Amen. Though, I think we're referring to entirely different things... diiinnnooo said: people who aren't his fans don't give him any attention
 Funny the way that works, innit? but what were you referring to? :p I was referring to that Prince works hard on his music but still doesn't get acknowledge by his talent, people are stuck on how weird he is. | |

ButterscotchPimp said: Again, (and i can't believe it's ME that has to do this) I feel the need to get ya'll to focus on a couple of things.
Firstly, the album is AMAZING. Debuting at #2 doesn't make the album any less impressive than it is. Secondly, Prince limited himself by only releasing the album at Target. To be honest, if he hadn't done that who knows what the debut might have been? And the fact that he came in at #2 and it was only sold at one retailer, makes #2 actually MORE impressive in my book. (this is a WEIRD day on the Org when i'm the positive one) (maybe i should go back to bed)  I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

It's very simple.
after 20 years of being Prince fans, the fans do know where they can download. Just because of all the fan sites. The new artists don't have that. So most people need to buy the albums of them. So in fact Prince will always be winning, and losing on the other side. dilemma | |

Considering the lack of promotion and airplay, I think those numbers are excellent. It would have been nice if the album debuted at #1, but Prince still did very well. Congrats PRINCE! "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

I am one of those who likes this CD but does not love it and that is OK. As far as the charts go, 3121 was released and when to #1 the first week but like this CD, without the energy of a decent single, watch the free fall begin. My desire for a decent single or two will be to increase the energy about a tour that will have some new stuff being played that the masses will also be into and not just us die hards. | |

Lack of promotion.... really? Really? I can't remember the last Prince album that had commercials for it airing in prime time in front of 15-25 million people during the hottest shows of the season. | |

[b] Man Prince is the real King, we all know that, but why doesn't he hit the talk show circuit now and push this album over the top? It is like once the cd hits the stores P loses any intrest he may of had in it. And how da hell do I download the music from the site??? Oh yeah, P... stop suing everyone that loves U dearly and learn 2 ride the rollercoaster U have created!!! U don't see me trying 2 sue U over U using my voice on the rave DVD without my permission... U remember the Fountain Bleu in Miami?... October 9 1999. Learn 2 lighten up. Live 4 Love. Isn't that what U said??? DOES ANYONE HAVE FOOTAGE OR PICS FROM OCT.9 1999 AT THE FOUNATIN BLEU IN MIAMI??? ORG NOTE ME IF U DO...PLEASE!!! | |

NDRU said:[quote] dag said: I know Parade & Lovesexy took me a while to love.
Lovesexy did? I thought that one was totally catchy and full of pop appeal. Straight from the get go it has you wanting to dance. Parade took a while to sink in, but once it does, it sinks in deep. And as far as #1 or #2 goes, I have a question: are all of the unsold copies of Lotusflow3r counted? At the two Targets by me, they both have a large display full of unsold units. If they do count, then that is all bad, as Target is not likely to repeat the deal if they are stuck with boxes of unsold product. | |

I did not see any posts about this here but PRN fell from #2 to #9 on Billboard.
http://www.billboard.com/...lboard+200 Maybe his date with Ellen will push it back up a few spaces. What is the deal with Bria? I have not heard a peep out of her. Why is she not making the rounds and working her CD? | |

1817 said: Maybe his date with Ellen will push it back up a few spaces. I doubt it. The big advertising push resulted in the majority of Prince diehards buying the record in the first 2 weeks. Most new releases by known artists debut high and then rapidly fall unless there's some hit singles on them, and there will be no hit singles played on the radio from this CD. Will be nice to see him on Ellen though. | |

If they do count, then that is all bad, as Target is not likely to repeat the deal if they are stuck with boxes of unsold product. It doesn't usually work that way. SoundScan numbers are only for units SOLD not units SHIPPED as it used to be back in the day. Also, Target will able to return all unsold units for credit. Since the end-cap displays were part of the agreement, no doubt the product in those displays was provided either on a "only pay for what you sell" or "return what you have not sold after x-number of days for credit" basis. Not sure the exact details of Prince's distribution deal with Target but traditionally CDs are one of the few products that retail outlets are not stuck with if they can't sell them. | |

#9? He was supposed to be #8. CONspiracy! • Did you first think Prince was gay? •
Wendy: He’s a girl, for sure, but he’s not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman. Lisa: Totally. He’s like a fancy lesbian. | |
