i hope he does a world tour with the emphasis on WORLD and not just tons of US dates and a few overseas shows. we got spoiled last year on the musicology tour - i saw dude 7 times including the simulcast, and i know people who saw him twice as many times. that's just sick. it's time to share mr. purplepants with the rest of the world...just don't forget yer favorite news moderator when the shows are over and you wanna write a concert report! batting eyes

I don't care it he tours and only covers Barbra Steisand songs, I'm still going to every show I can.

"Guitar" on Leno is the greatest performance in the history of rock ' roll

My thing is, the people around the world have seen him just about as much as we have, maybe even more. What's so wrong about getting spoiled on good music? There is nothing sick about that. I say, let him come state side.

It does seem strange that Prince is chosing NOT to release the song as an actual single. He must think singles are dead. I don't think they are dead quite yet, a single in the charts is still a great promotional tool for an album.

He did the same with Musicology here in the UK, the video was being played, but the single release was delayed and delayed and the album lost impetus after a strong opening.

the only "hard copy" singles i have from 'musicology' are the cinnamon girl singles...the good one was an import (the one with the live b-sides, etc.), and the other one with just the video was....well...i don't KNOW what that was... lol

Did anyone else notice the reporter's name on this story is Paul Cashmere? That's funny. "I'm makin' you a coat, of Paul...Cashmeeeeere...."

If this song is available on iTunes then it basically is released as a single. iTunes sales count towards the charts, so if he releases it there and it sells well, it could be a hit regardless of airplay. INXS's new single "Pretty Vegas" debuted on the charts at no.37 solely based on iTunes downloads, so if Prince really pushes this it's possible. Heck, even "SST" sold well enough on iTunes, with no promotion and after all the hardcore fans got it from NPGMC, to reach no.111.

I thought that sales on iTunes only count towards the singles charts provided there is also a CD single available in the stores.
