 Ya know, I thought the same thing.  Don't know for sure though. "A united state of mind will never be divided
The real definition of unity is 1 People can slam their door, disagree and fight it But how U gonna love the Father but not love the Son? United States of Division"     | |

Come 310k US The Black Album 261k US The Gold Experience 492k US Emancipation 628k US TGE went to gold at the end of 90s already (500k), so these are hardly up to date. TGE is now out of print and the lmited release of Black Album is out of print as well. Prince said himself around the time of the release of Emancipation that "all his CDs have sold over one million copies according to an internet survey". Whatever that is supposed to mean and how accurate that was, is another question. | |

TGE went Gold based on units shipped as of December 1995(according to the RIAA), not units sold, in the US. As of December 2005 TGE was listed as having sold 492k units according to SoundScan/Billboard magazine (and they should know). It's estimated TGE sold around 900k copies globally. The other figures listed are from the same source and time. |

I loved when he performed this song on the Today Show, back when Bryant Gumbel was still on. Bryant sang along on key... | |

I remember that. Prince wore a really funky, flowy black trenchcoat. Looked like Neo from the Matrix. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
