Christina Aguilera’s Label Talk Single Failure

Despite an initially warm welcome from radio, Christina Aguilera’s comeback single ‘Not Myself Tonight’ has somewhat fizzled on the US charts, managing only a #23 peak on the Billboard Hot 100.

In a rare industry occurrence, Aguilera’s record label, RCA, have spoken out on their disappointment in the single’s performance. Check out what the label source had to say ever-reliable fansite Xtina Web after the jump…

    New single soon soon?

    Yes, there will be a new single on the way. But it’s not planned any earlier than the albums release.

    Is RCA disappointed?

    Yes, ‘Not Myself Tonight’ is what we believe to be a great song. Unfortunately it was analysed and “ripped” apart by the media – with comparisons and judgements.

    Why did you guys fail so hard?

    The pop music world is changing constantly, and we don’t view it as a fail. Sometimes things work, sometimes they don’t – and the time obviously wasn’t right for this release to achieve what it was meant to achieve.

    Any big news??

    Nope.

    Pristine one more thing. You know if some countries like Japan or iTunes will have more tracks? Thanks.

    iTunes tracks – you bet

    Is “WooHoo” the second single?

    Not at this stage, no. It was an intentional leak, and was not a leak of a 2nd single.

    Have you heard the album? or seen the booklet?

    Heard the album… yes. Can talk about it in depth, no.

    Can you name a couple favorites?

    I don’t know the names of them as they were played off the album to a group. I’ve known Glam from hearing it before, and there’s one towards the end of the album – I really sway towards it being the one featuring Peaches. Anyway, it’s awesome!

    When Not Myself Tonight’s release, you mentioned several songs were considered as the 1st single… Care to share which were?

    Glam, Bionic and another song that I forget were considered. It wasn’t Not Myself Tonight – that was a last hour decision by Christina and her reps. It wasn’t WooHoo either.

    Woohoo leaked before anyone else leaks it! it was a on a risky bar of leaking !

    Not really. If it leaked before the intentional leak, it wouldn’t have mattered.

    Where they aware that ‘Not Myself Tonight’ was boycotted from radios?

    Oh, they told us

It pretty much goes without saying, but it’s clear that Christina’s ‘Bionic’ project hasn’t gotten off to the best of starts – which is worrying to say the least.

While many of her supporters seem to cite the fact that ‘Dirrty’ peaked at #48 on the Hot 100, yet the album it was featured on, ‘Stripped’, went on to become one of the year’s biggest sellers, we are in a very different industry than 8 years ago when that LP dropped. With sales not being what they once were, an ever-increasing number of artists and labels are learning that you have to release that AAA track from the jump – no dilly-dallying or playing around.

So what this will mean for Xtina’s ‘Bionic’ album (due June 8th) will be real interesting to see…

^Yeah he may as well have said "Yeah, I've heard it. Can't really remember anything from it though. It's alright."

Jesus, I'd be worried if I was her. When your label is already admiting how badly things have gone, your pretty f#cked. For a project so long in gestation, it sounds very unorganised.

Yikes.  Much as I hate SkankTina, it's pretty unprofessional for someone on her label to go on record saying all that.  Then again, she's probably a huge cu_nt to everyone at RCA too.

^ Probably. I can't wait until this album sells less than half of "Back To Basics", then her fans can't use the double disc excuse again.

So... What are your predictions for XXX's 1st week?

I say 120-30k tops, just off her (blind) fanbase.

Long gestation my ass. She spends most of her break time doing naked Sundays and getting dick while her husband is on the guests house, then records anything in 5 months

The only way to know for sure how much Tunatina will sell would be to gain access to the US Census Bureau and find out exactly how many severely mentally ill Americans live near record stores (or have iTunes gift cards).

Is that Beyoncé's weave or did Nicole Scherzinger (of the Pussycat Dolls) find a new vacation spot (inside Aguilerrieuxipria's ass).


Beyoncé doesn't even have black hair
