But its not still in the vh1 top 20 countdown for next week

YEAH!!!
Thats one small step for Prince, one giant leap for man kind
Man, wasn't Musicology a vid of the week too?
Dag Prince why is VH1 all in your grill?
Oh well, YEAH!!!

Don't mean to a pessimist, but even if they're saying that, they're still not showing it very often, and like someone said, it's not in the countdown.

I'm starting to think this song is kinda tanking. Sad, cuz it definitely didn't deserve to.

You're right, MendesCity. For a video that's the 'Video of the Week', you'd think it'd be on more often. If they played it as half as much as they played that Alicia Keys video, I'd be happy.
BTW, the other night, they repeated the Alicia Keys video only 20 minutes apart!! It was Alicia's video, 2 other videos, commercial break, then the same Alicia video again!!! Is payola alive & well?

Yeah, it's not played enuff at all but,thanks for filling me in on it being the pick of the week :)Now I can finally catch it tommorow morning I been looking around for it all week on MTV, BET, VH1 and hadn't come across it when I was looking and even waiting for it some time.

i agree, as much i look at vh1 in the mornings before i go to work, i still have failed to see them play call my name. I saw musicology early in the morning on vh1 for like 3 weeks straight before it died down. it looks like they tryin to slip prince a fast one just cause he doesn't have those "video hoes shakin all in the videos, "confessing" how bad he wants a girl to do it "slow motion" while another girl "spread's her eagle" at the "holidae inn". its a shame really. he doesn't even get that much radio airplay anymore.

It's about time! I don't think that the vid will make heavy rotation bcuz P is still considered an outsider. He does a special on all 3channels and could'nt get Musicology in heavy rotation. That is usually the trade off. But so far i have'nt seen that happen with P since the video for 7 and TMBGITW!

I was thinking the SAME THING!!!
He's gonna have to pimp Manuella in order to get his videos in heavy rotation!!!

Those Vids like By Ludicris are Really Cool Pussy Poppin...Prince has to Stay Current...If Trends Are like That...

This is one of the *NICEST* videos I've seen in a long while...Go Prince!

Havent seen it yet
