I've heard from very reliable sources that it is officially a true rumor.

That is an old link. In France alone, the sales were approximately 6000. See this link:

http://www.chartsinfrance.net/commun...zee-2000-2010/

As per above link, Worldwide sales were roughly 11,000. These are also not the latest figures. The figure of 20,000 I remembered from some discussions in an other forum (probably AF, I am not sure).

LOL that sentence is just classic.

I'll wait for an actual official announcement rather than a rumor. Even if she mentioned an intention to someone and that someone passed things on until it came to us, and even if what she said hasn't been distorted in the process, intentions can change.

Myself, I have two reactions to the rumor if it is true. I think a return to pop roots is a good idea for the next album. On the other hand, the projected date of the end of 2012 doesn't make a lot of sense. Unless:

1) As has been speculated, she is or soon intends to be pregnant; or

2) She's putting it off because a return to big-stardom will make Jérémy have a cow.

Purely in terms of producing the album the end of 2012 amounts to "one of these days."

Well along with this newest rumor was a date of September, 2011. That sounds more reasonable.

I'm assuming Sony is saying that 15,000 CDs is basically their financial break even point. If they are covering the costs of manufacturing and distribution, then this number may be believable. Of course, Alizée will have to cover the costs of songs, music, musicians and recording. So 15,000 is not their goal, it's the lowest they are willing to accept. I'm sure they expect much more. They are in business to make a profit.

I also think a return to her pop roots is a good idea at this point. Again, we are dealing with rumors and I am not banking on anything at this point either.

Are there any rumors or info on what the contract with jive says, if there is a certain amount of records she have to release with jive? I don't want to make any serious speculations since this is based on a rumor, but lets say she signed for two albums (starting with UEdS), hence the "ultimatum" (rather strong choice of word without any further explanation), with the "suggestion" to make a pop album or they wont pay for the album? Sony are evil so I don't doubt they would do things like that if they're about to lose money.

Do you really think it might be a case of Jeremy stifling how big a star she could become? I thought it might be a case of her being just too devoted to her family or maybe it's a combination of both.
