Nelly Furtado, Kreayshawn and the biggest flops of 2012

New albums join more big name disasters

 

  • Christina Aguilera - The singer attempted to revive her pop career, whilst riding the wave of the Maroon 5 smash hit 'Moves Like Jagger', but failed quite miserably. Lead single 'Your Body' could only peaked at No.34 on the Billboard Top 100 and the album 'Lotus' sold poorly. A good album, but a lack of live performances or coverage meant for a flop of 2012.

Nelly Furtado's 2012 single 'Hoops (The Bigger The Better)' was brilliant. Unfortunately, not many people appeared to agree, with the single reaching only No.14 in the UK - and missing the US charts all together.

However, the single's failure is nothing when compared to sales of her new album, Spirit Indestrucible, which sold less than 10,000 copies in the US and UK combined in its week of release. It's been six years since her last hit of note, when 'Say It Right' hit No.1 in America, and 'All Good Things (Come To An End)' reached No.4 in the UK.

Hotly tipped US rapper Kreayshawn has also struggled with disastrous album sales this week, and the pair of US starlets now join the ever-growing list of the year's biggest flops. Check out the other stars now hurtling towards the twilight years in their career long before they expected it...
