does Target online ship to Europe? You should be able to buy it online here: http://www.target.com/gp/...B001TI3IB0 | |

Okay, I'm officially old. I can honestly say, I haven't heard of and can't name a single song by at least 5 of the artists on that list. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take my Geritol and play some Boggle. "I Was FINE Back in the Day!" | |

EAT A PURPLE DICK KEITH URBAN... ITS ALL ABOUT THAT MUTHAFUKIN LOTUSFLOW3R!!! I don't know what country you're from, but here in the USA, a whole bunch of Americans loooovve their country music, and Keith Urban is one of the biggest stars in country music right now. Having said, Keith Urban is more a crossover country/rock artist and is pretty good. Nevertheless, considering that Keith Urban's new album is available just about everywhere (even if everywhere means no more Sam Goody, FYE, Tower Records or Circuit City) and LOTUSFLOW3R was only available at Target,  this is a great showing for Prince. Plus Keith Urban is not going to get three nights in a row on Jay Leno nor five nights in a row on David Letterman like U2 did to plug his new album.
  I couldn't agree more. I dig KU's as well. Obviously I would love our man 2 hit No. 1 again. I just wish some folks could show better class that what was mentioned earlier. |

it would kinda resemble Prince's RR Hall of Fame when he was looking across the stage at, (who was it? Traffic??) thinking to himself "Who is he?? Sure don't look Urban.  I've played La Crosse... can he funk it in Chocolate City??"********************************************

It shows that enough people made the trip to Target to put Prince at the (perhaps almost) number one spot on the charts. Not bad!
Exactly!! That is awesome! Think WalMart, Best Buy, and all of them are noticing those numbers?  ********************************************

delirious said: How does the charting even work for this 3-cd set? I guess soundscan only gives him credit for one sale even though there are 3 CDs in the release?
I ask this because double albums used to chart as 2 units moved - I wonder how all this plays out now? Does anyone know? Thanks... good question... although the 11.98 price being average for a single cd might come into play...I guess...? ********************************************

No, No, No. SoundScan counts multi-disc sets as one total sale even if the package contains 10 CDS. | |

dumbass said: psychodelicide said: Me too. Keith Urban doesn't have anything on Prince (sorry, all you Keith fans). whether he is as good as Prince is irrelevant. someone could be a very talented musician in their own right with many deserved fans without being as talented as Prince. it isn't as if they are competing with one another and fans can only choose to buy one or the other. there is plenty of consumer dollars fdor both. I find it ironic that Prince fans adore a guy who attempts to convey positivity and yet are so jealous and filled with anger of anyone else. BURNNN!! good one, I was kinda kidding with mine, but you're absolutely right. Not a fan of country but shouldn't be dissing, either. don't hate...innovate ********************************************

Well said. The fact that Prince is even near the top is a feat all to itself. Especially as popular as country music is right now, country fans go out and spend money. Good job Prince. Very impressive! | |

U shud all do wot I do:- Whenever Prince releases a new album, & it doesn't reach no. 1, I can't help but place his CD display at the top spot 4 all 2 c. I know, its naughty, but at least for that moment it makes me feel good, feel better, feel wonderful! | |

What the fuck?
1) Who is Keith Urban 2) Why do Americans like country music so much? 3) Prince is never going to have another number 1 ... ever | |

It's ok to like other music other than Prince music. Some country is alright. You surely can't find ballads that are worth a shit other than on country music channels. And they are still having fun too. I like a lot of country music. It's really not too bad. And just like all music, I like the performers who can play. Keith Urban is one of those guys.
And, shouldn't a Prince fan's favorite country music performer be Brad Paisley? | |

Well to be fair, there are some country singers on there, "Now 30" is a compilation disc (it's the 30th disc from the Now That's What I Call Music series), and I'm assuming that "Twilight" is the soundtrack to the movie. Given all that, if you still don't know the others, yeah, break out the Boggle. | |

I picked up my copy today. The cd is placed on it's own rack at the entrance to the electronics section. The kid that rang me up said they've sold A LOT since Sunday. Sounds very promising. The only thing I'm upset about is that Windows Media player doesn't recognize the albums yet. When I put them in, they showed up as Lovesexy and 1999. I couldn't edit them either because it wouldn't allow me to add all of the trax. Welcome 2 the rat race! | |
