Check Out My Prince Display!

At work (Best Buy) they asked me to take a picture and put 2 DVD's and 8 of my favorite artists/albums underneath on display in the CD section. The Media Manager was doing an 'employee pics' section. They shoulda knew better askin me to do that...You know what's in my section!







So far the reaction from customers is; "...that big black guy is a Prince fan!? Is he really? You're jokin right?" I'll never get used to that...

Who am I supposed to be a fan of!!?? Young Jeezy? T.I.? Jay-Z?

NO THANKS!!

So...2 all my Detroit Motor Baby Orgers; the CD seems to be sellin well. Our store was busy and everybody was walkin around with a copy. So, if you want me to set a copy aside for you, I can. I'm at the Best Buy on 8 Mile and Haggerty. Let me know.

FURY!! <--Damn song is OFF THE CHAIN!!

Unfortunately, I believe soundscan starts counting the day of release. BUT! I can track how many units have been sold over any period of time, but only units bought at Best Buy. Its funny that store could receive a fine from the record company, its happened before with some Dave Matthew's Band release.

I was digging for it, and I didn't see it. I'll do a search on our inventory system tomorrow to see if its even slated to come to any Best Buy.
