Entertainment Weekly, July 30th issue, has some Prince tid-bits.

1. Musicology Tour #10 on the Must List saying "The Funk Master brings the old hits out of storage but sounds fresher thatn ever on the it's-not-a-comback trail"

2. Music Charts-"The Fall and Rise of Prince"

The Belittled Prince?- The artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as must have done something to seriously offend America. Or maybe a memo went out to the nation to boycott Jehovah's witnesses in clear plastic heels. Either way, something was up, with his Musicology falling from No 15 to No 64 in the week ending July 11, a 68-percent drop-off in sales from 61,000 units to 19,000- The steepest of any disc in the top 200.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye! - Keep your crown on, fella. Its just that the occasionally purple one was taking a week off from his hits-laden sold-out arena tour, where everyone who bought a concert ticket was counted as having also purchased a copy of the disc-which was bieng handed to each person at the door. Music-industry watchers have been wondering how many of his impressive unit tallies have actually been via normal retail channels, and now we can take an educated guess: about a third. If thats seems diminutive, Prince fans might point out tat a 19,000-copy week is not terrible for an album that's been out for three months.

Royally Flush- In any case, now that Prince is back on the road, what went down, must come up. Several gigs fell within the week ending July 18, so musicology predictably registered a huge gain of 288 percent, moving back up to No. 8 with sales of 74,000. So Yeah, you plebes-he still rules.
