Prince earns his 25th top 10 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums with the debut of his latest studio album HitnRun: Phase One

Prince earns his 25th top 10 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums with the debut of his latest studio album HitnRun: Phase One at No. 8 on the Oct. 3-dated chart. It sold 6,000 copies in the week ending Sept. 17, according to Nielsen Music. The entrance comes 36 years after he first landed a top 10 rank, when his self-titled album reached No. 3.

Among all acts on the 50-year-old chart, the only artists with more top 10 sets areAretha Franklin, the Temptations (both with 32) and James Brown (28).

Here we have two threads; one proclaiming HinRun a fatality and the other rating it a top 10 success. Such is the state of the music industry today... razz lol

I don't see the importance of sales to be honest. I thought the HitnRun album was not much more than decent. The first half of the album is not my thing. I really dislike EDM and there's something really sad about seeing Prince, a legend, resort to it. The second half of the album is alright though, 1000 hugs and kisses is a real standout for me, but whether it was a huge success or a complete failure ultimately won't make a difference to me.

Unless Prince sees that despite it making the top 10 in the rnb chart, the sales still are low, so maybe when he decides to release another album he might ditch the EDM and release an album of "real music by real musicians"...

6K copies sold?

Knowing us fanatics it's more like 1,000 people buying 6 copies each. Whoa baby.
