Nirvana’s Nevermind debuted at 144 and became the success it is. 
 

Maroon 5’s Songs About Jane took 11 months to even chart, two years before it entered the top 10. 
 

Jewel’s debut initially failed to chart but blew up two years later after a tour with Bob Dylan. 
 

 

Ahhh...f_ck I love Jewel. 

Where is she what is she doing?

Pink's The Truth About Love immediately comes to mind.

Again, Blow Me was a top 5 hit, the album was her first number 1 with her biggest first week sales, I dunno where anyone gets flop from that.

And Willow by Taylor Swift went #1 yet it was still pretty much a flop. Chart peaks don't mean anything.

Stripped by Xtina

I'm not Dead by Pink

4 by Beyonce

Oral Fixation Vol 2

[Mystic Boy]

I'm Not Dead is really the only fitting one i think along with The Fame 

They truly started flopping and ended being a smash.

 

Bday opened with over 500k and 4 with over 300k that's not a flop

 

Rated R never ended being a smash,Rude Boy made the era descent but never a smash.
