The biggest flops of the year: Mariah Carey, MDNA and more
The music disasters of 2012
- Mariah Carey - The singer's new single 'Triumphant' reached the heady heights of 115 on the US Billboard charts this week, managing to sell fewer units than a bonus track from Beyonce's '4' album last year.
Selling just 23,000 downloads is a pretty disappointing showing for someone who has sold tens of millions of albums worldwide, and Carey will be hoping appearances later in the year as a judge on American Idol will help revive her fortunes.

Mariah Carey's big music comeback hasn't been the huge success she may have been hoping for - new single 'Triumphant' only managed to claw its way to No.115 in the US chart. Ouch indeed.
But why is this? Is her career over, or is she just another casualty of the worldwide recession? Either way, she's not the only one who's faced chart underperformance, been dropped by their label, or incurred criticism from fans.
Here we list the biggest flops and dissappointments in the music industry this year - some will undoubtedly dust themselves off and try again, but some we may never hear from again (if indeed we heard from this year in the first place)...
