Flop albums you love
What albums out there have flopped (in terms of sales, don't be fooled by position) which you actually really enjoyed and still like today.
For me it has to be Britney - Blackout Paris Hilton - Paris Joss Stone - Introducing Joss Stone Natasha Bedingfield - NB Sophie Ellis Bextor - Trip the light fantastic Mutya Buena - Real Girl Jordin Sparks - Battlefield Taio Cruz - Departure Ashlee Simpson - Bittersweet world Gavin DeGraw - Gavin DeGraw Shontelle - Shontelligence Flo Rida - ROOTS Jesse McCartney - Departure |

There's loads as I couldn't care less how albums place chart wise but one that instantly springs to mind is the self titled debut from the 90's Mockney accented Hepburn.

Mutya Buena - Real Girl
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. |

David Gray - Draw The Line
Nowhere near the success White Ladder was, which is a shame because it's a fantastic album |

Britney Spears - Blackout.
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. |

Gareth Gates - Pictures Of The Other Side.
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. <3 |

If by flop you just mean not that successful in terms of sales, then:
- 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 Ágćtis 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).

Quite a few of the ones already mentioned - Britney, Sugababes, Rachel Stevens, Sophie Ellis Bextor.
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 |

Surely 'Blackout' didn't do that badly?
![]() 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! 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.

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
