I have many.
Alexandra Burke - Heartbreak On Hold
Leona Lewis - Glassheart
Sugababes - Sweet 7
The Saturdays - On Your Radar
Ke$ha - Warrior
Christina Aguilera - Bionic and Lotus, for both those albums I think the good tracks were great but the bad tracks were awful.
All of these except Alexandra Burke and the Saturdays -- although loved Elephant and Let It Go, and What About Us from those albums!
Loving Britney Jean, which is apparently flopping in the UK, and Femme Fatale was a great album too, but that only flopped in the UK...
I also love Loreen's (Eurovision 2013, sung Euphoria) album, Heal, which wasn't a hit at all in the UK as far as I'm aware.

It's a shame Britney's flopping. Femme Fatale was a good album and Britney Jean isn't too bad either although it has a few duff songs. Heal is a great album and is perfect for this time of year I think it flopped in the UK because of Loreen's association with Eurovision.
Memoirs of an imperfect Angel-Mariah Carey
Heartbreak on hold- Alexandra Burke
Glassheart- Leona Lewis
Femme Fatale- Britney Spears
4- Beyonce (Considered to be a flop by some).
Considering expectations were really low anyway, I guess it's not quite a "flop" in the traditional sense, but Diana Vickers "Music To Make The Boys Cry" is really great.
Cheryl Cole - A million Lights
J Lo's last one
Maraiah's Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel
Mariah - E equals MC2
Janet Dicipline
Xtina Lotus/Bionic
The Saturdays - Living For The Weekend
The Wanted Word Of Mouth
Kylie - Aphrodite (Sold 320k) but lower than expectations
Madonna - MDNA -Sold just about 100k in the UK
Dido's last studio album
Leona - Glassheart, did even sell beyond 60k?
I bought it for 50p at a car boot sale in September 2012 and didnt expect much as I really didn't like Dance To The Beat Of My Drum. But love the album
I think poor choice of lead single killed it. Pity!
Marion - This World And Body. An outstanding album without a duff track on it. Their Live In Manchester album is also excellent, although as it was only ever available from their website it was never going to be a big seller.
It sold only 60,000 copies in the UK, only went platinum in the States thanks to shipments and shifted rather measly 1.5m WW. Still, Britney Jean makes it look like a raving success.
'The Dreaming' by Kate Bush. Although it entered the chart at No. 3 and reached silver status very quickly, it was the least commercially successful of Kate's albums; but to me it's one of her best in creative terms, second only to Hounds Of Love.
Also, several by XTC, including 'English Settlement' and 'Skylarking'.
It flopped because of poor single choices, why Leona and Syco choose Trouble and Lovebird over tracks like Come Alive, Glassheart or Sugar I don't understand. I really do think it is her strongest to date and had so many songs that would have worked as singles.
Leona didn't choose Lovebird and you can tell in her performances She chose Fireflies and they even made a lyric video for it before pulling the plug & stupidly choosing Lovebird. If they were SO desperate to swap, they should have gone for Glassheart.
Good answer. I also really like Child of the Universe but as far as I've noticed there has not been much buzz about that one either?
I love that one and COTU wasn't given an offical release here I don't think. Took me MONTHS to get hold of it because Amazon UK didn't put it on for ages & then charged huge amounts. Eventually got it this summer off WOW HD or whatever they're called for less than £10
Probably Sad Wings of Destiny by Judas Priest. It was only their second album, and it didn't chart over here. Just checked, and apparently it reached number 204 on the US album chart. It's a cracking album.

E=mc2 was not a flop. It sold 1.5 million in the US and it had a number 1 single on it. The 18th Number one of her career.

Good call re KB, great album. I would love to take over the radio 1 breakfast show and put Leave It Open on a continuous loop. Mu ha ha ha
I suppose you have to define a flop album. Do you mean an Album by an Artist who have had big sellers then a really poor one or an Album by a band who haven't broke yet. If the latter I have the following
Genesis - Trespass
Genesis - Nursery Cryme
Status Quo - Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon
Status Quo - Dog Of Two Head
Judas Priest - Rocka Rolla
Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
Rush - Rush
Rush - Fly By Night
Thin Lizzy - Vagabonds Of The Western World
Thin Lizzy - Nightlife
Thin Lizzy - Fighting
Free - Tons Of Sobs
Free - Free
Whilst the Former
Fleetwood Mac - Bare Trees
Fleetwood Mac - Mystery To Me
Free - Highway
Technically all of the 70s Albums from Aerosmith and ZZ Top are UK flops as they did not chart but all of these are big faves of mine.

Sold over a million copies in the US. Had huge US top 10 hits. Are we talking about the UK here?
Sold 450k in the UK with three UK top 10 hits. "Aphrodite" which went to no 1 sold abit less. Hardly a flop?

I think it's fair to say that this album was considered a "flop". I still really like this album. I play it a lot.
I couldn't get into "On Your Radar" but I quite like "Living For The Weekend" though "What About Us" would be far better without Sean Paul.
I think that they've passed their opportunity to be a really big girl group but I'm still a fan, bar a couple of tracks.
Also, several by XTC, including 'English Settlement' and 'Skylarking'.
THIS.
Leona didn't choose Lovebird and you can tell in her performances

Possibly my most fav album from Kylie.

and by adore … I mean they are the kind of albums that get under my skin and i just sing away to and enjoy so much
and by flop album - I am talking about albums that didn't even make the top 40!
