Godney'sSweetCheeks Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I'm so glad 95% of Exhale (including myself!) loves Glory and I'm absolutely proud of Britney for making the album. Critics were also impressed on the whole. Commercially (so far) it hasn't done so well. I worry about what Britney will do next. Will she stop making studio albums for a long time? Will she pull another BJ because why should she put so much effort in when sales are no better than BJ sales? Or will she get back in the studio with those who always give her hits like Max Martin and Danja? Hopefully Glory will rebound once single #2 comes out, but if it doesn't - what will Britney's next move be? (Apart from Vegas!) Link to comment
DJSLAYZEE Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I hope it rebounds but I hear people talk about it and how surprisingly good it is, maybe it's a slow burner. But Madonna and bunch of singers release a great creative critic acclaimed album (American Life) and the next one is the successful AND creative (Confessions of a Dancefloor) Link to comment
Blackout Fan Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Well 111 K on the first week is far from being a flop nowadays ... Not a smash either but... nothing alarming. And... it's not like they went crazy on the promo and production either, the only money loss they faced was the scrapped video. Link to comment
Denise Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Commercially, the albums in general don't sell anymore! Every artist has this problem Link to comment

Yeah week 1 was OK tbh, it's more what's happened since that worries me. And with all the festivals and TV she's done recently, I did expect the album to get more of a boost Link to comment

david lachapelle Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 i don't know... i haven't met not even ONE person that knows britney even released an album... i hope the really low sales won't affect the rest of the era. Link to comment
Doug Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I don't even care about sales anymore, Glory is solid as ****, she's promoting like a pro, it's everything I ever wanted from her. At this point I'm thinking Glory is Britney's Charmbracelet. It's amazing, with mildly successful hits and it's building a new creative path for the real defining one that will be B10/The Emancipation of BritBrit. The only thing she and her team need to improve for the next album is the imagery and creative concept as a whole, musically she's going on the right direction. Link to comment
Guest I Think I'm Ready Now Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Glory is doing well, considering Make Me wasn't a success and the video flopped. That poor album has no real hit, give it a break Link to comment

HotAsIce.ve Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I love Glory it's one of her best albums along with Blackout & In The Zone, but if after the 2nd single the album is still dead on the charts, I think the Best Commercial move she can do now since she is interested on promote is a Back To Back Album again, I mean new album next year (Like BOMT-OIDIA-Britney & Blackout-Circus) Link to comment

Artsy Fartsy Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 the main reason why Glory flopped is because her reputation is still damaged by BJ/Desert Tour, and I think the Glory Era has the main purpose of "cleaning" her image. Link to comment

Compare to the average she is still selling great and way enough to stay in the business. Comparing her to the best selling artists of the moment will only hurts and won't bring anything relevant.

But now she need clean her image from the Make Me MV I think the smart move is release another album the next year. All this promo will build a good hype for her next release! Link to comment
