Here's a link to the full chart:

Not bad considering 4ever came out in November 2016. It wasn't even released in 2017.

Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/

Purple Rain is the 98th best selling album of the year.

I guess that is pretty good.

So if PR sold another 300,000 copies it would hit the 4 million mark for soundscan meaning it should be recertified by RIAA.

Right not PR stands at 13x Platinum in USA last certified in 1996, it should be at least 16x Platinum by now in USA and if it sold another 300,000 it would hit the 17x Platinum mark.

Maybe that's why Prince wanted PR audited like he stated in the Tavis Smiley show in 2009.

It would make PR The Top 5 biggest selling albums in the USA instead of the 36 biggest selling album in the USA.

if they only audited PR maybe... but if they audited all the top 100 i doubt many would change position

Hello, they might have plans or get the plan to remaster these first.

But please do not hold your breath.
