She never compared herself with the hot young artists of today, who, by the way, are not selling nearly as much as they would have ten years ago. Yes, it is rather disappointing that a new album by an artist who has purportedly sold 140 million albums worldwide can barely sell a few copies of a new release. Facts are facts, and it would have been rather bizarre for her to pretend that IYD was a big hit when it wasn't.

Yes she is being honest about the record sales.But in just about every interview she stressed the fact that she is only doing this for herself,it was the best year of her life,she was so sad to see it end,blah,blah,blah.And not to mention she said "why else would I be doing this-I DON'T NEED THE MONEY".We all know how she changes her stories-that's not surprising.But after all those heartfelt statements she made about IYD,this is like a slap in the face to her fans.
