LOL She is the far bigger and more successful star, but, as an artist... that may be another story. I was just likening her personal controversies as also not helping sales, just as they haven't with the two aforementioned acts. Fair enough...but I don't see the "artistry" thing as another story as the two haven't really proven what they represent to stand the test of time. I think that both controversial situations helped out there first week sales. Otherwise, I would not have blinked twice when I heard they were coming out with albums. I think demi got a lot of sympathy and her team played it right. Gavin unfortunately did not have he same outlet but I do think it raised his profile and made people more aware. But they are not eminem, beyonce or Britney that have proven to have a core base whether they are at their peak or not.

Poor Jason DeRulo, another Florida. Enrique, Jay Sean and Taio Cruz are other followers. Just stop releasing an album, some singles only or EP. It's weird how mainstream male artists find it more difficult to sell album than mainstream females even with big hits.

I'd exclude Enrique as he's an established act and had hits since 1999 and Euphoria did reach Top 10 after all - he's not like Flo Rida who missed top 100 altogether.
Jay Sean was never going the get several hits anyway.

Yes, we must appreciate Enrique, a 90s male artist who can stay relevant till today. But seeing how he had multiple big hits from Euphoria and the fact that he's already an established act, it's weird how he couldn't really sell his latest album.

I think he really didn't promote it that much as his other albums.

^When one has hit singles that get decent airplay, that's promo enough, no? In any event, didn't he appear on some of the main outlets? Nonetheless, I know that whenever I see him perform, it makes me even less interested in the music, if that's possible- so less promo from him may be a good thing.

^ Enrique's singles are what keeps him afloat in terms of radio success. His live performances don't work in his favor.

Yeah, but Lovato and Degraw's "controversy" had nothing to do with the work itself, so why would it drum up interest in the albums? Gavin had controversy ???
