Jennifer Lopez’s ‘LOVE?’ Takes A Tumble

Published: Wednesday 18th May 2011 by David

Jennifer Lopez will be wondering where is the ‘LOVE?‘ from her fans today.

For, despite spawning #1 smash ‘On The Floor’ and recent hit ‘I’m Into You’, the performer’s seventh studio album has taken a sizable sales dip on this week’s Billboard 200.

Full story below…

The LP took a sales dip of 60% this week , just one week after its less than stellar debut which saw it shift just 83,000 copies. This week the release dropped from its #5 position to a #9 with 33,000 units sold. Bringing its two week total to 116,000.

‘LOVE?’, which is the Lopez’s seventh studio album, received a heavy promotional push. One which saw her make stops at Ellen, Leno and, of course, American Idol. And then there are, unforgettably, the countless endorsement deals.

With 2007’s ‘Brave‘ heralded as being one the lowest points in her career, Lopez and her label are going to need record buyers to show the project a little more love (no pun) if it’s to not suffer a similar fate.

Yet, with Lady GaGa‘s ‘Born This Way‘ set for release next week, the chances of the LP’s prospects improving are about as likely as finding a whistle note in a Rihanna single.

    It’s a bad album the songs are boring and nothing new. There are one or two songs that would be ok if someone else with stronger voice sang them.

    some albums take weeks to peak. Rihanna’s Loud climbed back up to 3 after about 10 weeks after it debuted at 3.

    THAT GRAPE JUICE LIE, SHE WAS NOT ON LOPEZ TONIGHT.
    JUST ELLEN. AND STILL NO PERFORMANCE OF HER MUSIC.
    JUST 1 ON AMERICAN IDOL LAST LAST WEEK.

    WHERE’S BEYONCE ON HOT 100. WHERE’S TGJ POST ABOUT BEYONCE FLOP? MARIAH FLOP? CIARA FLOP?

  11. I WHIP MY WEAVE BACK AND FORTH CAUSE THAT’S ALL I KNOW HOW TO DO May 18, 2011

    Any BeyYAWNce stans shouldn’t get too smug because “4” will suffer the same fate or worse.

  12. DaBxDon May 18, 2011

    Great album..after some more hot singles and a world tour shell be sure to make this era a success..its doing great in other countries…

  13. royalkev May 18, 2011

    Jlo will probably bounce back. There are so many great singles on her album and I’m sure Love will end up being a slow seller. Jlo’s 41, she came back in the game with a hit single and decent numbers considering a few things. I’d just give it some time, she’s working with a lot of potential. It’s okay if she’s a singles’ artist at this stage of the game!

    Ciara sold more than her…

  15. Taylor swifts number 1 fan May 18, 2011

    Lady gaga’s new album is so repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive.. you get the idea

  16. RihannaNAVY May 18, 2011

    LMAO

    OTF hit #1 ?????
    I find it funny that when the discussion is not Rihanna, suddenly TGJ realize that there are actually charts outside the USA.

    I’m Into You is a hit?
    That song has peaked at 4Million AI on radio which is a total disaster of epic proportion.
    I ain t even sure it ever made the Hot100 at all.
    Yall are just PLAIN DELUSIONAL

  17. YOUR Queen! May 18, 2011

    *giggles* the JLo stans were talking mad s*** as well! This album is a flop and I’m not surprised because it’s just s***!

  18. Plissd May 18, 2011

    She will sold more than Ciara and Xtina, sorry.She will launch a 3rd smash single.

    She hasn’t done promo on EUROPE.

    #50 ON FORBES. WELCOME BACK JLO

  19. Part Of The Blanco Family May 18, 2011

    there are other charts.. im very sure j.lo hasnt FLOPPED. its J.LO wer talking about

  20. X,Y,”and Z” May 18, 2011

    (ZING…) “the chances of the LP’s prospects improving are about as likely as finding a whistle note in a Rihanna single.”

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT…!!!

  21. bey’knight brutal May 18, 2011

    lol why are her stans blaming beyonce? this is what happens when u pay more attention to an artiste u hate than one u love

    i’d feel sorry for jlo cus i actually like her but her idiotic fans kept bringing up bey when OTF was released, why is it always bey not rihanna or katy perry

  22. BAD BYTCH May 18, 2011

    MY GIRL RHI RHI NEED TO COME SHOW THESE GIRLS HOW TO MAKE HITS SIT PRETTY ON BILLBOARD

  23. DLOVER? May 18, 2011

    People must understand that most of these sons were leaked about a year ago. She has like 4 new song in Love?. I think she’s doing good in sales for music dats been out that long.

  24. bbb May 18, 2011

    Sam

    I am so close of you!

  25. mehtney this way May 18, 2011

    CONGRATS TO LEGEND GAGA FOR BEING #1 ON FORBES LIST.

    TEOG DEBUTED AT #3 ON HOT 100.

    FEEL SO EXCITED FOR THE ALBUM OF THE DECADE.

  26. Rihanna Rocks! May 18, 2011

    RihannaNAVY

    From a fellow Rihanna fan I’m Into You hasn’t went for top 40 radio adds yet. It doesn’t go for proper adds till June. It is being aimed for the summer.

  27. mehtney this way May 18, 2011

    LEGEND GAGA SHOULD PEN N PRODUCE NEXT JLO ALBUM. IT WILL BE EPIC.

  28. True Blue May 18, 2011

    @ Daniel:

    LOL, what?

  29. #1QueenGaga May 18, 2011

    LET THIS BE A LESSON TO XTINA THAT HAVING A HIT TV SHOW WILL NOT SAVE YOUR CAREER!!

  30. Mahogany May 18, 2011

    SHE’S A FLOP!!!!!!! A 5 TIME RAZZIE NOMINEE IS NOT GONNA COME OUT WITH A HIT ALBUM. DEAL WITH IT. SHE BETTER POSE IN PENTHOUSE. NOW THAT SHE CAN SELL, JUST SAYIN.

  31. ~aMaZiNG.Lee~ May 18, 2011

    Meh. Not surprised. I actually like “On The Floor” and “I’m Into You” but I don’t see how she names the album “Love?” when most of the songs on her album are generic and lack depth. I honestly think she had totally different music and an entirely different concept prior to signing her deal with Def Jam, but was pressured to do generic dance music. Remember her album was supposed to be released on the other label, but she was dropped.

  32. lax May 18, 2011

    man gaga made a whopping $90million and shes #1
    good for her, and the list is very intresting, tho rih isn’t on the list
    thank goodness shes in the game and her numbers $$$ has gone up higher
    but taylor swift did good and so did katy perry 44million and 45 verrrry impressive
    huh i see many who did not make what they made last go round.

  33. theman May 18, 2011

    There goes Sam reaching again. The album dropped 60 percent, which is a little less than alot of others. She’ll be okay. This album will be fine, it has alot of potential singles on it. She just needs to perform more.

  34. theman May 18, 2011

    Gaga has nothing to do with JLo’s album, and the Rihanna whistle comment was corny.

  35. Badd May 18, 2011

    speaking of charts:
    The Edge of Glory has debuted at #3 and it’s
    a PROMO single !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    You’re favs could NEVA !

  36. CURLY SUE May 18, 2011

    WHO REALLY WANTS TO BUY A FREAKIN J.LO ALBUM THESE DAYS? COME ON NOW.

  37. JohnVidal May 18, 2011

    She just got what she deserves for being untalented. In fact this is what she has been getting for years. Nobody is surprised!
    Ans Sam please don´t make it seem a little better than what it is. I´m into you a hit???
    Even On the floor hasn´t been a #1 on Billboard hot100. And that was the only thing she could achieve with luck. N** nothing, the flop is complete! lol

  38. Clueless Mac May 18, 2011

    damn..i feel bad for her….:(..I got like every color Lip gloss now..they been giving back after PETA got them for animal testing.. http://goo.gl/7fzo5

  39. JohnVidal May 18, 2011

    @Badd
    Did you heard the album? I love Goverment Hooker and Bloody Mary but specially You and I!!!! I know we know that song since last year. But I swear it sounds epic on the album version too. Oh and Edge of Glory is fabulous live, better than the album version
    And you know I´m not even a fan right?! 🙂

  40. demi May 18, 2011

    LMAOO.

  41. S*** May 18, 2011

    JLO + GAGA = FLOP/FAIL

    LMAOOOO, American Idol has done wonders for her singles but her Album?? LMAO, Just goes to show Hit Singles do not + Hit Album… ASK KATTY & RIHANNA 😐

  42. S*** May 18, 2011

    Hit Singles do not = Hit Album

  43. Taylor swifts number 1 fan May 18, 2011

    @True Blue 🙂 Have you heard the whole album yet? Most of the songs go on to long for my liking… they out stay their welcome. I’ll give it another listen supose some other time.

  44. True Blue May 18, 2011

    @ Daniel:

    Yeah, I’ve heard it, and considering how low my expectations of the album was after the disappointing singles she’s released, I actually find it to be quite decent. The singles are the weakest tracks on the record, and the non-singles grow on you with each listen. Maybe you’ll grow to like it at some point as well.

  45. ced May 18, 2011

    this is a great album!!! she jus needs 2 get out there & perform and she will do great!!! all these interviews she did the week of and after her album wasn’t gonna help sales by sitting on ur ass!!! this is when she needed to be promoting her album(Performing) and more (Performing0…a few top notch performances of both of ur singles..she will be jus fine!!! gota let the world kno J.Lo is bak cant jus do interviews

  46. mobwife May 18, 2011

    AGAIN, the media PETS are not going to continue to curry favor with music fans. Just because the media plasters your image on every billboard, newspaper, and magazine does not mean the fans of music are impressed. You have to produce quality work. A 60% decrease in sells in the 2nd wk for a person who has been voted by the media as the “Worlds Most Beautiful Woman”, who is a seated judge on a popular t.v. program, American Idol, and has interviewd/performed on all the major t.v. shows is just sad. Where is the “LOVE? ” indeed!….DAMN!!!

  47. onyx May 18, 2011

    today artist sell more singles and touring, to sell an album very well you has to be BRITNEY-MADONNA-GAGA, beyonce not even her single that’s is a flop

  48. jesse lopez May 18, 2011

    well first she has not been performing only interviews for mainly american idol and talk about the album a lil bit,I believe j.lo put this album out to test the waters cause most of the songs leaked 2 years ago and the album still debuted at #5,but they are great to listen to what is love,one love,everybody’s girl,and good hit and tell me those aren’t great songs.and it ain’t over tgj, j.lo works hard for her millions so you better treat her right!

  49. jesse lopez May 18, 2011

    everbody knows people buys singles and not albums these days.the artist is already rich while regulars are suffering in the economy why would someone buy a whole album when they can just buy songs they like,after you bought every single the released why would you spend money on it again?? but much love to you j.lo #love?

  50. irene46 May 18, 2011

    @ rgp…

    take a seat beside ciara and CHRISTINA?! christina’s not sitting too bad considering she’s featured on a successful tv show and her ‘burlesque’ movie (120 ml profit ww) and the soundtrack is still on the bb hot 200 after 24 weeks.

    if christina wasn’t a media hate target, they would be hyping this all over the place! so u go hava seat!

  51. thetruth May 18, 2011

    i’m going to need for every lame to quit using the following terms/semantics and sayings.

    * flop – we get it; its no longer the 2000 era of multi-platinum albums
    *swag – its very simple & late
    * non-mutha fck!n factor – it was funny the first time Lozada used it (& only the first time)

    you don’t win cool points; you don’t pass go; nor are you funny. let it go.

    everything out is gargabe (even your faves).

  52. onyx May 18, 2011

    i had already Born this way, all the songs an is not even out, why i had 2 buy her album when i could hav free, you can downloaded every song of the album in ARES

  53. JER May 18, 2011

    This is the 3rd blog written about how LOVE? is a flop, we get it. Let it go. Are you trying to remind us, or yourself. You should be blogging about how badly BeYAWNce’s song and/or video is a flop

  54. Taylor swifts number 1 fan May 18, 2011

    @True Blue Yeah, i shall listen to the album again, maybe with a few listens i will start to like it.

  55. queenbey will always s*** on ur fave and leave them no option but 2 pout May 18, 2011

    *chuckles*

  56. queenbey will always s*** on ur fave and leave them no option but 2 pout May 18, 2011

    Oh please give me a break. The Voice isnt successful bcuz of Christina, its successful bcuz its a good show.

  57. chris May 18, 2011

    Excuse me haters, but xtina’s so called major flop album sold in its first week, what j-lo sold in 2 weeks mother fuckers…love j-lo though

  58. onyx May 18, 2011

    I Love the album, haters stay away from J.LO

  59. KoreanDream May 18, 2011

    What a shame! This record is AMAZING.

  60. Sasha FLOPPED! May 18, 2011

    LOL, that’s nothing compared to how bad Floponce’s album is going to FLOP LMAO.

  61. QueenGaga May 18, 2011

    NO female artist stands a chance this year. Gaga is coming in 5 days.

  62. LOL May 18, 2011

    LOL, she’s still doing better than beyonce. at least J. Lo was able to make a top 5 hit. beyonce FLOPPED harder than any J. Lo song ever did LOL.

  63. #justsayin May 18, 2011

    you can’t mention Christina Aguilera in this. ‘Bionic’ did more in her first week than J. Lo did overall. ‘Burlesque’ grossed over $120 mil. and ‘The Voice’ is a hit because of her. J. Lo has simply never been a good recording artist. she should stick to acting.

    #justsayin

  64. C-LO May 18, 2011

    beyonce is gonna flop just as bad….

  65. Jordan May 18, 2011

    Always panning artists TGJ. She’s basically a new artist to this new generation — selling about the same as the likes of Taio Cruz and Jason Derulo. It will get better. This is like her first album again.

  66. wow May 18, 2011

    @mehtney this way
    WHY YOU MAD AT BRITNEY? LOL HAVETO PUT DOWN BRITNEY TO MAKE GAGA LOOK GOOD. YOU FAIL!!

    OH BTW,BRITNEY DONE FROBES ALREADY.

    JLO’S ALBUM WILL PICK UP WHEN SHE PERFORMS SHE GOT LOADS OF PROMO LINED UP! BTW YOU FAILED TO MENTION THIS HAS NEARLY OUT SOLD BRAVE IN ITS SECOND WEEK! LOVE? WILL DO FINE ITS NOW HOW YOU SELL IN THE FIRST WEEKS ITS HOW YOU SELL IN THE LONG RUN!

    BTW HOW THE F*** CAN BEYONCE FANS LAUGH WTF IS BEE’S NEW SINGLE ON ITUNES? IT FLOPPED GLOBALLY AND FOR A ARTIST LIKE BEE THATS EVEN WORSE

    JLO HAS ALREADY SOLD 4 MILLION RECORDS THIS ERA AND SHE WILL CONTIUNE TO SELL WHEN SHE GETS OUT THERE

    HATERS STAY MAD LOVE? WENT TOP 10 IN 13 COUNTRIES AND IS CLIMBING UP THE CHARTS! SHE SAT AT NUMBER 3 ON THE WORLD CHARTS LOVE? HAS SOLD OVER 200,000 IN ITS SECOND WEEK WIT NO PROMO

  68. jesse lopez May 18, 2011

    it ain’t over until the diva sings! and j.lo ain’t been singing in these interviews only promoting idol and a lil talk about the album at the end.it’s kinda hard to promote the album and not idol cuz everyone would say she is only using idol to sell albums.btw I am watching j.lo on idol and I don’t see any plastic surgery,if she did get any that is the most natural plastic surgery ever done!

  69. clemence May 18, 2011

    ************************

    HUH? Is that like a born again virgin? How is she basically a new artist? Madonna can drop a new CD she’s still the same great artist. A person of her status should not have to start from the bottom not with all of the positive press she has received with her AI duties and People Mag nod as most beautiful!

  71. Rican-kid May 19, 2011

    She got love from me and my boo got the glitteratii edition and onto of that I’m lazy to install the cd on my computer so bought a copy on my iPhone and another on my iPad. This cd is great she did not let me down at all love every track.

  72. The Perrylicious is taking over… May 19, 2011

    Please don’t mention Aguilera’s name!
    You retarded Gaga & Beyonce fans can STFU!
    I really hope Christina slays Gaga again. She is more talented than gimmick-Gaga.
    Even effortless Britney slaying Gaga in this era. LOL

    I I I Wanna Go O O…to buy TGIF (Last Friday Night) single!
    Britney, Katy & Rihanna reigning the charts! 😀

  73. jesse lopez May 19, 2011

    @mobwife j.lo is basically starting over after no promotion and failed brave album and being gone with twins for two years.and madonna ain’t great s*** what was her last album and that terrible single with jt 4 minutes.ha! her 4 minutes are up! let me stop cuz i actually like madonna. in interviews she is funny but I never really listened to her music.although I know she is not a great vocalist and dances basic moves

  74. Badd May 19, 2011

    @JohnVidal

  77. jesse lopez May 19, 2011

    @sugarwall who the f*** are you!? b**** with a name like that you have no say here,f*** you mean only one song.what is love,one love,good hit,i’m into you,on the floor,and hypnotico are all good songs.listen to the first 3 i named and tell me they aren’t good!!

    LOVE? in stores and available on itunes now.

  79. modjo May 19, 2011

    cmon LOVE? is a gr8 album and OTF it s a worldwide smash . im sure that this album is gonna sell more next weeks . copyonce will flop badly

  80. Kie May 19, 2011

    I bought the deluxe version of Love? the 1st week, But with the look of sales maybe I should by the standard version as well.

  81. lola May 20, 2011

    LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JNO is a damn flop and deserves to flop. That’s what she gets for using American Idol to make a comeback. I remember when her dumbass stans were talking about how she was making a comeback and gonna slay… now y’all are saying that “No One is really BUYING ALBUMS NOW-A-DAYS.” GTFOH! I heard the album, and it’s HORRIBLE! Wow, it sounds like a cheap imitation of Lady Gaga’s newest album. JNO is nothing but an old, washed up, untalented h**! Now can you dumbass stans STFU about her being the diva and being on top. She got lucky with “On The Floor” and “I’m Into You” and “Papi” flopped hard as hell on the charts.

  82. jesse lopez May 20, 2011

    @lol b**** you and your late ass comments can take a seat right now.trying to wait till everybody done commenting to say some s***,h** if you listened to the whoe album and still think it is trash then you f***** up in the head ann body! she still a f****** diva and facts are facts people aren’t buying albums much nowadays you just said you heard the whole album?? now either you secretly a fan and went out and bought the album or you illegally downloaded it which still is pathetic,but that is why albums aren’t selling cause theives are illegally downloading and people are only buying singles they like! and you talking about luck with on the floor btch ain’t no luck keeping you in the top 10 for 12 weeks,and i’m into is not a flop,she is’nt performing or promoting it and it is still getting air time and by the middle of june it will be a smash! smash like your face,your late wig and lame late ass comments B****!!

  83. POPLover May 22, 2011

    HATERS, U CAN SPREAD THE LINK OF GAGA’S NEW ALBUM.. BUT THE TRUTH IS WE’RE GONNA BUY IT, AMAZING…
    #SLAY .. HATERS HATES, U CAN SUCK MY D*** ..

  84. FEMME FATALE: ALBUM OF THE YEAR May 25, 2011

    Forget about J.Lo. Her album is already out of iTunes Top 100 only after 2 weeks of release. Britney’s 2 months old album is still at No.22 on iTunes without any promotion. That’s what being a legend. Femme Fatale is a GREAT album. Congrats Britney, the real queen of music!

  85. jesse lopez May 27, 2011

    @femmefatale how lame are you to come to this old ass post and type that lame ass comment?! nobody asked what britney’s album was doing,britney don’t have any post so you come here to promote that autotune nightmare?
