Week 5 Sales for 3121: Prince hanging on

3121 sales fall 29% but albumlooks to move up a few spots on the charts due to what looks like a weaker selling week. 22,000 more copies bought this past week puts 3121 at number 29 on Hitsdailydouble, up from 37 last week.

Now if only something would happen, ANY THING, than maybe P can keep this in the Top 50 for a few more weeks.

Circuit City had 3121 for $8.99 this week and some other stores discounted it heavily so if the sale is over and Prince doesn't do something I fully expect it to fall off the list next week.

Between 350 K and 400 K. First week was 183 K, second week was 75K and this week is 22K but don't remember week 3 and 4. Not gold yet but could be there in a few weeks if it holds steady.

Prince will do something in the next few weeks.
I'm sure he's gearing up for something special.

I'm glad it's still hanging on but Prince has got to do something real quick.
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

I know a lot of people like to just say that sales don't matter, but it's like, Prince intended for 3121 to be commercially accessible, so do some work to keep it out there!

I don't recall anyone saying it's one of his best albums.

You have to admit for no promo in over 3-4 weeks and it is still in the top 50 and moving up from 37 to 29.....not bad. I remember P saying that "Emancipation was going to go up and down the charts for a few years because it was a 2-3 year project." We saw what happened there...with all the promo. Rave???? P needs to do something to keep it going....back to # 1

3121 is still going strong.....

Really? You don't recall all the praise it received when it was leaked on this board? I'm pretty sure you'll find high regard for it, in fact, I thought you were one of the people who thought it was a great record. Or was it just the pop-smear of Love that you were all about? I forget.

At any rate, hopefully after poor sales he'll realize he shouldn't be trying to construct MTV urban-pop and get back to doing his own thing.

No one said it was one of his best albums. Most just said that it's way better than Musicology, and one of his best albums in a few years.

I rated it ****/***** when it came out, and my rating now hovers around that and *** 1/2. Not much of a change.
