Flop - Witness

Bomb - Smile

Bomb is much worse than a flop, obviously. 
 

Flop: Bionic 

Bomb: Lotus 

 

I say this as an Xtina stan 

From worse to worst:

 

Underperform

Flop

Bomb

 

Not sure where I would place tanked.

 

K bye for now, Sunshine. <3

I would say tanked is a song/album that had buzz or minimal success initially, but failed to take off and disappeared 

Flop: Romance
BOMB: Familia

k bye for now <3

For MPG's

Underperforming is like Chained To The Rhythm.

Flopping is like Marry The Night.

Bombing is like Spirit/American Oxygen.

Flop = Joanne

Bomb = Perfect Illusion 

 

Camila's latest album Famila bombed. 

 

K bye for now, Sunshine. <3

gaga has both so let’s ask her 

 

Bombing is like when your album doing like 200K total sales such as Double Douchess; Flopping is like ARTPOP, album sales is barely 500K. 

Bombing is like serving 98-OUT

Based on the logic of many users in this thread, the bomb is the second consecutive flop in a row.

 

A flop is lets say you sell like 50K week 1 and then spend like 15-20 weeks, a bomb is like 30K week 1 and then spend like 5-6 weeks on the charts

 

Flop: 50k first week sales: 15-20 weeks charting

Bomb: 30k first week sales: 5-6 weeks charting

flop is being used as underperforming these days whereas bombing... 

Flopping = ARTPOP, Witness, Here I Stand, Rebirth, American Life, Changes, aka albums that still moved a decent amount of units and had singles that charted in the Top 10, but were major underperformances compared to the albums that came before. But there is still a chance to score hits after this and have a comeback.

 

Bombing = Bionic, Hard II Love, Brave, Glitter, Just Whitney, The Spirit Indestructible, My December, Double Dutchess, Damita Jo, Britney Jean, aka career-killer level of floppage (although some select few manage to have a comeback), no real hits, destroys the artist's status as a leading figure of music.

Smile is actually catching up to Witness in units and is doing more streams daily. Both of those albums will end up with 3M+ units. Far from the mega bombs they are often accused of being.

Spot-on!

 

I would say term 'tanked' is inherently adjacent to what we call a 'front-loaded' release.

 

I am a Liddo but we can all frankly agree BTW (the song) had tanked after impressive 6-week no.1 run before its pop-culture revisionism revival Gaga has spanned after her 2017 Halftime show.
