Sorry, I didn't see it ! My bad. I would have reported it, even if AOA were #1, relax yourself .

I predicted on the original topic of AOA and PE charts that AOA would be #3 in the US and PE #5. As always, this prediction seems to be confirmed.

By the way, why people here are constantly opening new threas for the same topic ? There must be at least 5 topics for the charts of AOA and PE ! Nonsense.

They're projections dumbass - learn to read! It could come in higher, it could be lower - who cares? (except for WB and Prince).

And you will distort anything to uphold your negative view. You KNOW the industry is in decline, I've seen you lecture people about declining sales. FB likes (not a yard-stick of anything concrete) do not equate to sales - most people will d/load for free as you well know. It has nothing to do with the quality of the music. It is the way it is.

mindflux .. I am sorry u are so upset that I don't like u or your music, but following me around every thread and calling me names is kind of childish .. are u a child? .. i thought i saw a pic of u as some guy with fake dreadlocks .. u didn't look 7 or even 12 .. maybe u had a wig on .. i don't know .. for a guy who loves every little brown nugget prince poops out ur sure are an angry kid .. maybe that pretzelbodylogic song would cheer u up .. i know i know .. u just buy his records to look at the pictures .. i liked a bit of aoa .. gave an honest review .. good and bad .. but u .. ur just wack

In a day and age where Maroon 5 cant even go gold yet (300,000) with a hit single on the charts its best to be humble, and 45,000 is pretty good figuing this is Prince with no videos, no youtube channel with old videos, no actual commercial promotion I have seen.

It's crazy how all the album sales are low this week

Sales have been like this all year. Illegal downloads, iTunes, Spotify etc killed the album market, most people don't care about albums anymore. The only album that sold more than 1 million in the US in 2014 is the Frozen soundtrack, that's how bad album sales are now! There is nothing shocking about Prince's 40+20k, he should be happy he still has that many fans after being in the business for 36 years.

If the death of the album comes, which i think is only a matter of time, I will be so gutted. I've had so much fun listening to the cohesive and stellar AOA and to think we could be drip fed singles in the future makes me so sad, I just can't seem to digest singles in the way I can albums.

You inflate your importance as always (eg. Prince nicked some of my lyrics, Prince will only have made a good album because I've complained so much, you're following me around on a forum (despite the fact this is only the third reply to you in about a month!))......speaking of stalking, you're the one checking out pictures of me.....!!

I don't give a fuck what you like or don't like......I will make comment when you act like a c**t, which is all too often. Back to the playpen, Ayrehead!

Both albums, however good they may be, are heading straight for the dreaded Flop Zone.

''Mr. Nelson, Mr. Nelson, can you hear my voice?
Sir, we know you're a little bit groggy
And you're probably going to find it hard to speak
But don't try to talk or process too much now.''

Amazon U.S. carries as an import for about 50 bucks!

It took a year to sell 1 million copies of Lovesexy in the U.S..

Well, my local best buy started out with about twenty AOA CD's and twenty PE CD's as of Sunday the store still had about 14 PE CD's and 4 AOA CD's left.

AOA will be his 15th album in the top ten album U.S. Billboard charts.

Here are the figures from Itunes only, then take into account pre-orders through Amazon, the WB site etc... Shop sales I think it will be pushing a couple million

AOA - Total 288,980

PE - Total - 166,027

Where did ya get those exaggerated sales figures?

Please share the link.

he's sinking low on iTunes... he was on the real top but months-old albums are already taking his place, at least here in the US.

.

Was hoping P would get a number 1 album with this, but hopefully still Top 5

.

BTW it's cool how everyone knows P dropped an album.. Literally! It was pretty big in the news and I had people asking me about it (which they do every time they hear his name, for some reason)

I will find the link again on my laptop when I get home later, it was a pretty conclusive list of all iTunes sales since 2013 in order of how many sold, and even had the Units sold for yesterday (15k ish I think it was)

That's impossible. The 3 biggest markets in the world (US, UK and Japan) make only 60/65 k for AOA, and about 40 k for PE. These albums almost missed evry top ten in THE WORLD.

Your numbers are totally inflated.

Are you sure your numbers include digital sales and are not just CD sales? If the numbers you quoted are only CD sales, the digital totals posted are certainly possible as digital accounts for the vast majority of sales.

Total sales : digital + physical copies, even preorder.

The US figure, still not complete is an estimation but really accurate.

The daily charts on UK, US and Japan showed that Prince charted higher the fisrt days of release, in the end of the week, Prince charts lower.

Why ? Because every prince's fan buy the CDs the first day, the other day it's just casual fans or consumers.
