Pardon me, "But it's not about the numbers" (3121) or the sales in numbers but the message that is presented in spirit for all of us to listen to and wake up to a better feeling (outside the box) that is offered out from that which truly brings to light a new sensation to(day)night in your life.

Spirit..."3121" Charity, service to all, faith, and love towards one another, as "Jesus the Christ" revealing (revelations) in truth shows everyone.

Just sharing thank you "promisekept".

Whatever.

If this was the case, Prince wouldn't resort to marketing gimmicks for chart position.

Are the Billboard/Soundscan numbers out yet?

I agree with that, but it would be nice to see that message transmitted on a large scale. Prince deserves to be recognized for his efforts here, and I truly hope the sales come through for him. Many of his great works sadly went without a large audience. It doesn't make them inferior, and chart positions certainly aren't the end all/be all of the industry, but it is nice for good art to be recognized.

oh lawd!

music is good or bad regardless of what it sells. awful music has sold millions...you're right, sales don't somehow make it good music. nonetheless, "you can bet your bottom money" prince cares about the numbers far more than any of us do. if he didn't, he wouldn't court major labels for one off deals. if he didn't care about numbers he would not stop in and perform at record stores on the night of a new release; he would not have a purple ticket contest; he would not play the game.

and you know what? there's nothing wrong with caring about all the different measurements of success. he worked hard on a collection of songs, why shouldn't prince care if they are enjoyed by the public?
