I'm just waiting to hear how it will eventually be a "flop" in england. I mean surely by the time it actually gets released there everyone who wants a copy will have one! | |

How rididculous! Urban Legend?! Prince's records always sell incredibly well! Not only that but he finds means in which 2 sell more copies as well. Bsides this triple disc set was crimminally inexpensive...nearly a give away!
Thanx Prince...u truly love ur fans...something he show over and over again!   U  !! | |

Yes , all freeleechers downloaders , buy the ORIGINAL Prince 3 cd set Lotusflow3r now!!!!!  ofcourse I download that album illegally when he releases it in the US on March 28th and then it's not available here until the first week of May.....I take it that P could not find a supermarket-chain like Target here for such a stupid deal.....and hell no, I ain't paying $77 for three so-so albums.....  | |

So how's the album doing in other countries? Hang on, that's right, there's no official release outside the US. Oh, I remember now, every fan outside of the States is STILL waiting to be ripped off my some middleman importer. Go Prince.  In the meantime, there's people on here buying multiple copies so Prince will be "number one", and those extra copies will end up forgotten in a drawer. but the money will still be made from those forgotten copies, which i think is the bottom line here. | |

We can...well I do. I have all of Keith Urbans CD's. Apart from the latest one, not sure when it will be released in the UK. No worries, he will put on a good show Miguel.  | |

I was just reading this as well... If we (us, the funky folk) get beat out by a "NOW" Compilation....the horror! lol... For the record, the Target in Flatbush Brooklyn had the advertisements and decals for the CD, but on the escalator trip upstairs, the hanging "Prince Lotus Flow3r" poster is behind a hanging easter bunny thing.. lol.. very disrespectful! Tsk Tsk, What a pity...sometimes Life can be so shitty.... | |

Billboard won't announce this week's number one album until Wednesday morning. But it looks like Prince is going to wind up #2 after all. I'm surprised that Keith's total didn't go up in between the 55 and 70% updates, but I think the 149k for Prince will be his final tally. If Target has already reported all their numbers then that's as high as he can go. Urban's disc still has other retailers to hear from.
I really hope "Lotusflow3r" can pull it off, but I won't be too upset if it comes in in second place. It will be his 4th consecutive top three studio album; he's never had that many in a row before. And of all the people he could lose out to, Keith Urban isn't so bad. At least he's a talented musician who earned his fan base from years of touring and working hard. People bad-mouthing him on here just because he outsold Prince sound very ignorant. |

If that's true, Urban will pass him. This will be sometime tomorrow as I am guessing that no more numbers will be reported today. Does anyone know how Target reports their numbers. I am hoping that they are holding some back until tomorrow. Or perhaps Prince's numbers have maxed out. From the earlier reports, they obviously did not report all of their numbers at once. But then Prince shot up to 147K. I've got a guitar that can part the sea. | |

The guy is 51 years old and is still poppin off #1, 2 or 3 on Billboard. Amazing! Now add it's in one store chain. 
Prince really has brought his career to another level since 2004. Ignore the huge 20,000 seat arena tour, but after that - he has found cool interesting ways to make allot of money with not much work! Fun work! I have to be honest I didnt think this album before it was released was going to make it to the top 20! | |

I'm sorry but if I like them, I like them. No apology is necessary, it's perfectly okay to like whoever you like.  There seems to be a lot of people who like MJ and Prince, according to the number of MJ threads I've seen started here on the org. In fact, I've seen some orgers complain about the number of MJ threads that people start in the Music Non-Prince forums. Not sure if that is true with Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston, but I do see a lot of MJ threads around here. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

Prince will be up there for a week or 2 but Urban will stay up there. Like Billy says in Purple Rain. ain't nobody digging your music but yourself. but now it should read nobody digs Princes music but us. Nobody under 35 buying Prince and there missing out but thats the truth
[Edited 4/5/09 14:05pm] Nope. My Roommate and I are both 25 we have every album and then some and our apartment is laced with Prince Posters, both of our cars have prince decals on them (which must make people in our small apartments complex think "what the f..." lol ) [Edited 4/6/09 3:36am] you guys are not the norm. there aren't many. Prince seems to always be complaining too about airplay. First off radio on plays about 12 songs a day. And radio is driving by 15 to 25. If he wants to get a little love he needs to be a little more fam friendly with the youtubes and stuff. Don't get me wrong. I'm just trying help dude because he's about all I listen too | |
