MODEST? What did these guys at TGJ expect??? How many copies did her recent albums sell first week in the USA? I doubt that more than this, and the industry is in a worst siruation every year, so I fing the numbers pretty good. She has the worldwide audience (even if at this point it is starting to decline for her too, after more than 15 years having huge success, it´s normal). Accept it: almost nobody sells over 100,000 copies anymore in the USA. Just a handful of artists every year, who are promoted correctly and the mainstream media decides need to be supported, and especially around Xmas buying season. It stops there. People with a certain age and without a hit single don´t seel more than 100,000 copies first week anymore. Sad, but true. You can´t call them flops, at least they already made it big, unlike others.
