(antiMusic) The more pregnant they are the harder they fall? Lip-syncing pop princess Ashlee Simpson was probably hoping for a threepeat, but got a disappointing 4th place finish instead. Her new album not only didn't debut at the top of the charts, her sales took a nose dive. "Bittersweet World" sold just 47,000 copies the first week in stores, down from the 220,000 that "I Am Me" moved its first week.A high-profile engagement, endless speculation about major uterine developments and plenty of face time on TV and magazines couldn't put Ashlee Simpson over the top. As it were, Jessica's baby sister managed just a bittersweet No. 4 debut for Bittersweet World, failing to extend her run of chart-topping albums and looking up at Mariah Carey, Leona Lewis and even the New Zealand novelty act Flight of the Conchords.
