Diva Vault: DIVAS Comeback Part One
Being a Top Selling singer doesn't mean you will always be On Top...sometimes you are on TOP and sometimes you are not... Well being DIVAs doesn't mean they are immune to ups and down...Mariah Carey, World Biggest Selling Artist in The 90's experience career BREAKDOWN when her first album with new label Virgin Record called Glitter,became her LOWEST SELLING ALBUM in her entire career and became industry joke of the year. No OTHER DIVAs experience career breakdown and embarrassment the way that Carey experienced..At that time, all music critics and people in the industry already counted her out and said her career was OVER..
Whitney Houston.. unlike Mariah, Whitney already experienced a career breakdown soon as her drug problems was made known to the public.Plus her Oscar controversy, being too skinny etc...many said that her career was in trouble..Perhaps they are right...Because, eventhough soon after she secured a 100$ million recording deal with Arista. Her 5th studio album Just Whitney became her LOWEST SELLING ALBUM and since then..whitney seems to retire from MUSIC scene...Post Just Whitney era was filled was filled with her drug issues and marriage problems with Bobby Brown..which is now her Ex-hubby.
Britney Spears, world pop sensation experience career breakdown when she tied the knoT with Now ex-hubby Kevin Federline...since then, her life is full with controversy and it never stop...then Britney was set to ignite back her stalling career with her new album called Blackout..which was released soon after her divorcement with Kevin was finalized..Blackout was set to return Britney to her pop throne..But unfortunately with her drunk and out of shape debut performance at MTV VMA and lack of promotion due to Britney controversy. Blackout became her lowest selling studio album...

TheDivaJuice: Britney Spears actually had the potential to turn Blackout into one of her successful albums. But due to her, had lost intention to promote her album..The album left with no promotion and only supported with singles released. This is the only released that Britney didn't go on tour to support.
