Universal seems to be more aggressive (especially if anything from the promotional wishlist happens). Of course this could all change at the drop of a hat if the label or Prince decides to move on. Wow, we're on the same page. I always believed and I said here on the org before that Sony didn't do enough to promote Musicology. They picked the right singles, even though they should have released A Million Days, put they didn't push hard enough for them to be heard. I have a good feeling about Universal. I think they will FINALLY do Prince justice. And they already got one part of the wishlist acomplished: SNL and look at what's happened as a result. Imagine if he does Oprah.

[Edited 2/6/06 10:26am] [Edited 2/6/06 10:27am] Wow..... Dude, if Prince does Oprah, we will never hear the last of it and he will go to the stratosphere. Every reason in the world why he HAS to do that show if no other to promote 3121. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

I remember being really young when MJ did Oprah for "Dangerous" and it really really really really UPPED the sales of "Dangerous." Maybe Prince will do Oprah when sales and promo for "3121" start to die down, to generate more buzz for it. Instead of just putting all the big bang appearances out front. You know??? Just a thought..  | |

Prince did "Oprah" for "Emancipation". Did that jettison sales? Hard to tell. [Edited 2/6/06 11:19am] "New Power slide...." |

[Edited 2/6/06 11:19am] That put him in front of a lot of people. When that happened, people were talking about it, him and the new album. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

I don't SOny felt there was a need. P had found that loophole and they probably figured P would promote (heck almost distribute it) it himself...which he did. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Just a thought.. He normally blows the wad all at one time. Most likely he will blitz it all out and use the music and videos to keep the momentum going. By the time 3121 really dies off, he'll be on to the next thing. The tour should keep sales going for a while. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Yeah but P's loophole didn't really help Sony all that much, right? From what we've heard, they didn't get a cut of the concert CD's. Prince generated plenty of buzz to see him in concert, but it didn't seem like Sony tried that hard to get him on to the radio, which could have generated more traditional sales that would've benefitted them. | |

once the tour got going, certainly Prince made the cover of dozens of magazines everyone calling it a comeback but beforehand, there wasn't any more buzz than there is now for 3121 which is still quite a lot i look forward to Prince having some real hit singles this time around not because it matters but because they're so good everyone will be forced to take notice | |
