I guess that discount at Target helped, as Lotusflow3r re-enters the Billboard 200 this week at #183 (for a 14th cumulative week on the chart):

It also re-enters the R&B album chart at #22 (for a total of 27 weeks charted):

... that's cool, the more P CDs for me.

I guess that $6.50 sale was successful.

madison said:

That's so obviously not the general experience though, is it? So, just a pointless, trolling remark. I mean, it charted worldwide, but we're supposed to believe your soundbite "nobody digs Prince anymore" - you need to get some perspective!

Yes!

Brilliant response. Nothing more needs to be added to a moronish statement from a sparkly glove lover. What a piece!!! Be wild Mindflux!!

i had to import my copy...and ended up paying more for it that the store eventually sold it on the shelves for
even though my copy was in the same order as store stock

Wait until his appearance at the Grammys, his album will peak again.

nobody digs Madison anymore

That's great but when I walked through Target, looked like nobody was picking up "Lotusflow3r". What's wrong with people....just because they have no idea what it sounds and haven't heard any of the tracks on there.

well i got my $6.50 copy and i was a helpful supporter who helped him get back in the charts

*Wishes we had Target in NZ*

madison said:

Well MJ had to pass away for his cd's to move. If Prince had to die for his cd's to disappear I'd rather his cd's collect dust on the shelves.

Good for Prince, he won't be happy at that price though!

Or would Target have paid him upfront?

Dying does do wonders for sales (not to mention reputations).

From suspected pedo to modern day saint, says an awful lot about where we are today.

madison said:

people should stop comparing prince to MJ, they are completely different in style, substance and artistry. both have their strong points. people still dig Prince, of course they do, thats why LF is in the charts, he is nominated for grammys and people flock to his concerts, even with all the youtube blocking, and changing name business, people still DIG (if you will) Prince!

Cool, I think I will go by Target and pick up a few to give as presents to friends as a gift. Go Prince Go!!! To all the haters on the internet NO MORE CANDY 4U!!!

madison said:

Nonsense

I saw Lotusflow3r on sale last week at Target as well. There was only maybe 12-15 copies available.

I would imagine between X-mas and the Grammy's Target could sell most of their surplus Lotusflow3r CDs. I guess that would make them collector's items.

LF at #183 ?... haha...


Prince sure ain't moving record sales
