyonce Overload." Justin you could say is in the same scenario as Christina. But I don't really care either way because I don't like neither Christina or Justin, so they could disappear forever for all I care.
