Aug 29 2006Paris Hilton's CD is a flop

Just in case you completely lost faith in humanity, Paris Hilton's album Paris is reportedly a raging flop. So far it's sold only 75,000 copies in its first week compared to Christina Aguilera's 320,000, and projected sales for next week are 30,000 - which is a larger than normal second week drop.
"The international outlook is not much better for her," one industry source told Page Six. "The international people are not inclined to do a big push since she can't back up the album with a tour. Obviously, she can't sing live." The source added that Hilton was advised a year ago to train her voice, work with choreographers and learn an instrument to prepare for a limited tour, but "obviously she didn't listen." Hilton's rep, Elliot Mintz, said, "To me, [the album] sounds huge. For a newcomer, this is incredibly impressive."
I'm glad Paris Hilton's CD is failing, but 75,000 still seems like 74,996 sales too many. This isn't like Joey Fatone releasing a solo album because at least he's technically a singer. This is Paris Hilton we're talking about. Paris Hilton. My butcher is more qualified to record an album than she is. And he was born without a mouth.

Did we REALLY expect anything different? I think not.
2. dupababy - August 29, 2006 9:00 AM
hmmm... wonder how she's going to continue to "keep" herself in the upscale manner in which she's accustomed herself with these measly numbers... since we all know that she's worked hard to pay for her lifestyle all on her own.. without momslut and daddycracker.. yeah right.. with this kind of financial solvency she might need to turn to the pages of "ask the stingy bitches"..

This bitch's album is hot fire! I put it next to Dark Side of the Moon, Zeppelin IV, and OK Computer.

Maybe Paris and Federline should try a duo album.

her agent bought the 75,000 copies and threw it in the middle of the atlantic.

It's not going to slow her down one bit.
10. jrzmommy - August 29, 2006 9:16 AM
Hint hint Paris. Get it? No one fucking likes you and you can't sing. I'll say it slowly for you..... O V E R E X P O S E D.
and that gigantic "CLINK" you all just heard was Hohan, Nicole Richie and Shannen Doherty having themselves a toast.
11. shameshame - August 29, 2006 9:19 AM
haa! she thought this was going to make her rich...she even went to fat joe and said she was going platinum! and read the post article!
"...Meanwhile, Hilton's reputation as a dirty girl put one of her former sex partners on edge after they'd been to bed together.
Elijah Blue Allman, the hunky son of Cher and Gregg Allman, boasted to Howard Stern the other day that he had a fling with Hilton before she was famous - but he got nervous right afterward that he might have picked up a sexually transmitted disease from her. Allman says he was so worried, he raced downstairs and grabbed a household cleaning product to pour over his private parts and "disinfect" them.
While Stern flipped over the tawdry tale, aired over his Sirius Satellite Radio raunchfest show, Hilton wasn't thrilled with the disclosure. "She's not happy about it," said a source, despite the fact Allman tried to lessen the low blow by noting she was a "sweet girl" nonetheless."

I heard the Sirius broadcast. Specifically, he said that he "TILEXED" his wang.
14. Xopher.tm - August 29, 2006 9:26 AM
"Elijah Blue Allman, the hunky son of Cher and Gregg Allman"...?
I've never heard the word "hunky" used to describe him before. I mean, you may think he's "cute" or even "hot" ('cos, you know, to each his own...), but doesn't "hunky" imply at least a modicum of machismo? Elijah Blue, after all, has spent a significant portion of his life in heels and a skirt.
15. MyWellRehearsedMistake - August 29, 2006 9:35 AM
I don't know what to be more worried about. The fact that 75,000 people bought Paris' album (lets hope they were all 'just curious' and are gonna take 'em all back next week) or that the Superfish has a butcher without a mouth. How does he tell you the price of things? Or tell you to Have A Nice Day? Unless it's just a nickname and the Superfish is friends with a mutant serial killer. In which case can he encourage him to go after Hohan and Parasite?
(I don't feel that I need to comment on the fact that Paris' album is a flop - that comes as no surprise to any of us.)
16. jrzmommy - August 29, 2006 9:38 AM
Paris bought all 75,000 copies herself, too.
17. Ms. Sass - August 29, 2006 9:39 AM
I'm more than happy to hear this news. Maybe now she'll fade away with Britney Spears (and waiting patiently, Jessica Simpson)! Her music sucks, she's an ass/slut and her only fan is herself!
18. saltpeanuts - August 29, 2006 9:39 AM
People must think you can catch the Herp from a CD. Actually 75k is a good amount of sales for a new musical "artiste".
19. ILovePapaSmurf - August 29, 2006 9:44 AM
Well, it looks like it's time for Paris to get back to doing what she does best - sex tapes. Good job Paris. I'm looking forward to catching a few STDs watching the sequel.

Call me a romantic, but I always thought that the Antichrist would be birthed from the ass of a talking black goat with a thousand teats. Once grown, the enemy of mankind would finance her own vanity album, and the world would ACTUALLY BUY IT- ushering in the age of darkness and the doom of mankind.
Wow, guess we dodged a bullet on that one!
23. biatcho - August 29, 2006 9:59 AM
If I actually thought that she felt an ounce of humility or shame I would feel bad for saying that I do hope this makes her choke on her own sick & die.

Excellent. Now when I go to the $2.99 rack at my local CD shop this December, I can get all of those people I hate, but am nonetheless obligated to buy a gift for, this musical work of wonder. It's almost as classless and subtle as giving them a Merry Fuck You card with a picture of baby Jesus flipping the bird.
#3 & #8 - HA!!!!!!!
27. PunjabPete - August 29, 2006 10:14 AM
"work with choreographers"
What do they mean? I saw her video and she could dance... right? No seriously, right? Dance? Anyone?
Can you imagine her trying to sing her over digitized COMPLETELY manipulated song Stars are Blind on an actual stage? I bet Wanda down at the local pub could belt out a better rensition on Karaoke night...
28. Glossed Over - August 29, 2006 10:15 AM
Must be Paris' sullied reputation that's causing lackluster sales--lack of singing ability certainly hasn't stopped Britney or Ashlee from selling millions of albums.

29. Jedi Kevin - August 29, 2006 10:15 AM
I'll bet her publicist bought 70,000 of them.

31. HolisticWisdomcom - August 29, 2006 10:18 AM
Paris actually work for a living... Pleazzzze! No real voice... totally digital, no real talent other than showing up late and looking conceded. She should stick to her sex tapes. Too bad she is going celibate for a year. The only saving grace of that is STD prevention.

32. PunjabPete - August 29, 2006 10:18 AM
28 - Never thought I would do this but I have to defend Bri...but only a little. She actually can sing. Whether the music is good or not... You really have to be into that crap I think. Of course the only singing she does not is shouting out the names of her favorite Little Debbie snack items to he Manny at top volume so she won't have to get off the couche. That is still singing, right?
33. PunjabPete - August 29, 2006 10:19 AM

And to think, her death in House of Wax showed such promise.

This one time I got a CD in the mail from some animal rights group. It was an hour-long recording of dogs in the pound howling. It was supposed to alert you to the plight of the tortured animals or something.
Anyway I figure it's about the same thing as this CD.
38. RichPort - August 29, 2006 10:32 AM
I bet the stupid bitch cries everytime she hears the CD now.
39. Moon43215 - August 29, 2006 10:34 AM
I liked her song, but I mean really, it is just the samllest bit of her and the rest is music magic, i'd love to hear her sing for real, I bet it truly sucks. But the song stands alone as an interesting little tune.
40. sikofdis - August 29, 2006 10:36 AM
I'm a professional musician and WAS having a pretty bad day... then I read this story and now believe that there is (occasionally) justice in the world...
She's a c%#t, I hate her and I hope she dies (still some residual bad-day vibes)
41. bigponie - August 29, 2006 10:39 AM

so you would like to hear her sing, are you crazy, this is the extent of her singing talent...her song list
three little pigs,
london bridge is falling down,
the bugs bunny music theme,
and lets not forget ABC's alphabet song
so do enjoy her music.
42. jrzmommy - August 29, 2006 10:44 AM

You mean to tell me that this vapid whore can't sell more than one of the best female vocalists in the music industry today.
For shame Pais...for shame.
46. spatz - August 29, 2006 10:54 AM
honestly who would spend money on this garbage when theres other garbage by at least half talented singers one can spend money on. i think if she promised a tour things would be different. people are stupid but not THAT stupid. its so obvious she has absolutley no business recording music. end of story.
47. Kitty - August 29, 2006 10:56 AM
I don't know if 75,000 is a lot for a new artist or not. What I do know is she promoted the hell out of that album so 75,000 is a flop compared to every other new artist on the planet who isn't an over-exposed talentless whore.

51. UNWASHEDMASSES - August 29, 2006 11:05 AM
How long before the spin kicks into overdrive? Before she's spouting off comparable numbers in interviews, comparing her first album sales to other artists (neglecting that they had zero recognition or promotion). Then, when that fails, blaming people like us - the Internet - for spreading malicious lies about her that doomed the disc from day one. Why doesn't daddy just bail her out and buy up 200,000 copies? They can pipe it into the Hilton's hotel bathrooms as music to shit by.
52. sirap - August 29, 2006 11:06 AM
We need to support p.h. on this one. Go buy a CD. If she sells a few more, maybe she will be convinced she can sign live (SNL???).
That is when all the fun will begin.

58. jrzmommy - August 29, 2006 11:40 AM
She's constantly posing. Her and Anna Nicole Smith and Airforce Amy are always doing these bizarre gesticulations and poses. They're like weird fembots programmed to just pose instead of moving normally.

# 26 - OMG, what a good idea. I had some crap already stowed away for bad gift occasions, but Paris' CD beats them all. $2.99 is the upper end of what I'd be willing to pay. Guess it's off to the bargain bin at CD Warehouse for me.
61. sweetcheeks - August 29, 2006 12:38 PM
I plan on stuffing stockings with Paris' failed CD and Britney Spears' coffee table book, "Stages." You can find her book at dollar stores everywhere, and as make-shift pillows under the heads of homeless drunks on Madison Avenue. GAG gift, indeed.

HAHA...her album only sold 75,000 copies because her daddy probably bought them all...spoiled little rich girl!
Well, actually...now that I think about it, not all...he only bought the first 70,000.
The other 5,000 were bought by all the guys she has banged.
94. Dirt McGirt - August 30, 2006 2:01 AM
Oh, Bollocks, and don't even TRY to compare her to Joey Fat-One. In my country, the United States of America, he is a GOD. More like THE GOD. Well, even though her CD was a flop, she still has herpes, the gift that keeps giving!
95. AmberDextrose - August 30, 2006 2:47 AM
Just goes to show that whilst stars might indeed be blind, the general public are not deaf. Apart from those who bought the album.
Still, 75,000 people with more money than sense is actually fewer than I thought existed globally. Oh happy day.
96. Godiva - August 30, 2006 5:32 AM
I think Ms. Hilton needs to take a break. She "singlehandely" developed two frangrances (that are frankly nothing special,) she was on a reality show that possessed some of the worst acting I've ever seen (especially in the season finale,) and now put out this album that sounds like something Radio Disney would put out.
She needs to stay home, truly keep her legs closed for a whole year and actually do something worthwhile instead of posing while having the expression of a corpse.
97. pgoric - August 30, 2006 6:08 AM
I don't know if someone else already mentioned this, but a sale of 75,000 records is not a sale to 75,000 people. It's presale to record stores.
What this shows is record stores were not very willing to buy the record.
Actually, it says the same about Christina Aguillera's record sales, (i.e. that 320,000 reflects preorders from record stores) but whose records are we more likely to see in the bargain bin next year?
98. Shaun - August 30, 2006 7:30 AM
LOL @ poster #3.
Maybe Paris and K-Fed could put something together. It would sell just to see how bad they did.
99. wedgeone - August 30, 2006 8:12 AM
What's even more tragic about this whole situation is that club DJ's are leading the charge for her record sales:
http://billboard.com/bbcom/retrieve_chart_history.do?model.vnuArtistId=699848&model.vnuAlbumId=788893
She must have promised oral to every club DJ in NYC for playing her music. She's flexible enough to fit under the booth, right? She's like that whore in the podium from the movie Police Academy.
REAL musicians in NYC and LA who are waiting tables because they can't get their break are currently jumping off of bridges like lemmings because of her album. History will remember her like Jim Jones for causing mass suicide.
BTW - #54 - I laughed so hard to your post that I almost got sent home from work.

Fuck all of you - her CD is AWESOME...I use it to scrape up dog turds in my backyard that the scooper can't get - it's also great for cleaning that black gunk around the bottom of my toilet that the brush can't get - so just fuck off and quit picking on Paris, because her CD fuckin' ROCKS, 'kay??
103. ToiletDuck - August 30, 2006 4:19 PM
She should have called the CD "Wet Panties" and included a pair of her used panties along with the CD - I am not a marketing guru by any means, but I am sure it would boost sales and a lot of 40-something single guys would have something to sniff besides the bicycle seats at the local Catholic Girls' School...
104. bogdana - September 1, 2006 7:19 PM
