Bria, on the other hand, most likely gets a hug and a copy of the Watchtower. lol
I'm sure that she'll make more out of this package than if her CD were released standalone.

Seems to be an odd bout of desperation to sell 3 CD's for that cheap. Is he afraid that they won't sell and by setting a low price....trying to get people to buy them???
I would recheck that price before I run to Target in search of this deal that is too good to be true....but if it is...hey a bonus


Anyone who's followed the music industry knows where physical CD sales were this past year.

http://www.huffingtonpost...54641.html

If someone can buy 3 physical albums for 12 bucks then they'll likely feel less need to download them for free from pirate sites.. all the while making the real money on the sales from the site subscription.

I think I can guess where u live. Prince told me that he doesn't want to distribute in the UK right now. You'll just have to go without this time. Sorry.

My point is, every time Prince does a concert somewhere, or is about to release something...there's always a bunch of fools from the UK who say "what about us?" You never go without, so your pleading always ends up redundant and irrelevant...therefore I repeat "who cares about the UK?"

Next you'll be wondering if he'll be playing Glastonbury this year! It's just soooo boring.


Yea Prince talks to some random like you!

I'm just wondering when he will release it in the UK and how??? I mean Europe for a long time now has been his biggest market, his biggest following so just seems weird he wont strike a deal when we've got asda (wal mart), Tesco and other big retailers here.

? wink



Y'all had him for 21 nights. Stop being greedy!







Just teasing ya... razz
Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

When selling to a chain like that they buy their bulk of CDs from you. You get the money regardless of whether they sell them or not. It's up to the store to recoup their expenditures. So prince won the moment the deal was done.

right, but i'm saying i wonder how the billboard charts will register each purchase of the 3-cd set. will it count as three albums sold? will bria's album therefore chart exactly the same as lotusflow3r and mplsound, or will the whole set count as a single album?

remember how emancipation went double-platinum even though the set only sold something like half a million copies? each cd counted as an individual sale.

Scottish traits: Boring and tight-fisted. You've just underlined my point, thanks.

Then you are certainly overdue. I just hope we don't have to wait as long for him to come back as we did last time. We had a 5 year gap. Then again, we've had it better than a lot of other nations.

Why is it well said? It makes no absolutely no sense. Is everyone an idiot on this site? If Prince does care about the UK then it's in the context of how the country can serve to make him richer--not it's cultural or political well being. This has to be the type of commitment he takes towards all countries. No other factor comes into it. How can it? But you're kind of offended that he might not care about. You're weird.

As someone who works at Target Headquarters, I am very excited by this. All of the big acts that they have done exclusive deals with in the past have performed for us.


This is what I've been thinking about/hoping for as well. The HQ national meeting is in 2 weeks.

Good to know when it's being released (anticipation is growing stronger razz). If it's $11.98 for the whole three-disc set that is a good move Prince! smile
