it must be about 500,000 now?

what about 3121?

I bought mine at Walmart and had a friend in the UK send me one that was given away for free over there.

Well, I own 22 copies. Does that help?!

well no, but itll be interesting to know

Planet Earth (album)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The album debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 at number three with 96,000 units sold in its first week. This is less than half of both Musicology and 3121. [9] As of October of 2007, the album has sold about 298,000 copies in America, with almost no promotion, with the exception of the Verizon Wireless ad for 'Guitar'.

That's not bad sales-wise, considering there was no promotion outside of the Verizon commercial and no US tour. It would have gone gold (1/2 mil copies) if he had promoted it here in the US. He toured for Musicology and did many TV appearances for 3121, but just one phone commercial for PE.

the wikipedia info is old, and you cant trust wikipedia

Here's the facts: Planet Earth has sold 968,000 copies worldwide. Prince's last studio album to sell less than 1 million was The Rainbow Children, with only 300,000 total worldwide sales.

Why do you own 22 copies of the same album

mayebelle81 said:

As someone else has already written, you can hardly trust Wikipedia for accuracy and currency. Adding to it, the attempt to justify its low sales with mention that it had minimal promotion, shows that the piece was clearly written by a Prince apologist.

Prince is responsible for promoting his music. If he doesn't, & it underwhelms the music-buying public, it's his own fault.

In the UK it was given away in a newspaper and also given to everyone that went to the O2 concerts. I had about 16 copies of it all in all, after 12 shows.

Gave quite a few away but I still have 8 on the shelf.

1 + 968000 = 1

I know, but nobody was answering the question, so I gave it a try. I knew that couldn't be an accurate number of sales, but I am glad it did better than I thought it did.
