What does "re-entry #1" mean beside Purple Rain? Surely in a 25 year time that's not the first time that album reentered the charts?

Don't get me wrong, i love the album and if he hadn't limited himself to Target only he might've gotten to #1. I don't know who posted that other chart but i got Soundscan this morning, and he came in second to Keith Urban.

Doesn't make the album any less impressive.

I guess what "hurts" more is missing #1 beacuse of 3.000 copies, that is a very little amount.

Yeah, it's sickening. Maybe not that extreme but it sucks.
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
