VH1 Ten Biggest FLOPS of 2013

While Lady Gaga continues to spin Do What You Want around the toilet hoping it won't flush; or as she continues to lie to herself and the public about all the sales and successes of ARTPOP, we all know the truth. ARTPOP was a massive failure.  The failure was so grand that there is an unconfirmed rumor that Interscope had to lay off hundreds of employees because the record company spent too much money on the album.  It barely made a dent on the Billboard Charts and it flew up the irrelevancy barometer faster than a line of coke up Gaga's nose.

VH1 released it's list of the 10 biggest flops of 2013.  Behold, I present to you, the list.

10. 98 Degrees Reunion (no shit)

9. The Other Two Members Of Destiny’s Child (I honestly feel bad for these two for having to live constantly in BeYAWNce's shadow)

8. American Idol (Is this still on TV?)

7. Mariah Carey (I don't think her ego can handle her ego's ego)

6. Britney Spears, Britney Jean (Are we really that surprised after hearing Work Bitch?  Be honest)

5. Azealia Banks (Who?)

4. Kanye West, Bound 2 Music Video (He might have dodged this list if he accelerated to mach speed, jumped off the bike and let it go over a cliff off the Mulholland Highway.  With Kim K still on it of course)

3. Justin Timberlake, The 20/20 Experience Pt. II (I didn't know there was a Pt. I)

2. Lana Del Rey, Tropico Short Film (I'm torn about this one. The film is definitely self indulgent with no purpose at all. It wasn't made to accompany a new single but instead it was a 27 min long film with 3 of Del Rey's older songs. It seems like a reason for Lana to film herself. The cinematography is beautiful and Del Rey's lyrics are clever. I'll give her that.  Her music is much more mature and thought provoking than Caca's, by a country mile)

Which brings us to No.1.  Are you ready?  The No.1 spot goes to......

LADY GAGA - ARTPOP!!!


"Perhaps in a decade from now, fans and critics alike will look back on this album as something special for the music it delivered. Until then, Artpop will just be regarded as a massive commercial failure focused squarely too much on stunts and not on the music. Given how much Gaga outdoes herself with each new album, it is no surprise that Artpop buckled under the pressure. However no one is feeling the pain more than her record label, which sank $25 million into making this spectacle profitable while Lorde, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus easily ran away with all the success and the attention."
