No, her sales have been dropping since the Free&Easy single (The Daybreak single was limited so let's leave that out). The more significant drop in sales for the B&D single was probably due to the fact that everyone knew her album was coming out within weeks of the single's release and that the album would contain both new songs on that single. Her later remix albums have had sales that pale in comparison to her earlier ones, does this mean that the quality of the remixes in these later albums are necessarily worse? I don't think so (though I may be very, very wrong here because I will admit that I sometimes am unable to tell remixes apart)

And yep, I'm not exactly claiming that her recent music's excellent, but I like it well enough, the music makes me happy.
