It crossed my mind that a lot of big uptempo hits don't sell albums anymore;
Jlo - On The Floor
Probably the biggest hit of her career but the album sold only 300k
Britney Spears - The whole freaking era. Three top 10 hits and the album had a lot of trouble passing 700k. And the no promo isn't a excuse (look at beyonce, rihanna and adele)
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
Yes, the song JUST peaked but the album sales didn't blew up. The only effect it has is consistency, the album keeps selling a average of 18k a week. You would have think that such a big hit would let the album sales blow up like crazy, but it didn't.
Katy Perry - Teenage Dream Era
Six number ones and two million sold.... I think that says it all.
More examples:
LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem & Sexy and I know it
Flo Rida - Good Feeling
Maroon5 - Moves Like Jagger
Usher - OMG
Avril Lavigne - What The Hell
Jessie J - Domino
Nicki Minaj - Super Bass

Hac/AC Songs
Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone
All I Ever Wanted only sold 600k after the success of My Life Would Suck and hook up. Yes, already gone managed to sell 300k
Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All
It made the album sell 550k !! Only 50k less then the all I ever wanted era where both suck and hook up had peaked. Not to mention sales decreased over the last 2/3 years as well.
Adele - 21
Well I don't have to explain anything here lol
Avril Lavigne - Wish You Were Here
Even though it wasn't that successful, it still managed to let the album sell a 100k more.
More examples:
Beyonce - Best Thing I Never Had
Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are
Bruno Mars - Grenade
Paramore - The Only Exception
------------------
And I do mean HAC/AC as a genre not a format. What do you guys think ? Am I right or just overlooking things.
