Lotusflow3r

Lotusflow3r is number 10 on billboard indepedent chart and number 16 on the R&B chart this week pretty good i'd say. No matter what target's selling price is its cool how an album can move up and down the charts like it has and chart higher than some new releases after being on the chart forover a year now.

Don't fool yourself. It's 99 cents. That's why it's on the "charts" all of a sudden. People need coasters, mobils for their children, and table levelers.

this too shall pass

It is pretty cool. People are probably buying them and then shipping them places that don't have target. Good way to make a profit?

What is your main problem?

Since I personally like that album very much, I think it's pretty great that it is on the charts a year after its release!! It shows that people are interested to hear Prince's music ... I would not buy any CD of an artist I'm not interested in, even if it's only 99 cents.

It's not 99 cents everywhere. I believe people reported it being $2.99 and $4.99 someplaces (no further clearance discount). Yes, it is greatly reduced - no argument there. But a lot of independent albums are never priced higher than ten bucks, so it works for me on that chart. The R&B chart, eh, seems a bit like cheating for a triple CD release to be charting there because the price has been slashed (repeatedly).

Your usual sarcasm isn't as cool as you'd like to think.

99 cents will make people more likely to get it, but it it's not totally the price. People don't just buy albums cuz it's 99 cents. If they were giving away Lil Waynes cd's for free, I wouldn't take it.

VH1 has been playing Purple Rain the last couple of weeks. I'd say it has more to do with that.

No such reductions here in Belgium, unfortunately. otherwise I'd get me some extra smile

Yea and your theory makes sense rolleyes

"Whatever helps me sleep at night"? What is that suppose to imply? That I'm some obssevive fan who just likes anything Prince puts out and care about his record sales? You have no idea what I like and I could care less if Lotusflower ever sold a copy.

Get over yourself thinking that it's cool to constantly prove your not some obsessive Prince fan by being the "outspoken one". And that it's cool to respond to every post with unnecessary sarcasm. That shit aint cool man

Okay, then. Are you foreign? Because the term "Oh brother" doesn't specify gender of the audience.
