^By the way, I know the metacritic score is going to dip 'much' lower, probably will end up dipping in the 40s. 'Then' I'll say it's terrible.

^ Yeah, Stripped actually did worse initially, then it went up like 10 points once it was quite successful.

It's all relative. TEOM didn't get a 'good' score neither. So I guess it isn't a good album.


Thats major backtracking though - you said the score on Metacritic was good. It isnt. Its not even scrapping 60 at present. TEOM and Bionic could both be two of the greatest albums of all time but the point is, neither fared well on Meta.

Trashing Mariahs own album is low and not even what we're discussing.
  




Learn how to 'read' and interpret. I was referring to jasp comments that I Am...Sasha Fierce isn't a 'good' album when I referred to it also having a score of 62, which isn't that far from 59. Obviously many posters on here wouldn't agree with that score and consider that a 'good' album.

How in the hell am I trashing TEOM when I was using it's 'low' score as a comparison to the score current score Bionic and IASF received. Sheesh, you all are so damn slow.



Nope - you are still backtracking and deflecting what you said.

The point was, 59 points is hardly good (as you made out). I dont care about what TEOM got, you started dragging that up when people tore into you over defining 59 as good. I'm not going to start going off track debating whether Bionic or TEOM got unjust reviews. Maybe they did but thats a differant discussion. I get what you are saying about Beyonce as well but again, its a tangent to get away from your original point/statement. 

They got what score they did, they werent all that great and the scores are what they are.

HITS:

SOUNDTRACKS LAY CLAIM TO TOP SPOT

Can Twilight Saga Eclipse Another Glee Cast Album?

June 9, 2010

The summer sales doldrums lift briefly this week as a pair of soundtracks tries to take a bite out of the chart.
Chop Shop/Atlantic’s Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the third in the series of popular teenage vampire movies, goes up against yet another Columbia Glee Cast album, Journey to Regionals, in a race for the top spot on next week’s HITS sales rundown.

Give Twilight a slight edge at 150-170k, with Glee at 140-160k, though the full effect of last night’s finale hasn’t quite impacted physical, meaning the franchise could well score its third #1 in less than two months. So don’t stop believin’ Gleeks.

That, of course, is based on results from those retailers around the country who are using CD sales to bring in toothpaste customers.

The week’s other big debut is RCA/RMG diva Christina Aguilera’s techno-heavy Bionic, just her fourth studio album since her self-titled 1999 bow, and expected to do between 120-125k. Her previous studio album, Back to Basics, came out in August 2006. A greatest hits album was released in Nov. 2008, selling 350k its first week.

wow... those #s are HORRIBLE.

I was hoping for less than 100k, but I will settle for that.

What did 'Memoirs' do in its first week?

I thought she'd be able to get to 200k, too. I hope this album serves as a reality check.

I dont get why people are hatin on Christina as if she's some rival or threath to Mariah?
She never was and never will be!

Since this thread is about Christina Aguilera!,  Well she;s clearly having a bad time! lol  
but I like the album/singles, esp one with Nicki Minage and prefer her over gaga any day!

I'll always favour those who can sing, the madonna's and gagas have never really appealed to me in that way.

110k is terrible though! Will debut at no.3 on Billboard Im assuming?  It is No.1 on iTunes here in UK apparently.

Gaga sounds better live than Christina now.  Christina's grunts and growls are a #fail

I agree bout Christina but Gaga's live singing voice to me sounds like a scary drunk man on that piano! lol   

Im actually very happy Gaga is here! Glad to see madonna fans are busy attacking Monsters than Lambs for a change all over the net! lol
