Stuck in the 90s, my butt....I just don't accept mediocrity and dismiss it because it's the signs of the times. Yeah, the 90s and early 00s absolutely did have healthier album sales...so there's no reason why that shouldn't still be the case now.

As far as I'm concerned, someone's album sales aren't passable until their album sells over 2 million in the U.S., and that's just barely passable. I wouldn't call anyone sales good until they are at at least 3 million U.S., and an album isn't a blockbuster until it moves over 5 million U.S.

I realize few have accomplished this in the past three or four years, so I have no problem with writing them ALL off as flops.
