[Edited 4/7/09 21:31pm] dude with the turquiouse hat right? who is that??Yes, I have no idea, but that fans' arms were annoying.  Did you notice they showed more of the show this time than the first time it aired. They also showed it more from the side this time, and you could see the performance much better. FG,FB, FW sounds good live. I saw some familiar faces of fans this time as well.[Edited 4/7/09 21:41pm] | |

Number23 said: Doesn't this mean just 60k has been sold? If he's actually shifted more then 180k units I'd be very surprised. I'd think it counts as three for each cd. Then there are the bulk numbers which worldwide distributors have bought from Target - thousands, likely. I'd love for this CD to be a huge success, but, I'm realistic. Holding back the worldwide release might just be a marketing move to boost his first week position in the US. Another unique chart cheat from the wee man!
No i do not believe that that is the case.When Prince dropped emancipation they counted both album because of the Price of $60.00 not a price of 11.98 so,i'm sure counting all three album is not case.And yes i chk Billboard and these are the actual numbers for next week. | |

186,000 x $11.98 = $2,228,280.00 Now how much of that is Prince's Cut???  it almost certainly cost more than that to produce those three albums.  Not even. This is Prince not Michael Jackson. Prince can do most of it or all of it at home. What does it cost him? Musicians? That's a laugh. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

[Edited 4/7/09 21:41pm] yes I did notice a different edit!

I guess the West Coasters will get to see it tonight as well. Not sure what time Leno airs on the West Coast. The repeat show could possibly boost sales of the cd tomorrow. We shall see.

What does it cost him? Musicians? That's a laugh. how much does it cost prince per year to keep l.a. studios on retainer? figures were posted recently. how much did prince spend making 'tmbgitw'? figures have been published. i'm just saying, prince can go through $2 million pretty quickly. it's unlikely that he has compiled three albums plus videos plus marketing for under $2 million. anyway, i don't think the target figures are any measure of his take. likely he received a sizable advance on the target deal and has no more financial stake in future sales. it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die | |

for that matter, what are the operating expenses of paisley park? even though he pays people squat, he still has a full staff.
these things aren't free. and everybody, before we go off on a tangent about the metric shitload of money he made from the '21 nights' shows, or the book (heh), or the advance he got from the daily news for 'planet earth,' recall that the point of contention here is how much money it likely cost to make the three new albums, not whether or not he stands to profit from the deals surrounding it in the long run. it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die | |

Congrats to the man on another #1 album (Provided Billboard numbers hold up ) This is gonna surprise alot of people . Numbers came in much higher than original estimates Should surprise TIMBALAND. Hey Timbaland, looks like Prince is looking for you on the charts but he gave up since he can't see you down there. YOUNT!!! | |

daPrettyman said: japanrocks said: honestly this news means nothing except for the fact that Bria will get the party and some of us will be invited!!
Not really....it means that BRIA had a number one debut album. One that debuted at number one. That's unheard of...especially with no airplay for a debut artist. He needs to hurry and get her on Dancing With The Stars to perform Everytime. That struck me, too. It'll be interesting to see to what extent they exploit this angle -- and with what success. Girl is gonna have to seriously bring it now to maintain any level of interest and respect she may have gained through this. This will either really help or really hurt her. In the meantime, congrats to them both.  Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Congrats! I gotta keep it real, the Bria album is kinda whack, but the 2 Prince records are GEMS, they truly deserve the #1 spot.
I wish u heaven | |

prime said: I am shocked that Diamonds and Pearls never made it to #1....that was huge.... And THAT just shows you the state of the music industry today. D&P sold almost 6 million worldwide (2m in USA I believe) and yet it only got to No.3. Kids just ain't buying records no more! 'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.' Mayte 21st April 2016 = the saddest quote I have ever read! RIP Prince and thanks for everything. | |

As Prince is now so popular when Alex Hahn`s malicious book `The Rise & Fall Of Prince` has a reprint will he change the title 2 `The Rise & Fall & Rise Again Of Prince` as since it was published Prince has had a biggest grossing US tour of the year with Musicology,performed 4 120 million at The Superbowl,sold a record breaking 21 nights at the O2 arena & has had 2 number 1 US albums!!
Congratulations Prince.Now can we please have a proper international release & can u tour the world as Lotusflow3r could be huge & deserves recognition. Hold On 2 Ur Wigs!! | |

Number23 said: newpower99 said: No. Its a legit 186k units . How do you know? [Edited 4/7/09 13:34pm] i dont think that a 2CD or a 3CD set makes it appear as two or three times the amount sold anymore, not like it did when emancipation came out, they changed the rules a couple o years back i think? | |
