in 10 years, AL will finally get the recognition it deserves. I remember when Erotica came out everyone thought it was the worst album ever, yet now it is commonly regarded as one of Madonna's best once the Sex book had been far enough in the past that people actually finally put the album on and listened to it and not held the era against her. Most people who say the album sucks never actually heard the thing.

90% of the music on the chart right now is crap. Outkast, No Doubt and Alicia Keys are the only songs in the top 10 that are worth a damn IMO. If anything, "sucks" is probably the best way to boost an album nowadays. So you can't say the album flopped because it was bad, because apparently it wasn't BAD ENOUGH considering some of the horror that is on the chart now.

Home fell off the Billboard top 200 after only 57 weeks, both Fly and Wide Open Spaces spent 2+ years on the chart. Also their popularity on the catalogue chart has dropped considerable. Fly and WOS were always in the top 3 of the "Country Catalog" sellers, and usually in the top 20 Pop Catalog as well before the Bush comment. Whereas on last week's Billboard, Fly was #17 and WOS was #20 on the Country Catalog chart, neither scanning enough to make the Pop Catalog chart. It really did hurt their sales a lot and it seems like they lost a lot of clout over it.

American Life wasn't one of Madonna's best albums, but Like A Virgin was her worst album ever and look at all the hits that album had. I do think Nothing Fails and Love Profusion both could've become hits if Clear Channel (which is 80%+ of the radio stations out there) DIDN'T boycott the album.

I still don't think that Home's sales were greatly affected by their comments. I agree, "Nothing Fails" and "Love Profusion" are CLEARLY the best tracks from American Life, but there is no way they could of become hits, they weren't released to radio.

"Love Profusion" was only used for the Estee Lauder commercials.

actually, Nothing Fails was released to radio back in November or so, and a maxisingle came out a few weeks later. Love Profusion was just released to radio a week or two back and it too is coming out as a maxisingle in about 3 weeks. But if Nothing Fails couldn't get more than 50 spins across the entire nation in it's peak week, I don't think Love Profusion is going to be any more successful.

Wow... so this is very recent, I didn't know that. I guess Madonna is still hanging on to this album.

"Nothing Fails" isn't radio-friendly so I'm not surprised, but "Love Profusion" at least has a chance for success, let's see how it will do.

i wish everyone would ****ing shut the hell up about it. youre just giving justin timbersh-t more of the attention hes looking for. but if you just want to call him a liar and bash him, continue please.

They are both total lowlife losers. They insulted the intelligence of the American people.

Who cares if she apologized? This was not a mere "mistake." It was obviously planned and done completely for attention. Shame, shame, shame.

Exactly and exactly. They obviously wanted to compete with the britney and madonna thing and i cannot even believe they did it at the superbowl where millions of families are watching. the superbowl is supposed to be g-rated, justin ****erlake. i find it so hilarious that after he got tons of crap, he said it was an accident. oh, well if you just accidently reached over and tore of part of her shirt then i understand. what a dumb ******. i want to tell him that to his face and make him feel even worse.

But it isn't the publicity/attention he was looking for, he is getting nothing but negative press. Although Janet's new single is doing great, his album is continuing to go down the drains (after a great run, respectively.) Even fellow celebrities are going against him, I was watching all those gossip shows ("Access Hollywood," "Entertainment Tonight," "Good Day Live," etc.,) and no one had one good thing to say about him. Jamie Foxx straight out called him a sissy.

The parents need to look themselfs in the mirror. It is not Janet Jackson job to parent your kids. And to all of the Joe Starsburgh of the world, you can go to hell. She didn't hurt anybody, unlike your hero George W. Bush, who sent americans under false pretensous to die in Iraq.

CBS, NFL, and Justin Timberlake need to take responsibilty as well. Especially Timberlake.

The people that refuse to take blame, and the hyppocrits need to reevaluate themselfs.

This is overblown, and we need to move on.

Poor Janet. They are just going after her like dogs to raw meat. If it was Britneys breast that was exposed it wouldn't have been this big of a deal. And why isn't anyone punshing Justin. He ripped it off and exposed her. She didn't rip it off herself.

Yes they would of. And if it was Britney who had her breast exposed, they wouldn't give her as much trouble as they are giving Janet.
