What's up with billboard.com?

Last week there were Prince-Lotusflow3r ads all over Billboard.com. Now, with all of the "controversy" of whose cd is #1, I noticed that there is no cd cover to represent Princes' Lotusflow3r cd on any of the charts. Nor, can you click on his Name or the album name, like you can all the others. I smell a conspiracy. Or maybe it's just my computer. I'm sure someone will check this out and give a better insight than mine.

It's obviously a giant conspiracy. Prince is a very dangerous person to the shadowy music industry insiders who determine chart positions.

These people will stop at nothing to keep Prince, his purple funkiness, and his millions of fans worldwide on the sidelines.

I suggest a million purple march on Nashville and Hollywood, and DEMAND that Billboard retract their outrageous lie that Prince was #2 on the album chart.

WE know he was really #1. They must be made to admit their lies and deceit.

Music industry insiders are scratching their heads as very recently a substantial amount of cd’s were not counted on a certain chart for a particular artist.

There have been meetings at different labels discussing this very thing today.

Manipulation has come into question of a certain chart because of the amount we are talking about and the company that reported the numbers has never been caught inflating numbers before.

Will this be swept under the rug?-Dr.FB

It's not a conspiracy in the true sense. It's about $ and standing. Problem for the Industry is -- folks ain't about greed right now so the Industry needs to come clean if it wants to have any credibility at this point.

Besides, I think the Industry probably admires "that skinny mother___ with the high voice," who wouldn't.

Perhaps the Industry should consult with Prince and his contemporaries (the true source) to determine how to get the Industry out of its mess.

Everything's about money, and when it comes to Prince, he's not giving it away for free when he can get paid for it.

I happen to know where the founder of Billboard Magazine lives. Nice pad. Right next to my late grandparents in one of those retirement communities in a well off neighborhood of New Jersey. I can pay a visit if you want. But seriously, I do know where he lives. Got some cool collectibles in his garage even.
