i'm a christina fan but i don't give this cd much of a chance because of the singles falling so fast. maybe 200k in the first week. downhill after that. i hope i'm wrong! if christina got one drop of the hype the media gives to britney (if she breaks a nail they consider it newsworthy), stores wouldn't be able to stock her cd fast enough. this won't happen though because the media for some reason are 'christina haters'. you barely see reports of her on ANY of the celebrity news shows even when she gives amazing performances on tv venues such as oprah, american idol and mtv movie awards...etc there are no comments.

to explain to sarah may 26 why britney's 'blackout' cd could be considered a flop is because it only sold 880k in the u s (not even platinum in u s sells). it did manage to sell 3.7ml worldwide. she may not have promoted that cd but the media promoted it for her. when michael jackson sold about 10ml copies (w/o promotion) of his 'invincible' cdworldwide it was called a flop. i guess the media defines a flop!
