Let's face it... universal's promotion of 3121 sucks.

I this was an "usher" album there would be a TV commercial. Posters up in every major shopping centre/wreka stow. It would feature on music shows. The singles would recieve 10 spins a day on MTV and Vh1.

I just hope they promote fury propperly, it is my favorite Prince song. Success isn't that important but it would be nice for fury to be recognised. i like it better han Let's Go Crazy!! no joke! lol

Don`t get impatient!

The single is only 2 weeks out and the big deal is, how much the album is going to
sell...
people should buy 3121 not the singles....Look at many artists: they have a hit
like akon with lonely and 2 months later nobody knows them ...

And goldenGlove...TV commercials and posters will come....
now it`s too early...

3121...it has only just begun....

"The promotion of 3121 sucks"? I've never seen so much Prince on Vh1 or Mtv since the 80's. He's on the countdown and 3121 is all over the internet. The man is on fire. Now with a follow up tour he'll be every where this summer.

dude, I'm not looking to " win" anything . Your enthusiasm is great and sure beats those other negaitive vibes many others on here put forth.


Just remember, its early in the game. Dont get down or freak out just because Black Sweat doesnt vault to the top of the charts immediatly.

We all share the same passion for the man and his music or else we wouldnt be here.

Peace! razz

But that isn't going to happen and we both know it, withouth wishing to generalise I do not think youths have much respect for anything..especially a 47 year old man in high heels!
