Alice Band - Love Junk Store
Aurora - Aurora
man how embarassing lol
Rachel Stevens - Come & Get It
I liked Mutya Buena's too.
Fried - I didn't realise this hadn't done well until I read something about it recently and they changed labels and reissued it apparently. I love it.
Most of these, and also Sugababes' infamous flop Catfights and Spotlights!
Nowhere near the success White Ladder was, which is a shame because it's a fantastic album
Released at the peak of her downfall, to be honest I loved it, she had a more clubby, dance theme to it especially with Piece of Me, Gimme More and Break The Ice.
Robbie Williams- Rudebox
Colby O Donis- Colby O
Guns N Roses- Chinese Democracy
I can't remember where it charted exactly, but I know it didn't make Top 10.
It's actually a very good album. Gareth's voice sounds great on it. It was a large improvement on the album he brought out previously "Go Your Own Way"
I listen to POTOS regularly though. Some fabulous songs on it.
- Bat For Lashes - Fur and Gold
- CSS - CSS
- Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
- Skin - Fleshwounds
- Skin - Fake Chemical State
- Lisa Lopes - Supernova
- M.I.A - Kala
- Sigur Rós - ( ) and Ágætis byrjun
- Peaches - I Feel Cream
- Grace Jones - Hurricane
- Skunk Anansie - Smashes and Trashes (:( No one knew it was out! Done well in other countries, though).
Also:
Annie - Don't Stop
Alphabeat - This Is Alphabeat + The Spell (OK, The Spell hasn't even been released in the UK yet but its certain to flop)
Mr Hudson - Straight No Chaser
Little Boots - Hands
The Saturdays - Wordshaker
Joss Stone - Colour me free
Blackout - Britney Spears
Bittersweet World - Ashlee Simpson
Autobiography - Ashlee Simpson (I know this did well in America, not sure about the UK, but I love this album)
Its a great album imho
tbh the music I listen to hardly shakes the top ten to its foundations (ie Mogwai, A Day To Remember, P@tD) so you could say all the albums I like are 'flops'
"Bittersweet World" is a bit rubbish but I really like a lot of the material on "Autobiography", especially the title track.
She never quite got over her Saturday Night Live nightmare did she!
No. And it's a shame because so many people have mimed (and on a regular basis, i.e Britney) yet some made out that it was the worst thing on earth, and as if she was the only one to ever mime:eek: She was ill too apparently, was told by her doctor not to speak and deffinately not to sing.
I didn't like Bittersweet World when I first heard it, but it really grew on me.
That album deserved to do so much better than it did, it was brilliant!
Agreed. But I think her problems were made worse when she initially blamed her band for the mistake, when they'd actually tried to help cover it up...
Quite a few of her albums have been brilliant yet she never seems to get any credit.
Michelle Williams 3rd album.. can't find it in my house tho.. I'll have to pop back to HMV and buy it again.
