Maury Povich: "We have the Soundscan chart results. Prince your CD is NOT #1!" Pissed off Prince fans stage a face-off, to demand exactly WHY Prince's CD did not come in in first place.   | |

So I guess the charts don't mean anything again, right?
And now watch it drop like a rock over the next few weeks. It'll be a miracle if it makes it to gold. No hard feelings. | |

It'll be a miracle if it makes it to gold. charts don't mean anything, but the cd making a #2 debut, so close to #1 caught most of us by surprise, especially with no radio play and only one retailer. To me that's impressive, but ofcourse you rather focus on the negative. | |

Prince may have pissed off a lot of people in the business, but there is no anti-Princey conspiracy. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I agree but it still does not stop the thought from crossing my mind i think there are definitely people in the industry who would not go out of their way to be fair to him, but it's hard to dispute the figures when target is the only retailer and target has a vested interest in him succeeding. in this case the point of trust is target, not soundscan or billboard. it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die | |

Well I'm proud the album debut at number 2, it could've been worse. Congrats Prince | |

Now I'm more concerned with how it will sell next week. I think it would be great if it could stay above 100K sold in week two, but I have my doubts. I really think more promotion will be needed for that. Also, I know he's not going for radio adds, but what's up with pushing a new video? That never hurts. | |

That´s cool for me.
3121 reached number one, and it didnt have any hits. And wasnt one of his greatest albums, too. |
