Damn sales are so low! 60,000-70,000 copies first week for these R&B artists is not a flop anymore, it´s the normal thing. Some of the best album sellers of the last years haven´t been able to do more than 180,000 copies or so with their last albums (Michael Buble or Alicia Keys). Britney or Beyonce suffered a sales decline with their lat albums, and that was two years ago. We´ll see when they release their new albums. I mean, this is a sinking ship. Even Kanye "only" sold 328,000 (with no promo, I know, it´s still great). It seems the only way is a la Justin Timberlake, crazy hype about the first week sales with all the media supporting you as if you were a new Jesus or something. If not, it´s impossible. They will do it with Eminem too. I´m sure. Only with 2 or 3 albums per year. They are their precious white boys (and don´t ask me why cos Eminem could have been bashed to death by the media a la Chris Brown, knowing what a problematic, controversial or even disgusting person he is, but oh wait, it doesn´t matter, they won´t focus on that, he is the cool white rapper, it´s ok even if he bashes women, etc, normally reason enough to be blacklisted, as it should be)
