What will be interesting, maybe even moreso than Fallinlove2nite, is if the song gets airplay. The fact that over 20 US Top 40 radio stations played Fil2n a considerable amount bodes decently for the new song but will Warners put the same effort into it than Epic did, at least initally. Will a video be made, will Prince find other ways to promote the song, will the mainstream open up to it? Fil2n was a nice little party jam but The Breakdown is heavier. Will it get played or is the song just designed as a teaser for the album and it really doesn't matter? It would seem to me that Prince, if The Breakdown is truly one his favorite songs and he professed on Arsenio, would want to get it out there. Stay tuned!

So, you posit that Warners may not put in effort for the song? Laughable

I just posed a question...I think that based on Prince singles over the last decade we are in unchartered territory. What is this song exactly? Is it meant to be the first official single for the album or is it just a teaser to get some interest?I have no doubt that Warners will promote the heck out of it if that is what Prince wants.

Thanks for the update and yes hopefully we can keep this thread focused on the chart positions of the song and not opinions of the song's merits and virtues. Those should probably go in the sticky.

This is not a thread about John Legend! This is about MEGA SUPERSTAR Prince & his new "masterPiece" single "THE BREAKDOWN"! John although talented( And a very cool dude I met) doesn't come close to Prince's prolific nature .. Let's stay on the topic of this thread please..

No. 1 at audiomack .. And on my playlist

Yep. But the reason for that is because many people can't buy it yet--so make it available somewhere else quick, before non diehards lose interest.

#126 Prince - THE BREAKDOWN

jtfolden said:

On US Amazon as of this morning but no ranking yet.

"Breakdown" by Dawn McCarthy and Bonnie "Prince" Billy ranked at number 924,808.

The Breakdown is currently up to #125 on the "Top Songs" iTunes chart in the US as of 9:30 EDT.

And it still isn't released anywhere else! Maybe he forgot his password and can't log in to release it!

He needs to write those passwords down and keep them in a secure place.

He obviously got confused when they started making passwords more secure by needing 8 or more characters, at least 1 capital and 1 special character.

The old days were much better when all of his passwords could just have been, what.

At audiomack:

Alright, on US Amazon at #10,181 Paid in MP3 Songs. Probably just an hour's worth of sales. Look for it to leap up 1000s of spots by tomorrow.

Either US Amazon corrected it or it has already zoomed up , #1181 on US Amazon charts.

I'm not familiar with audomack, but I'm assuming it has no effect on chart performance?
