Prince has 8th Worst Selling #1 Album of the Soundscan Era 8. Prince, 3121, 530,000. What's Prince doing on a list like this? Anybody can have an album that under-performs, to use a favored industry euphemism. 3121 charted in March 2006. It was Prince's fourth album to reach #1; his first to do since Batman in 1989. "Black Sweat" was the only song from the album to make the Hot 100. It spent one week on the chart at #60. http://new.music.yahoo.co...-1-albums/ | |

there are 13 albums that reached #1 in 2006 on that list.
i guess that says something about current charts and the sales of albums. beyond all that, what the heck kind of list is that with people finding gripe even over #1 albums. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Is it okay if I presume you're a religious recluse who paraded around in women's underwear in the 80s? Remember I joined this forum for a reason, buddy, I like Prince's music too. That doesn't mean I have to like everything he does, nor do my other musical tastes have anything to do with...well...anything. I simply posted my opinion on the album here and that was that. | |

I listened 2 "3121," last night and even though I love Prince's records the first time around, the appreciation 4 the music gets deeper as the years go by. Prince music has always had that lasting charm. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

No one is selling a vast amount of CDS and some of you need to wake up to the reality. | |

Because this album reached #1 on pure hype alone, not it's musical content. | |

The album sucks and didn't deserve to do well.
Even compared to the rest of the shit that's out there these days, it still sucks. | |

I like the music on this album, it is much better than musicology I totally agree with that and I liked Musicology. 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 could care less. i played the 3121 cd a lot and love the whole experience, CD, live shows, last days of NPGMC | |

I really liked 3121, a lot, and for the record, I hated 'Musicology', but I learned long ago, that you cannot judge an album based on how well it sold. Record sales do not equate to an albums relevance, especially years down the road. Lady Cab Driver is one of the greatest songs ever! | |

I like the music on this album, it is much better than musicology The fact that you (or any of us) like it isn't under discussion, it's why the general public didn't like it, despite it reaching #1 for a week. It got there on hype, P.R. and timing - like a lot of #1 records. . [Edited 11/23/08 14:13pm] | |

Most albums don't reach number one on musical content. How do you know if it's any good unless you take a chance that the single isn't just a fluke on the album? So I'd say it's just the reverse. Hype gets you there, it takes content to keep you there. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |
