Dropped with no video. According to YouTube this video was released in 1998. FOMFBOMB released on 12/22/1998. Unless, this video dropped after that, I stand corrected. Also, "Slippin" dropped in 1998 as well before the album.

How so? you are admittedly telling me that I was correct about the singles, and the album sales. I didn't selectively apply anything. I mean, for all intents and purposes, I repeatedly pointed out how Missy had a bigger first week (a couple thousand more) than her previous record and you IGNORED this fact and continued to call it a flop.
What do you mean no proof has been given?
I posted the first week chart positions, how the singles performed, the time it took for the albums to be certified platinum. How is that not proof? And if that’s not proof, what would be proof?
Because none of that justifies a flop. First week chart positions are based on a number of factors. What else was out at the time and who else dropped on that day affect chart positions and don't necessarily spell flop. And if we are taling into consideration the time it takes an album to go platinum, that also doesn't spell flop especially if you're not being consistent with applying this to other artists.
Breh, you're in here ignoring your own criteria. Criteria you framed to justify Missy flopping. My criteria is criteria that I have used and applied to other albums. I have been in various albums where someone jumped the gun on calling an album a flop from Nas to Drake to whoever. And I think I've remained pretty consistent, which I can't say the same for you.
Because you ignored the first week sales/chart position for X. Therefore, selective application.
I addressed your point about Missy before you even made it by pointing out that her sales should have been higher in 99. Turns out they were marginally higher but resulted in a #10 debut compared to #3 in 97. That’s significant.
So what are the criteria for a flop then? What is the evidence we should be considering if everything I pointed to is irrelevant?
Sure. A number #3 one week can be #4 the next.
But you’d agree the greater the difference the less likely correct?
Which criteria did I ignore with regard to which album? Please be specific.
Which is what? Beyond album sales at the end of album cycle? That’s all I recall you saying in this thread. What else is there?
Missy's album.
And you're moving goal posts. What justifies her sales should be higher in 1999?
You continue to prove you don't know what you're talking about. You can't compare 1997 to 1999. Two different time periods. A #3 in 1997 has no bearing on a #10 in 1999. It is insignificant and pretty much comparing apples to oranges. And to give you an example of how ludicrous it is, Missy's
Da Real World was competing against Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin, a Limp Bizkit album that debuted with sales of 650K the same week Missy's album dropped. The week Supa Dupa Fly dropped, the Men In Black soundtrack was her competition selling 169K.
Which criteria did I ignore?
