Wow. Amazon sales up an average of 653%! Prince's rain-drenched halftime performance at the Super Bowl Sunday night set his album sales sprouting like Jack's beanstalk, Amazon.com reports.
The halftime show, which in recent years has helped the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, and even the malfunctioning Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson to mighty sales increases, was a profitable stage for Prince. "The Very Best of Prince'' shot from No. 710 to No. 71 on Amazon.com's Top Sellers list for music, according to Amazon. Sales of "The Hits/The B-Sides'' increased by a super 887 percent, climbing from No. 2,211 all the way to No. 224 among Amazon.com's top sellers. Prince's finale, "Purple Rain'' propelled sales of the album "Music From the Motion Picture `Purple Rain' '' from No. 432 to No. 53 on the Amazon list, a leap of 715 percent. "Ultimate Prince'' rose from No. 516 to No. 82 and "3121" climbed from No. 488 to No. 145 in sales on Amazon. Overall, Prince's average album sales on Amazon went up 653 percent.

It's all just coincidence. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

It's a shame 3121 didn't get a bit more of a boost, and no doubt it would have if he'd only played a track from it.  |

sales are nice but just seem to be a byproduct of one who loves perfection and playing the best ~honey is b-ing 1 with the 1~ | |

I really don't think sales are a byproduct for Mr. Prince "numbeR one at the bank" Nelson. |

Overall, Prince's average album sales on Amazon went up 653 percent...
I Wonder what this actually means in terms of units sold (ie a 653 percent increase on virtually nothing = virtually nothing). Don't get me wrong it's good news but really Prince needs a new album ready to go right now to fully capitalise on the SB publicity and renewed interest. 'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything. | |

Impressive numbers...but how much does Prince benefit from this financially ? Is he still getting royalties for WB albums or just for airplay ? " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Really wished that he had done some 3121 cuts but hey He did what he wanted to do and that is what is best for him and his career. Congrats to Prince!!! | |

 Careful what you wish for - with every new "expert" newbie in this forum comes two or three "expert" Michael Jackson newbs to the Music: Non-Prince forum.
The sales increase is good but means nothing to me...unless he releases new shit for me to buy. | |
