He promised her. He lost the bet. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

[Edited 4/7/09 13:33pm] Nope, you're a "hater" because you didn't come here to post "WHOOOO HOOOO PRINCE IS NUMBER ONE !!!1111!!!!!1111 SUCKAZZZZZ". Anything less than unconditional support without understanding the results in one being a "hater". I, too, would be interested in finding out if the album counts as "3" instead of "1". Not that it would change my opinion of the album or anything because we all know that these types of things (chart positions/album sales) don't matter to Prince. Right? It doesn't. That's got nothing to do with "hating" or being a "fam" or whatever. That's the fact. For Soundscan, one unit scanned (sold) is one unit scanned. Whether you think he went out and bought all the copies himself or you think the whole country's gone crazy for him, the fact stands that 186 thousand copies of Lotusflow3r were sold in America last week. |

Slightly off topic, but has anyone been to Target this week? Are the big displays still there? Might help maintain some momentum. "I Was FINE Back in the Day!" | |

PRINCELY TOTAL
Keith Urban, Diana Krall, UGK and Flo Rida All Bow in Top 10, as David Cook Re-Enters April 7, 2009 Thanks to Target, the Artist formerly known as the Artist Formerly Known As hits #1 on this week’s HITS Top 50 Album sales chart. A Prince by any other name, the Purple One parlays his retail exclusive, the introduction of a dedicated website, a trio of performances on The Tonight Show and another three live sets at L.A. Live into a chart-topping debut for his three-album, $11.98 set, dubbed Lotus Flow3r for short. The album moves an impressive 186k in its first week. It’s his first album to bow at #1 since 2006’s 3121 for Universal Republic, which had been his lone previous chart-topper since the 1989 Batman soundtrack. Capitol Nashville’s New Zealand cowboy Keith Urban lives up to his album’s Defying Gravity title by rising to #2, with an impressive 177k in sales. Bet wifey Nicole Kidman is proud.

I think with Billboard, the set is only counted once, so it will be interesting to see if they attribute the #1 to Prince and Bria Valente or just Prince. If the RIAA certification goes by number of discs in the package, wouldn't Prince only be counted twice and Bria once? | |

Pretty f-ing cool actually. I really didn't think this was gonna make that big of a splash, obviously the deal and promo paid off. Congrats P. | |

If Prince had listened to me a few years ago and married Nicole Kidman after she escaped from Tom Cruise, he'd have this #1 shit in the bag already.  | |

Number23 said: Seventeen said: I believe 1 set counts as one unit, but I could be wrong. Why can't you just give the man his due! He sold the set at an affordable price and did some decent promotion for it. Remember this is without radio or video airplay. Behave yourself. Read what I wrote. 'I'd love for this CD to be a huge success'. I always give Prince - or any artist - their 'due' when they deserve it. If the 180k is legit, then I'm first in the queue to congratulate him. However, only a [Snip - luv4u] believes all those copies went to 180,000 fans. Thousands bought by world-wide distributors. Thousands of extra copies bought by nutters. I'm not a hater just because I'm not blind. [Edited 4/7/09 13:33pm] I agree with Number23. Fuck you dorks who don't. | |

I think this is a good thing for several reasons:
1) Firstly, this will be his fifth album to debute at #1. It'll be very hard for even the most ignorant of folks to say he's an 80s phenomenon. I remember not to long ago that Fred Durst once said "When's the last time this guy had a hit record?"  Fuck you Fred.
2) The fact that the product he released is a solid product makes it better for buzz. Nothing was more disappointing than a so-so record like Musicology to generate so many sales, but be so lackluster that there was no buzz. This album will generate buzz cause it's got something for everyone...and it's done well. 3) It's price very reasonably. 12 bucks for 3 CDs? You can't beat that. So even if you're not 100% crazy about Prince, it seems like a good deal. 5) Every time Prince has a successful release, he always does something really bizarre to fuck things up. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. I've been bored lately--this will entertain me somewhat. | |

who is fred dursch??  Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews. | |
