The release of her new album Lotus was supposed to be a glorious victory lap for Christina Aguilera. After the dual duds of 2010′s critical and commercial failures Bionic and Burlesque, the once-platinum-plated pop star set out to reinvent herself: She divorced her husband of five years, became a coach on the hit series The Voice, and recommitted herself to her music.
Only part of that plan seems to be working for her. While her visibility factor is way up thanks to the big ratings for The Voice, it’s still bad news at the cash register. Final numbers won’t be in until next week, but right now, album sales tracking service Hits Daily Double is currently projecting Lotus will sell somewhere between 75 and 80 thousand copies in its opening week.

I forsee her having an "Emancipation of Mimi"-esque comeback in the next 3-5 years, but at least for the moment, her music career is done.

Lotus is a flop. Why isn't Christina Aguilera selling more albums?

I think she can still turn things around.
those same people don't even purchase most of the voice contestants' material, why would they buy the judges' just because?
Lotus was just mediocre. maybe if it was promoted and Xtina was actually, sort of, likeable it would have done better. who knows?
just for convenience
no one likes esta pendeja in latin america
No tea No shade but as much as y'all hate on Christina...you expect a lot out of her. Unlike*calm yourselves* Britney. I am a fan of both but I will keep it real. We expect more from Christina. You accept bare minimum from Britney cuz at least it's something. We really know nothing of her....her fave color and drink. Very basic things. With Chris she always shared more of herself. We know more so we want her to do more. From Christina it isn't acceptable to not perform perfectly. If she went on stage and did nothing y'all would slay her. She'd never work again probably. You call her unlikeable for how she is on her show but accept Britney not really saying much more than 'awesome'. It's two different standards. I'm not saying either is right or wrong but we need to acknowledge that it is there.
Her favorites colors are baby blue, and pink.
Her favorite drink is coke/pepsi and starbucks.
