Well as far as I can tell, there weren't any copies left the second day it came out (graffiti bridge) at the local best buy store, neither were available at circuit city, so that surely makes a lot more than 41 copies sold...I think....

So, how many did "Purple Rain" sell? And, I'm confused - how do you know "Graffiti Bridge" moved just 41 copies?

I was kidding about the 41 copies smile It was meant to be a play off of the 4.1 million for Passion.

this week's billboard dvd chart shows Goodfella's as being a new entry but wasnt it released the week before Purple Rain came out on DVD? in that case Purple Rain would be in next week's chart

Well, I wouldn't be too surprised if GB really sold 41 copies. But, I'm hoping it's a lot more. I hope "Purple Rain" did really well, and I expect it will because it was sold out all around here - and I live in a dinky college town. I had to travel 80 miles to find it.

ok i just looked it up and all the new entries in this week's Billboard dvd chart were released on August 17th...so Purple Rain should be on this list in next week's edition
