Christina Aguilera has revealed that she has moved on from her latest album Bionic.
The LP - Aguilera's first in four years - peaked at number one in the UK with the lowest opening-week sales for an album ever. It dropped to number 29 the following week.
Speaking at a press conference for her new movie Burlesque, she said: "The creative process that involved Bionic is over, I did what I wanted to do and I'm satisfied with it.
"If the album sells or if the songs are a hit, I don't care and I don't need to know it, I did my part and I gave 100% while I was doing it, and I'm proud of this work."
Discussing the film, she added: "Burlesque was a different process, I'll support this project util the end, but not to find out if it was a box office hit or not - that is not what motivates me.
"The creative process is my thing, I'm an artist and once something is over, I look forward for what is next, and I don't look back."
Aguilera's new single 'You Lost Me' is out September 20.
With the above article in mind, and other examples such as Leona Lewis, do you believe that leaving a sizeable gap between album releases creates hype, or destroys your chances of scoring a hit album?
I think the most intriguing answer to this question will come from Lady Gaga's new release (so a release so soon after the last) and then Amy Winehouse (an album that has taken years to be released)
