Avril sold out and the results have not been good. Hope she learned her lesson.

Christina sold out too, then cleaned herself up and flopped just as badly as Avril is (even though I don't think either are flops). She had a #1 single on the Hot 100, 2 top 10 radio hits on pop, and this is her third single that JUST went for adds. Can Christina claim those things with her latest album? Not really. She had 2 top 10 radio singles on pop and that's it.

It's odd but that is completely true. She sold more when the public was bashing her (Stripped) then when she had them on her side(BTB). That's odd considering I felt that she had better material this time around.

I miss the old Christina and Avril. Stripped and Under My Skin were nothing short of amazing records, and their new records just don't have all that angst and passion. I still think they're above average CDs, but I really wanted them to be the stars of 2006 and 2007, and it didn't happen. I do think that even though the material on the new CDs wasn't as strong as what they've previously done, their slow second singles and long gap between each single hurt.
I think ThumbAx was probably right when he said that The Best Damn Thing is the album that best represents Avril's personality, but I'm hoping for more maturity from her, as with UMS, and hopefully she won't wait so long to release an album.
I still want Avril to have at least two more successful singles- I think she tends to be overlooked, and I'd like her to have a chance to shine like she did with "Girlfriend."

Avril sold out and the results have not been good. Hope she learned her lesson. The result is TBDT outsold B2B ! The video is climbing on itunes and doing pretty well. So i don't think Hot will flop because of the video ! May be because of the lyrics

Pink had the same thing with MIssundaztood and Try This, critics didnt like M!ss and she sold what 16 mill or something like that (at least thats what P!nk says )? And then critics loved Try This and it barely sold 3.5. Its odd how that happens.. well then again it all has to do with single choices and TT had the worst.

She's starting promotion for 'Hot', with Craig Ferguson coming up first on Monday. The AMAs & 'Dancing With The Stars' will be crucial to the song's chart performance.

She must fight with Westlife, Timbaland and Leona. Top 20 or Top Top 30 will be acceptable

I'm really worried about how its performing, however it could do what Girlfriend and just suddenly explode However I always said it wasn't the best choice, ICDB would have been the best! However they should release Runaway next! I think WYG lost a lot of momentum, which had exploded with Girlfriend.

I think Hot is what is losing the momentum! Like what a crappy choice, its so generic, and it sounds like something Avril or someone else has already done b4.. definitely not a good choice after WYG. I would have liked I Can Do Better as well. I think Runaway or ICDB should have been released instead of Hot and then end with Innocence. I was never a fan of Hot. It annoys me and I always skip it BUT I will say I dont mind it when Im watching the video.

No. 39 midweeks UK. This is going to chart lower than the dreadful 'He Wasn't'. She did zero promotion for it, oh well!

I hope they decide to release Runaway at some point. I think that will attract more of her UMS fans to purchase the album.

Avril did NOT sell out... people who think so are just strange.
People act like she went from a pure rock chick to a pure pop chick.. That isn't the case. She's NEVER been rock or punk.
There were songs on her debut album just as pop as these songs, and she even started out singing country songs, and was FOUND by Shania Twain..
People need to get their facts straight.

I would like Contagious and The Best Damn Thing as singles. Innocence is the best song of the album

This song is lame. It reminds me of Foxtrot by Bloodhound Gang which is a far superior song. LOL The video kind of bothers me too. Avril's hot but not in that glam way so it's kinda weird. Really don't like this album. Let Go is one of my all-time faves but her last two have pretty much stunk.
