While the industry collectively gasped at the first week sales of Nelly Furtado‘s latest album ‘The Spirit Indestructible’, the singer is not letting the fact she sold just 6000 copies halt her hustle.

Affordable in some respects (ticket prices start at $45), the trek does raise eyebrows in that front-section tickets cost $100 a seat. Common logic immediately begs the question: “if essentially no one bought your $10 album, why would they spend $100 on seats to your small-venue tour?”
Still, we have buckets of love for Nelly’s talent and are keen to see her establish at least one successful “face” to this project – the most plausible being the route she’s going down now – touring. Thereafter, once re-grouped, she and her team can put the wheels in motion to ensure she delivers an album worthy of the strong push ‘TSI’ got. And not six years from now either.
umm ok. good luck to her.
I Wish the best for her and her career
Smh…6000 copies though?
Is there really any point?
she’s still trying? poor thing. bless her.
what she needs to do is take a minute, gather thoughts, get back in the studio and pretend spirit unfloppable didnt happen
this is dumb… come on its her native Canada i am sure she will be fine.. and honestly i haven’t bought the album but its actually a lot better than most of the fluff out there!
She seriously took too long of a break that people lost interest in her. hope her next album does better.
AMEN!
THis is kind of sad…but i will give it to her she pushing on. I wouldn’t worrie if i were here though..Nicki would be blessed to even push half of nelly’s album sales…
EXCUSE ME BOO BUT NICKI HAS PUSHED WAY MORE THAN 3,000 COPIES IF YOUR REFERING TO NELLY’S LAST ALBUM … GIRL GET CHO LIFE! *ROLLS EYES*
You don’t need a #1 album to sell out tour seats, just ask Rhianna, Madonna, Janet, etc.
Madonna’s MDNA debuted at #1 in March 🙂
i’m pretty sure fans will buy the album at the show.
I could i should but i wont…..or maybe i will, how in the hell she gonna go on tour when her album flopped harder than flip flops… nelly honey you need to get back in to the studio and come back with something new fresh and that will make you gain new fans cause beeeybe dont even get me started on your last album *rolls eyes* GIRL BYE!
Folklore The album debuted at number eighteen on the Canadian albums chart with first-week sales of 10,400,[5] and at number thirty-eight on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 68,000 in its first week.

LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO WHO DA F*** GIVE HER MONEY TO GO N TOUR?!!!!! IM SURE SHE GONNA BE PERFORMING IN ALLEYS AND AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD….NOTHING BIG LMAO LMAO @ YOU NELLY….SMDH
A flop album don’t mean a flop tour….thats the same logic behind fact nobody buys madonna’s MDNA for $2 dollars and yet buying her $300 dollar tickets
You don’t only perform songs from a newly released album while on tour silly people. You perform hits as well, and nelly has enough of those to cover a few shows. Give her a break!
yea, i only expected to see Canadian cities on this list, she’s coming to mine, if the price is right….maybe i’ll go.
