Nelly Furtado is out of Billboard for weeks.
The last time that apeared on some album chart was the issue 21/02/2004 on the Billboard 200.
This was the chart run:
FOLKLORE
US Date: 13/12/2004 - Run: *38*-63-86-89-95-90-82-99-134-157-188 (11 wks)

The last time on the singles chart was the issue 08/05/2004 on two charts:
Adult Top 40 - Try - No. 39
Hot Dance Music / Club Play - Powerless (Say What You Want) [Widelife, Junior, & Chab Mixes] - No. 49

She peaked at #29 on the Adult Top 40 with "Try" and #5 with "Powerless" on the Dance Club Play chart. "Powerless" also reached #30 on the Top 40 Mainstream and #16 on the Adult Top 40.

Those are some real sorry-looking stats they got there. As one of the most musically-challenged countries in the universe, our Nelly's getting beaten by the likes of Britney and Christina, among other U.S. artists.

Yea, they get promotion. Our little' Nelly doesn't. This wasn't much of a party album though. How funny that the songs she did release thus far WERE her commercial hits on this album. Next should be either Fresh Off the Boat or Explode, maybe even Picture Perfect (I LOVE that song).

If Dido can sell well with her Music-For-Insomniacs then it MUST be possible to have promoted Nelly's "not-so-Party-as-the-last-one" album!!!

[Silvy]

it sucks that nelly hasnt been promoted enough and haven't had the result we all would like in usa

I just hope that Nelly doesn't sell out and make a party album just for the sake of making hits.

How has Folklore sold internationally?

Next album, I'd like Nelly to do an even lesser pop album with more songs featuring a full band, as well as song with some interesting beats (like Harder They Come and Explode). Some hip hop wouldn't hurt either, that was one thing missing on Folklore, but I guess it wasn't really needed on it at the same time.
