According to both Billboard and trusted sources, Lopez will sell around 65,000 copies of her album “Love ?” when sales figures are officially released next week!
One day sales totals reveal Lopez will fall well below Adele, whose “21″ album is projected to top the Billboard 200 chart yet again, weeks after its release, with up to another 120,000 copies sold.
While Lopez’s album, served up with tracks like “On The Floor” and “I’m Into You,”it’s odd she is seeing numbers this low.

Lady Gaga Producer Talks Born This Way Album
"She asked me to musically direct the album with her. Basically, that means for me, that meant to push her vision out for these records, for the album, but every song is really special. Every song tells almost like a musical. It just kind of keeps going forward.
"We did this [dance] song that possibly might be the third single; it's called 'Marry the Night.' It's probably one of my favorite songs on the album. It tells about being yourself and individuality and never forgetting who you are.
What's interesting is that the great thing about dance songs is for me most of the time they start off as ballads and that's the approach I've been trying to keep going.
Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite 2011 Tour Finally Hits The States
Minogue played "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (with a rock twist, no less), but the set list was littered with equally infectious dance tracks, from "In My Arms" to "Wow," to which her diehard fans knew every word.
"All The Lovers," which Minogue used to close the night as confetti rained upon the crowd, provided a spectacular grand finale.
Monday night proved that, at 42, Minogue is still an under-appreciated musical force, and one that should not be missed on an all-too-rare U.S. trek.

Katy Perry Graces The June 2011 Cover Of Vanity Fair
On her career:
“My career is like an artichoke. People might think that the leaves are tasty and buttered up and delicious, and they don’t even know that there’s something magical hidden at the base of it. There’s a whole other side [of me] that people didn’t know existed.”
On leaving behind her born-again upbringing:
“I didn’t have a childhood. Growing up, seeing Planned Parenthood, it was considered like the abortion clinic. I was always scared I was going to get bombed when I was there…. I didn’t know it was more than that, that it was for women and their needs. I didn’t have insurance, so I went there and I learned about birth control.”
On her parents:
“I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up. Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don’t try to change them anymore, and I don’t think they try to change me. We agree to disagree.
Billboard's Track-by-Track Review Of J.Lo's 'Love?' Album
Here is Billboard's Twitter-length track-by-track review of each song.
1. "On the Floor" -- Long overdue J.Lo/Pitbull collab reveals said floor's versatility over crisp synths. Donkey Kong/Tonka Truck/Lambada nostalgia, anyone?
2. "Good Hit" - For the kids. "Pieces of Me"-esque Auto-Tune use and neck-snapping beat keeps momentum going nicely, but Nicki Minaj, Jennifer is not.
3. "I'm Into You" - Dancehall groove, breezy verses and come-hither hook is perfect for sun-soaked, summertime road trips. Weezy cameo FTW.

Shania Twain Talks Divorce On The Oprah Winfrey Show
"I didn't want to live," she tells Oprah Winfrey of being told that then-husband Robert "Mutt" Lange was having an affair with her assistant and close friend, Marie-Anne Thiebaud, in an interview airing Tuesday.
Now, the singer says the dissolution of that 14-year marriage was "a very positive thing." Adds Twain: "a very positive thing." Adds Twain: "I needed the wake-up."
Though she doesn't know the details of the alleged affair to this day – the couple has never admitted infidelity – the country superstar, 45, tells Winfrey she tried to get answers and even wanted her husband back. At one point, she recalls writing to Marie-Anne and asking, "Why are you torturing me? Let it go, please," she said. "Find love somewhere else from someone else."
"I know it was pathetic," Twain says of the letter. "But we all have pathetic moments. No one is above this type of low."
