That ain't bad considering it's available ONLY at Target, and doesn't have a single or video promoting it.

What happened to the reports of Prince and Urbun already having sold 140,000+? At least he's ahead of Hanna Montana.

This i ALREADY posted yesterday
TODAYS UPDATE IS
YOUR WEAKEND TOP 10 (OR 15) CHART PREVIEW: The race for the top remains very close, but we’re giving Keith Urban a slight lead over Prince for #1 going into the weekend. Once again, at least half of the Top 10 will be debuts. Based on midweek sales, here's how things are shaping up:
** Keith Urban (Capitol Nashville) 170-180k
** Prince (NPG) 160-170k
** Diana Krall (Verve) 95-105k
Now 30 (UMe) 90-100k

oh that was an old update i posted

lwr001 said:

Isn't that 100% of Prince's numbers as he's only with 1 retailer? If Urban has been a big seller with lots of the others he'll leap ahead.

good question. not sure of that is 100% of target and 54% of all retailers. It is still a good showing. I am very happy for him

I'm crossing my fingers!

Pharaoh4TheMuse said:

well, for starters i see precisely none of that material on youtube, television or radio, and you have to pay $77 to see it on prince's site. the items in question are not really functioning as promotion.

and unless you heard those tracks on that radio station when they were played, prince's lawyers would probably be interested in speaking with you.

stanleylieber said:

Prince has a commercial playing during TV shows that garner 15-25 million viewers. I think that's a LOT more high profile than a music video or even an appearance on Leno.

jtfolden said:

I dont think many people buy albums based on commercials if they've not heard the full songs that are going to be featured there. Unless I'm simply a fan in general of the person in question. I see commercials all the time for U2, Taylor Swift & Englebert Humpledink, but I'd never in a million years pick up one of their CDs in a store unless I was hooked on one of their songs.

lezama said:

I never buy an album if the commercial only plays one of the artists songs during it.

I always think it's probably because they don't want you to know how crap the rest are.

fabsossa said:

note that Prince hasn't moved since the 54% tally.

Also note that Prince's tally is for two days only; last Sunday and Monday while Keith has the whole 7 days, Tuesday through Monday). He should do just as well next week

lwr001 said:

surely prince's tally is for a week and a bit?

no, the street date for new releases falls on tuesday. so, it is for sunday and monday only

lwr001 said:

but prince's album's been out for one week plus the extra Sunday and Monday.

I mean US charts aren't so rubbish they run a whole week behind are they?

I hope the man shocks me and stays at #1.

Any new updates today????

We are still celebrating Prince's great music...I pray 4 number One 2.
