Most Monumental Album Flops: No. 16
- Posted by Spinner
'I'm in You'
Peter Frampton, 1977
Rise: The former U.K. teen idol grew up fast with the double LP 'Frampton Comes Alive!,' still one of the best-selling live albums of all time.
Fall: Despite the presence of Stevie Wonder, 'I'm in You' was creamed by the critics. The subsequent 'Sgt. Pepper' film fiasco and a near-fatal car crash effectively creamed Frampton's career.
Stats: 'Frampton Comes Alive!' (1976), 6 million; 'I'm in You,' 1 million

Frampton Comes Alive sales I'm sure were around 18 million.His recent recording are very impressive.FCA was very uplifting music for the times.I do agree with Rommel....best guitar licks were with Humble Pie.

I'm sure it's a typo that Frampton's Live album sold 6 millions copies...wasn't it more like 16 million?
Calling "I'm in You" a flop was inevitable, given the enormous success of "Frampton Comes Alive".

Frampton looked damned good back then. He was smokin' hot!! Today he looks horrible.

Who makes up these lists? I would say they are more of a flop than Frampton's second LP.

Wait a minute, here!!! This was a great "ballad-ish" song from Frampton, and it didn't do bad at all, sales-wise. I agree with the aformementioned sentiment - "I hate these lists!" This is a very cool song. Period!

I agree with ya'll. If an album has sold a million copies, it's definately not a flop. Although it may not compare to the the first one, it's still successful. A million is hard to do sometimes. Music changes as well as peoples music preferences.

I'm with you Jeff and Nicole. I bought this album when it came out and still have it. Loved it then, love it now. Plus, the song "I'm In You" was No. 2 on Billboard for 3 weeks during the summer of '77.
I guess any album following Comes Alive would be considered a flop just looking at sheer number sales. These lists always drive me crazy.

Peter Frampton is cool.

Yeah that is stupid any albums that past the one million mark should not be considered a flop. Also, I see a few albums that reached 2 million in sales and those are considered flops!?! Michael Jackson's HIStory album had the highest debuting single of all-time (You Are Not Alone) off of that album and it has sold over 30+ million world-wide! Where in the wolrd are people getting these stats? They are really off especially Michael Jackson's sales.
