IS ANYONE PROMOTING PLANET EARTH?

I was just wondering, cause I haven't heard or seen anything. I know Prince is getting ready to tour England so I'm not expecting a lot of TV appearances but I haven't seen ANYTHING. No ads, No commercials, Promos nothing. Is he just going to drop the cd and move on or what?

I figure he's really not trying to score a billboard hit with PE with the giveaway, but I thought there would be something in the media.

Then again maybe I should actually turn on the TV every once in a while.

wink

Maybe Columbia Records is too pissed off at him to make much of a fuss, and it wouldn't be unusual for him to just move on to something new after the London shows. wink

There are commercials running on MTV & I think VH1, so far. The Verizon commercials say something about Guitar being on the new album. Other folks have mentioned seeing posters plastered about also.

I know that Sony is hosting Listening Parties throughout the US with various radio stations. One was held here in Dallas on Friday with KRNB.

Yeah, I've seen several television ads for Target and Circuit City advertising Planet Earth with different songs playing in the background.

None of the record stores in my area (and I'm talking big ones like Virgin Megastore) have got it ! It is the first time I can't find a new Prince release in store !
