They should have promoted it more. Shes really not a bad single at all. With a video and some radio she could have done ok. I saw her on Mun2 (spanish music video chanel), but she didn't sing or anything.

I wouldn't call this a bomb. Who exactly is going to buy this album? It's in Spanish, and most of the WWE's fan base has no interest in it, regardless if they understand the language. Now, to non-fans, they have no idea who Lillian Garcia is, and there was zero promotion for it. 4,000 copies isn't bad. I bet thats better then most indie-artists who don't have powerful record comapnys to promote them.

She's an employee of a tasteless coporation and she expected people to run out and buy her album?
She should've signed with Death Row. She might've stood a chance.

The World Champion couldn't make a successful album, surely the ring announcer could??

She sang in Spanish. What did you expect? Shakira's album was in Spanish before it was released in English but that didn't bomb. So, yeah...no excuses, really. Stop 10 people on the street at random. Ask them if they've ever heard of Shrieky and Lillian. No one will have heard of Lillian, but we all know Shrieky.

I can't even stand her when she's ring announcing.
Let alone listening to an entire Spanish album.

Not gonna bash her, but low sales aren't really a surprise. She can sing, but in a sea of hyper promoted singers and sexually charged personalities, a woman in her early 30's singing latino music on a wrestling show isn't going to get noticed.

Actually, if it hit 3800, that's about 3000 more than I thought it would.
Heck, the WWE themselves hardly promoted it. And it got zero mention outside of the wrestling world.
For those reasons, and all the reasons mentioned above, it's no surprise this happened. In fact, as I just said, I think they should be very happy with the 3800 that did sell.

I probably would've bought it if it featured Randy Savage rapping on 1 or 2 tracks.

Two more comments:
1) I don't think that the only people who would buy it are people who can understand Spanish, because I have listened to plenty of songs in other languages. I used to love that song "Du Hast" by Rammstein even though I didnt know what he was talking about. As long as it's a good song, I don't get hung up on being able to understand the words.
2) Her name is spelled Lilian and not Lillian. Just figured this was as good a place as any to say that.

Surely you can't be comparing Shakira to Lilian Garcia. That's like comparing Ian Hume to Wayne Rooney on why Hume doesn't sell as many football jerseys.

Two posts above yours is my reply, but I basically meant that because an album is in Spanish doesn't mean it can't sell

Yeah....I didn't see this going anywhere to be honest.
Now had she been on Smackdown! who's main viewing audience is supposedly a Hispanic audience, the whole part about the entire album being in spanish might be more appealing.
*I sware when I glanced at the thread title it said: Lillian's album boobs
