Michael sold 7 million while sleeping and Prince?

So Michael sold nearly 7 million albums this decade while sleeping.
Can someone please give us the numbers for all prince albums sold this decade so far.I want to check if all the Prince promotion on TV,Magazin, Interviews, Tours etc. did something for his sells.Especially the musicology project was huge in terms of promotion he was everywhere!And don´t forget his fight against youtube.
So if you combine all Prince albums this decade and he doesn´t come over 10 Million it is a hugh dissapointment.And if he even couldn´t sell 7 million I want never ever again hear on this forum Michael is a "has been". If Michael is a has been with 7 million while sleeping what is prince?? Not living??
So where are Prince numbers??

Monk76, I understand you're an MJ fan like me, but you're just putting yourself in a corner.....

who cares who much prince sold? Since 2000 I saw him 3 times in concert and have 6 albums

Another thread for generally the same thing discussed in the other thread wasn't needed I think. How about a thread about one of my favorites, thelonious monk?

how many of them were good?

Hummmm.....mj fans: same old music repackaged.
Prince fans: something new about once a year.

The Beatles still sell a lot of records, too, I don't really see the point.

Sales are overrated.

Besides, isn't this a question better suited for the Prince:M&M section?

If I may add, the question sounds like once the OP gets the answer, it'll be the OP's way of trying to prove who's the best when sales of an artist doesn't mean anything, high or low. Britney Spears has sold millions and the bitch can't sing for shit, so that says what?

More of them than Michael's!

You're not gonna get it because sales are overrated. Who cares besides you? Who are you on the KOP/MJJC board by the way?

Let's assume Prince sold less than 7 million, okay?

he added a copy of musicology with every sold concert ticket, does that count as a sale?
planet earth was given away with a newspaper god knows how many times, does that count as a sale?
does a foto-book with a cd count as a cd sale?
does a hatbox with a cd-single count as a cd-sale?

you can see why it's hard to keep track of his actual sales. I'm sure billboard or some other organisation has some numbers, but they hardly represent the full picture since P is trying his best to get his music released outside the usual record store circuit.
