I seem to remember 3121 sold more first week copies than Musicology and also more than Come which debuted at number 1! I seem to remember reading 3121 sold about 39,000 copies in it's first week. 3121 has dropped from 9-22-out of top 40, so hasn't sold many copies. I think Musicology dropped just as fast, so I can't see that having sold much over 100,000 here, if it's even that high. . Actually, you're contradicting yourself here.... 3121 sold MORE than Musicology in its first week yet charted at no.9 (as opposed to Musicology's no.3)... so what does that tell us? I said 3121 sold more copies than Musicology. I also said it sold more than Come which debuted number 1. Emancipation lover said Musicology charted number 3 and, "you need to move some units to get that, I guess". The point was to explain that Musicology sales in the UK weren't very large and that their guess was wrong. RIP | |

But back to the original topic, yes the output of work was remarkable in the 80's. RIP | |
