Did "The Time" outsell "Controversy' (at the time) I mean in the year following both albums' releases.
& did any side-project ever outsell any contemporary Prince album anyway? A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ | |

Interesting question. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I think it outsold "Dirty Mind"
I dont think so with "Controversy" She has robes and she has monkeys, lazy diamond studded flunkies.... | |

I remember it definitely outsold Dirty Mind. I can't remember about Controversy, though (and chart peaks don't tell the whole story). | |

I don't have access to Billboard's more detailed archives or to those of Nielsen's Soundscan. Probably better results are available over there. | |

Soundscan will only have sales information for 1993 and beyond. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Yeah, there was no Soundscan back then. It's not even accurate today. Not every store has it, like some mom and pop stores. Also, some small stores will buy CD's at a place like Best Buy and resell it at a higher price, so it counts as 2 sales if the 2nd store has the Soundscan setup. Sales pre-Soundscan was mostly based on estimates. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
