Mark, I already admitted it flopped cuz it wasn't that great. I would have saved money to buy it full price had it been a little better. But since I'm a fan, I still bought it. And yeah the other artists u named selling their album full price cuz there is higher demand for their music and a better target audience for their type of music. Combine that with they are what's "in" at the moment. Pretty soon someone will take their place too when a better act comes around.
