*Sigh* That album was such a waste... could have easily gone multi-platinum had it not been for "Bye Bye" and of-course some more promotion following her marriage.



E=MC2 is still the biggest missed chance of her career to me. I would have said MIAM but while I would have preferred it to not utterly flop, I think it still could only have gone so far commercially with the material and the junction in her career it was released. E=MC2 though, coming off TEOM and the massive public interest did not deserve to become literally a three week event smiley: eyes


It didn't, but I think the actual biggest problem with the album is that it didn't have a truly classic single on it. It has a lot of nice songs/singles, but nothing on the order of "Hero," "Fantasy," or "We Belong Together" to ensure truly solid commercial heights.



True. Utterly true. I don't even think TMB would even have done as well as it did without the post-TEOM hype. I realistically couldn't see any massive smash hit singles off E=MC2 or even enduring tracks but I do think she was sitting on a few steady Top 10's had the campaign been better managed and more commitment shown. As Mario said, I could have seen IBLYLT and Migrate both being respectable pop hits had it all been handled better.
