who cares what the charts say? The album will find it's audience.Today's music is crap,anyway.Just take a look at the songs that do well on the charts these days.Do we really want Prince to release crap like that,just to have a hit single?? | |

Like 'Black Sweat' for example?  "Black Sweat" kills anything that is currently in the Top 40 right now | |

"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt "Check On It" by Beyonce "My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas "One Wish" by Ray J Surely you don't think that those four songs are better than "Black Sweat"?  | |

Throw the Album chart up there instead, and you'll see an artist with an amazingly healthy career still going strong...  | |

"One Wish" by Ray J - Dont know it Those 4 songs suck serious ass. They are supposed to represent what the youth is listening to and I would fall into that category and it doesn't represent me at all. After hearing 3121, I FINALLY got the revelation that I don't need a chart or the radio to tell me what I should be listening to cause they don't give a fuck about me. 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 | |

Those 4 songs embarrass me. Garbage like a mutha! I honestly feel great that I don't have to listen to the radio for satisfaction when all I'm going to get is crap. I've been driving myself insane without really realizing it. Prince or anyone else could make the greatest pop song ever and radio would never play it unless for God knows what reason even if it is someone young with real talent. Everything seems so planned and calculated. Even if you Look at Ne-Yo. It's whatever now but I'm going to do me and I'm going to support class acts like Prince.

The album sales are counting ! Nobody makes money with single sales ! |

The problem here is not the sales charts. It's the way commercial radio is run, with narrow playlists. I am SICK of "youre beautiful" cause they play it 40 times an hour (sorta) When radio changes it's rules, then you'll hear Prince again on top 40 stations. | |

I think it's ironic that "7" peaked at #7 on the pop charts.  |

You're Beautiful makes me feel ugly. 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 | |

You're Beautiful makes me feel ugly. If I hear that "You're Beautiful" hook one more time... I'ma hafta start projectile vomiting! 
(I can't believe this is a hit and Te Amo Corazon is virtually unplayed on the radio edit) |

(I can't believe this is a hit and Te Amo Corazon is virtually unplayed on the radio edit) I know right?! I turn the dial or the station the moment I hear the first note of You're Beautiful. It's hot garbage spewing out of the can. 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 | |

It's hot garbage spewing out of the can. It's on every fucking tv show too. You cant even watch ER without hearing that shit. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |
