Not sure how back to back to back multiplatinum hits constitutes struggling but I'll entertain this comment. Age is irrelevant when Christina started at much younger age and as a teen pop act which everyone agreed would die out by 2001. Mariah and Madonna debuted in a time when music listeners were overall less fickle to an audience that was certainly more loyal than the teen pop audience Xtina captivated. That being said, Lotus and Bionic did not bomb as badly as Mariah and Madonna's latest releases. Might I add that Madge and Mimi have an extensive catalog to keep their loyal audience while Christina releleased only 2 studio albums in the 2000s to her notoriously fickle audience.
