Okay, after the shortest surrender ever, I am back to reporting whatever numbers I can find. The song was falling off Amazon this morning, I believe at 394, and is now back up to 325.

I BELIEVE!

The irony is, it's not so much that I think the song is a classic, it's a nice pop song that has a good vibe to it but not on my Top 50 or Top 100 list. What my goal with this thread was to notate the chart success (or sometimes lack thereof) of the song because I am a fan of Prince having hits, even though it will do nothing for me personally and it's not like I will receive a dime from my cheerleading efforts.

I get it. I feel the same way but after the "why do peeps care about hits" (close enough) thread, I got tireed. Thanks for keeping us posted!

fuck it, as always the moment is long gone just like his interest. Wayyy too much good music out there to enjoy..oooh look here's a video just ahead of the single with the album available for pre-order on itunes for a mid May release...enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/wa...B-5XG-DbAA

Are you reading the same information that the rest of us are reading? It looks like it is selling but not getting airplay which may have a lot to do with P's age. It kind of shows that people like but not the radio Gods.

I don't think age matters that much. He doesn't act old so unless a person knows his age, I don't think they'd think he's 55. Look at Steven Tyler.. he still does whatever he wants and most people eat it up. P still looks and sounds great so I don't see any reason for his age to hinder his career.

I'm not sure that's a factor in this case. It *is* making it to radio and it *is* getting spins... however, the listening audience has to be enthused about it for it to get more spins. I'm sure this is more a reflection of the song than his age.

Exactly! This statement is tte most accurate I ever read on here.....EVER!!!

FALLINLUV is a great little pop song.

No, it's not. I was born in the seventies, my interest in music was heavy, and the 80ies were a fantastic period for great pop music. There were so many talents who delivered excellent pop music, prince was one of them. Compared with all the great work from this era I can say that this song is NOT a great pop tune. Even nowadays there is so much better pop music out there.

It's a better song than Jughead or 1999 The New Master, but it's not great.

No Billboard Hot 100 debut this week. No Mediabase Top 50 Airplay. Bummer.

It does not matter to us the music buying public but radio spends a lot of money on market research and they care about the youth because they do buy the most music and products. Radio stations make their money from ads and the advertisers want people to buy stuff. This is what ultimately makes a radio station decided on their format and what age group they are trying to reach.

I think P looks great for his age and has a good mind for young pop music but just like other older artist he is not getting radio play. He would probably be better off working as a producer or songwriter.

I disagree! What about Pharrell? He is considered old in his 40's. But looks young and he still has the number one song played EVERY hour. Jay- Z if reports are right, he is closing in on 50 and still has top 10 hits & radio play. It can be done! Prince just isn't signed to a major long term contract. That is the only difference. R Kelly is another one. He has a hit with Lady Gaga.

Does somebody, anybody have any good news about the song today or should I fold up the tents again for the 15th time?

Looking on CNN's app this morning and they had an ad for FALLINLOVE2NITE. Don't know if that's somehow triggered by all the Prince music on my phone. Big brother has ways..... Either way, cool to see the ad.

I get that iTunes ad for the song absolutely everywhere I go that has ads--it's wasted on me, since I bought it the first day (from Amazon, so I guess it's doubly wasted--I'll buy the next thing from Amazon too, if possible). Like I asked earlier, is this campaign only hitting us, or are the great masses also getting the push? Ads that are too focused aren't going to accomplish much--but I certainly understand that it wouldn't do any good for them to be popping up for my mother-in-law (who as far as I can tell has no response to music of any variety).
