It's number 66 or something.

I think it's fascinating it charted so low.

She did adequate promo, she has a popular lead single, her last album did well... and #66. Wow.

I didn't buy it though, I'm waiting for it to go way down in price like Animal did.

A generic dance-pop song will never sell an album (except in special circumstances). Everybody knows that.

If she'd released a ballad or something, the song might not have gone top 10, but the album would've gone top 40.

I know her last album made top 10 but I feel she doesn't have a good presence/ image compared to the likes of Gaga and Minaj and she's too trashy to appeal to people who buy Emeli/Adele.

In short I don't think anyone likes her here.

She performed on Graham Norton and I thought the single was nothng special and we t on way too long.

I just see a pop creation, not an artist

She had a decent selling debut album which stayed around for a bit and hit the top 10. I don't no the exact sales but i presume she's near platinum.

#66 is disastrous and there's no other way to put it.

#80 in Germany and expected to go in at #9 in her home country, a disaster.

I have always thought of Kesha has a novelty act anyway. I like her though and the new album is great.

Did she really do that much promo?
Heard her on Radio 1 last week for a few minutes but that's it.

She was on Graham Norton as well. Poor lass I like Ke$ha - especially Blow, her best song IMO.

I can't believe it charted so low its actually an OK album! It deserved top 40 at least...I guess no-one really wants a party album in the winter though? Maybe it was all just bad timing and bad promotion.

I'm shocked. It was in the top 10 on iTunes when it was first released. It must have plummeted the next few days.

It's far better than her last album.

It hit top 10 but fell out quickly and only stuck around in the lower reaches of the top 100 for a while possibly not even scraping close to a 100K So this comes as no surprise though iw ould have expected something like 18 then quick drop.

And you said it quite rightly this is a disaster and ony #6 in the US she is on shaky ground.

I thought this album was one of her best . It has so many good radio friendly songs that would chart well.

Only #6? Since when was that a bad charting?

It is an embarassing charting for an artist who had a smash lead single, a great promotional campaign before the album's release and no tough competition on the release week. Did she even sell 100k worldwide?

Well, the Aussies still like Miss Sebert - it's gone to no. 12 there:

http://australian-charts.com/showite...=Warrior&cat=a

But the other chart placings aren't good. I think she tried to have it both
ways- she wants to be a pop star like Gaga or Minaj, but at the same time
she wanted credibility with the Pitchfork crowd by having Iggy Pop
and Wayne Coyne work on the album. So "Warrior" ended up falling between
two stools and impressing neither group of music fans.

It was bound to happen, this is the start of the end. No one actually gives a toss about her anymore. This will probably sell less than Christina's last effort.

Shame, fantastic album. Isn't as cheap as people who havn't actually heard it claim it to be.

Yes, I already know she sold about 85k in the US, which is the chart where she debuted at #6. Her peak positions in other big markets, like the UK, Germany etc are extremely low, so I'm not expecting a considerable boost in her overall worldwide sales. Maybe 120k if she's lucky...

It's stormed out of the top 100.

Flop, there is no question about it.
