Things are not looking good for Christina Aguilera…at all. The 29 year old’s latest LP ‘Bionic’ is on course to limp into the charts with dismal sales. More below…
According to Billboard, the album is forecast to sell in the region of 100,000-120,000 copies first week.
Not only are such numbers appalling for Aguilera given her label’s huge promotional campaign and the massive sums of money invested into the recording of the record, its set to be the lowest ever first week tally of Aguilera’s career.
Granted there is still a few more major promo stops for Xtina before the week is out, unless she’s able to pull some kind of ‘water-into-wine’-esque miracle, this is looking to be one hell of an embarrassing situation for the ‘Dirty’ singer.
It’s all rather unfortunate, as ‘Bionic’ is indeed a solid LP, and is infinitely better than her last offering ‘Back to Basics’. However, it’s clear to see that the lethal combo of the Lady GaGa comparisons and Christina’s own ‘attitude’ rendered this LP dead on arrival.
Oh well, every artist has a flop at some point.
