Going from 700k album sales to 350k in one year is still a pretty huge drop, and her digital sales are dropping from what I can tell, too. But yeah, she's still really big just seemingly past her peak now. Unless she achieves a second peak a la Namie which...I doubt.

In the end I'm not worrying about PQ though, 150k are already perfectly fine sales most artists can only dream of and I'm convinced she can reach that, this album was a gigantic risk in more than just one way AND not promoted much.
