Only 6,000 or so copies behind the Top 10. Prince should do American Idol. That would push another 150,000-250,000 units easily.

loudawg said:

man i think this is the best chart since 1989 for me

Queensryche,Prince & Poison all in the top 20 in 2006! (pinches myself)

See, this really bugs me. 3121 is so obviously a great Prince album, but
people are too busy being distracted by GARBAGE like That's What I Call Music
21. It really bites!

Someone informed me that Prince nixed Idol, because he refused to work with the singers. He was asked to coach them, and he refused.

This is really not bad at all! Yea!

well,let's face it guys...the album is not gonna be a big seller.No big deal.We like it and that's all that matters,right?

DavidEye said:

right but i still think it might be a big seller if the music gets heard

loudawg said:

I don't know. Did anyone else see the contestants butcher the Queen songs last night? Ugh. And Queen is getting hated on by AI fans cuz they think they were rude to the contestants when they told one that they didn't want him to change the arrangement to We Will Rock You, what would they think of Prince?

Dont worry, in the UK we're on volume sixty something I think!

In New Zealand we have this crap called Thats what I call music, the latest set vol 20 has Kelly Clarkson, Chris Brown, Sugababes etc and u get the idea. Its at 4, James Blunt at Number 1 with the Bedlam sessions, and the greatest reggae album in the world at 2. Prince isnt on the charts.
We also have a complimation disc called The Rythmn, theyre up to Vol 25 I think, the first 4 all had cuts from Diamonds and Pearls

Snap said:

I agree.Hopefully,the future singles will get the airplay they deserve,although I doubt this will happen

what the hell is Rascal Flatts??

and who is buying that High School Musical garbage??

I swear,today's charts are depressing to read

Snap said:

absolutely. imho, the songs are strong and if they were exposed in a bigger scale, they would be huge. prince should be seeking out ways to get these songs heard in a grand scale since radio wants to be a dick to him. i hope something happens real soon. this album deserves to be a big seller.

DavidEye said:

Rascal Flatts are a country band who seem to be really huge by those numbers. They make typical country stuff imo. There are a lot of tone deaf kids in America and the proof is in High School Musical. It still bothers me that Prince was having to fight for the #1 spot from that piece of shit.

WHAT IS HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL?!?!?

Can you post the entire list, thanks...

Anx said:

It's a film that was shown on the Disney Channel earlier this year. From what I hear it's practically like "Grease" in 2006. It was the most watched program in Disney Channel history and they decided to capitalize on it by releasing the soundtrack. The week 3121 came out, they reaired it and it made the sales for the CD go up. I believe there is supposed to be a sequel to the film.

purplecam said:

that's a damn shame what's wrong with people?! Buying this crap!

I thought it was just because I'm an Aussie that I had no idea who Rascal Flatts are and what that High School Disney thing is. Fuck.

bkw said:

Nope.I'm American and I have no idea who they are,either

It will do a million copies at best. Which is not bad considering everything that has gone wrong in P's carreer.

[b]The album actually is #13. It didn't fall that far....

Yeah, the album is great, but some of the blame for it not still being in the top 10 goes to Prince himself. Where are the appearances to promote it? Why is it going to take 5-6 weeks for another single to be released? 3121 would still be in the top 10 if he was on Leno, Letterman, Conan, or damn near anybody else that’s on television. Where’s the CD download? He has MANY ways to generate publicity, but he’s not using them. Hell, even a strictly radio single would be something (like Call My Name was). For example, the R&B people that I know, and have heard the CD, all love Incense and Candles. Why not just release it to R&B radio. There’s nothing to lose.

YES!

PurpleKnight said:

Ain't that the motherfucking truth! He ALWAYS does this shit. What the fuck is wrong with him? Fuckin hard headed jackass.

PurpleKnight said:

ain't that the truth!

ah well, I still love him

Lacuna Coil entered at #24? Not bad.
