"Nelly Furtado has opened up about the disappointing sales of her latest album, insisting that she sees music as a hobby rather than a career. The Spirit Indestructible, which was released in September 2012, failed to match the global success of her last English-language album Loose, which sold over ten million copies worldwide and spawned several hit singles and a world tour.  &amp;gt; Nelly Furtado defends The Spirit Indestructible low album sales The Spirit Indestructible sold 6,000 copies in the US and less than 2,650 in the UK during its first week on sale. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s the price you pay for being passionate about music and refusing to believe it&amp;#039;s your job all these years. It&amp;#039;s just still seeing it as a hobby,&amp;quot; Furtado told Gig City. &amp;quot;My poor manager. He&amp;#039;s suffered many grey hairs because of it. I&amp;#039;m just really hard-headed and I just do what I want to do. Some people come along, some people don&amp;#039;t. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve made my hobby into a career, but sometimes I still look at it as a hobby so I don&amp;#039;t always make the best quote unquote career choices. But I enjoy it every step of the way, which I think is the most important thing.&amp;quot; Furtado recently had to scale back her tour due to poor ticket sales.
