Channel Orange was obviously not average. Average is almost any pop release by these models with a mic we have in mainstream. But his wasn´t. Critical acclaim was huge. And well, it may be boring to you, it kind of was to me. But quality wise, it was damn great. He´s not meant to be a big star so he obviously won´t do any big numbers if that´s what you are expecting to see. It won´t be a flop, cause pretty much everybody is a flop, meaning nobody is a flop anymore LOL
