Maybe a whole new breed of Prince fan's around ?

I guess the Ebony cover stimulated a few sales (not to mention that the album is $4.99 at Target).

AND the fact that with record sales being at an all time low, 50 copies a week might suffice for such a ranking

well, it is selling for $5 and is still on the end caps at Target......

In this day and age, why do cd's ever cost more than $5? I went to Borders the other day and I could not believe that they were still trying to hawk cd's at $18!

a major reason why people don't actually buy cd's anymore...

This week Lotusflow3r is now at #56 at Billboards R&B and Hip Hop album chart and is now 53 weeks on this chart....

because when they're $5, the artist isn't getting paid. in this case, Prince got paid up front, and Target is just trying to unload the thousands of copies clogging up their warehouses.

I think Target is a smart retailer and this has always been in the marketing plan, the Warehouse is not clogged with Prince CD's stop being so over the top this is business (retail) they don't work like that with artist like Prince....

So fucking what. People are buying the cds and that is what matters. [Snip - luv4u] Music is barely selling and P may have found a manner in which he can move CDs and still put some money in his pocket and this fact is killing your jealous [Snip - luv4u].

This is so aggressively sexist and misogynistic. How do accounts get canceled around here?

That really was over the line, is this really that serious?

How come these folks don't get banned, but you let someone else say some mess like this or even talk to a mod about there concerns and BAM!!!! 14 days banned-there is something wrong with that.

Good to see it's still on the charts but, honestly, I could care less what the powers that be "chart it". I like it and that's all that counts, doesn't it?

Thanks for postin' it linus4000

LOL could your ignorance scream louder.

IMO, it gets weird when you have mods stepping in and editing people's posts, snipping words, etc. It's like Prince subbing "pants" for "ass"... The words are still there. Why are you removing them? Big Brother, much?

That being said, this site has always been mod-trigger-happy and if you post here, you're given (like with any site) ample opportunities to read the forum rules about conduct. If you don't like the way the site is run, be it right or wrong, then it might be your turn to move on or simply lurk.

The mods here have always been biased. There are MANY people up in here that are able to say what they want, without any penalty. Everyone has their opinion, and should be able to speak and post freely. 60% of the people on this site, are haters and just plain miserable people. These scrounge exist here just to berate and ridicule others. This won't change. But, the mods picking and choosing who they chastise, pis sickening and cowardly. [Edited 6/25/10 12:48pm]

Well most of mods are haters so why would they ban the haters they actually agree with.

I find the removal of profanity to be laughable since this is a Prince message board. P was the king of foul language yet some mod is so offended the words have to be removed.

I guess the mods on this board are in elementary school and their poor eyes were burning from the profanity.
