Ultimate on UK Album Chart

I haven't seen anything about this - Ultimate went in at number 24, it is now at 29, in the UK charts. Don't know if that's good or not, I suppose it is okay for a 2CD hits collection but it could have done better.

UDATE: now down to 43 in its third week.

The album chart is more credible than the single chart in the UK.

No promotion of any sort in the UK. A 2CD collection. I'd say that was pretty damn impressive.

Makes you think what could have been neutral
"London, i've adopted a name that has no pronounciation.... is that cool with you?"

"YEAH!!!"

"Yeah, well then fuck those other fools!"

Actually I think that's pretty impressive considering there's no current Prince
activity... no tour, no single releases, no public appearances etc.

Well, I did see short adverts for the album on tv, which not every album gets. I don't follow the music press these days, don't know if there were adverts in there for it or not. People always talk about 'promotion' but I sometimes wonder what they expect, bar Prince doing appearances, touring or appearing on tv, which he's hardly like to do with a Warner's release, he barely does it with his own albums!

A 2CD collection but only priced at under a tenner at my local supermarket and Amazon has it at £8.99, a bargain!
