Why? Because if he charts, he'll tour. If this shit dies, which I don't think it will, then he'll go back to sleep for another two years. Haven't seen him since 2004 damnit!

couldn't agree with you more!! no mention of a tour yet??

the last 2 charted pretty well and there was no tour.

i'm guessing if he went to all the trouble to open up a website and charge $77 to join it, it wasn't just for the same albums he's selling at Target and a few scattered dates in and around LA.


or maybe it's wishful thinking that there was actually some point to all of this

The Rainbow Children didn't chart well, Prince put on one of his best tours in support of it.

I don't think it's gonna chart well, but I don't think Prince cares, because the money's in the live shows.

I really hope he tours, because the songs he performed on Leno were great live, and I'd love to hear the new stuff on tour.

Well, imho, with ol' Mike back on the scene I'd bet he'd tour regardless, But who knows with him.

Planet Earth charted at #3 in the US. It would be unjust for Lotus to miss the top 20.

Agree. Album Sales = Tour. Global Sales = World Tour. World Tour = More Prince music & Prince vs MJ comparisons (all over again) which may = Prince/MJ collaboration. Imagin that!

I hope he won't forget that over the years,he always had more success in Europe. don't forget the lovesexy era. I hope he remembers the loyalty of his european fans.

it;s going 2 chart 4 sure especially with his high profile appearances at The Tonight Show, Target tie-in and LA Live. I won't b surprised if it's #1 next week! Looking 4ward 2 the summer tour!

You don't really like him anyway and have nothing good to say , so why do you care?

if prince really is the biggest fan of prince himself (like someone stated in another post) why would he make an album such as planet earth ? I can't imagine that he even liked this cd himself

These days touring has nothing to do with albums or singles charting.

Nothing from LF is going to chart, you gotta accept that and just enjoy the music and hope that a Prince tour comes near you.
