I've been reading alot about older women in the industry and they just aren't fairing that well. Even Reba Mcentires last album only sold about 250,000. Course it didn't have a single that got played to death like her Duets album. However, Country fans really support their artists. It should of done better. Sheryl Crows last album only sold 150,000 in the US. I think Melissa Ehtridge last album did about the same or a little worse. Hole's album Nobody's Daughter (which is actually a really good rock record) was considered one of the biggest commercial flops of 2010, selling only 22,000 copies in its first week. Crows and Ethridge albums sold like 50k avg starting out then tanked like hot potatoes. Hearts album did not fair well.
