Bad news first.
Her comeback album Bionic has flopped on both sides of the Atlantic. In the UK, although it came in at #1, it had the lowest sales debut in history for a #1 album, with 24,000 copies sold. The results were worse in her home country, where her album will come in at #3, behind the Glee and Eclipse soundtracks. According to Hits Daily Double, she sold just over 110,000 copies, a massive drop from the opening week sales of her last studio album Back to Basics. That album sold 346,000 copies in its first week. With Drake releasing his album Thank Me Later this week, prospects don't look too good for a decent second week.
Now for good news.
Christina was absolutely brilliant at tonight's NBA Finals, where she sang the National Anthem. This performance is why we love Christina:
You win some, and you lose some apparently.

first of all she is #1 in UK doesnt matter by an inch or a mile. And secondly having a #3 album on the charts is not a bust its a huge accomplishment in the world of free music. and lastly Bionic is by far one of the most brilliant records Christina has done. Lyrically very well written. She is so much more than stand behind a michrophone and sing. she is entertaining and not afraid to think outside the box.
