It is sad this album has tanked to badly, it is a great dance/pop album and any other who would have released this would have been played by radio and be supported. I hope Alexandra can find people who can guide her to other markets, it seems the UK is over her, maybe it's time to invest some time in Europe.

I knew this album wasn't going to do great but I never thought it would do this bad. :o

There's a couple duds but overall it's a really great album. I'm gutted for Alexandra.
The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

It's official:

This is the biggest FLOP in UK History! Coming from an album selling +825,000 copies, having the most downloads in a week by a female in UK History people... to selling 11,000 copies in such short time, and falling out the top 100 albums ! :o :o :o :o :o :o :-? :-? :-? :-? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
I certainly wouldn't wanna be her!

This might be a flop but certainly not "the biggest flop in UK music history" :-?

Rumours are she sacked her management team. I really hope that's true! Hopefully she can get a management team that actually knows how to handle an album campaign...

Yesterday I was shown an email from the guy who manages her trying to flog her on the dates she has available to summer to TV shows, club nights, etc. So desperate.

I hope it's him who has gone!

Every era requires hard work. Sometimes I think some artists and labels think their name and previous successful era will automatically equal success for the next era! I wish people would realize Beyonce's work ethic!!! That is a true testament!!!

I hope she can make a comeback with a massive NEW album!!! :cry:

I really like the title track 'Heartbreak On Hold', but if 'Let It Go' didn't do anything on the chart, it certainly wouldn't.
