Prince challenging Industry again?

In a another post in refernce to some footage promoting the new project. I noticed something; the comment the newscaster made and I posted this. Didn't know if there was discussion on this, if so sorry..if not than have at it.

I have a question, as far as marketing? Notice how the guy speaking mentioned how Prince as come up with "new" way of promoting his protege; being bundled with him? Okay my ? is how will the sales be counted? I have to admit this is smart, because... if this is like his marketing trick he did with Musicology being bundled with concerts, well Bria will be a hit...regardless I'm thinking. Is he once again challenging the industry?
Any thoughts?

I think he just wants to get her heard and this is the best way to get it to all his fans. I doubt I'd buy it as a separate purchase, so there is one extra sale already.

I don't expect each album to chart individually, if they are even chart eligible at all.

Why wouldn't they be chart eligible? and yes I have to agree that, this is a good marketing tool to get her heard. This must be what was intended for Tamar's
and the only difference I am seeing is this time no record company (Universal).
hmmmm.....we might have to wait and see, I have this feelong there is more to this.

It's an attempt at it! There is no doubt about that!

The truth lies with the sales numbers! Where do the greatest numbers reside...with the fammy fams that will buy anything he has to offer or with the discerning fans that expect VALUE and RESPECT for their hard earned dollars?

We'll all KNOW the answer by the end of next week! cool

It is almost an impulse buy -3 CD's for $12. Who can resist? Casual buyers will bet on it if they like Prince even a little.Smart move if you ask me! If even one song earns radio play, watch out!

No idea, just a random thought thrown out there. It doesn't really worry me either way and I'm sure that Prince isn't too concerned either. If they do chart, then I can only see it happening as a pack and not as single discs. It would be silly if they counted together, we'd have 3 number 45's on the chart in the first week of sales.
lol

Well, at least he's trying to really give her a chance-wish he would have done the same with Tamar and so many others.

Prince challenging the industry? To what? Accept the fact that he included a coaster with his latest studio release? confuse hmmm
• 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.
