1. No the first week sales were not about 35,000, they were in fact It debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 52,000 copies sold.
2. I never claimed Batman sold 11 million, in fact if you look at my thread here: http://prince.org/msg/7/455114
I state that I don't believe Batman ever sold 11 million and was asking why the Prince estate stated that it sold that high when it didn't.
3. The world is round Rod, not flat. No, the deluxe édition sold about 35.000 copies the first week according to HDD, Billboard and Nielsen Soundscan. I already posted the sources. You read it. . Already forgotten? (You never understood anything in the charts, especially official reports from Nielsen and Billboard.I remember you claimed Prince sold 5 millions s albums in the USa following his death! ) . The others 17.000 copies were the regular éditions + streaming. . I m not dissing Prince at all. In fact, you are too stupid to réalize that I am at 100 percent behind release s such as PR deluxe and Piano...1983. Contrary to most orgers. Too stupid that you confound criticism with realism. . I predicted the reissue would sold 60.000 copies worldwide the 1 St week? Well, that s really about what it sold. The rest was streaming and the regular édition, especially on vinyl. . I predicted P. Would never make top 200 again with à new studio album?Well, excuse me, he made it at #70.How great it is. . I predicted there won t be other reissues? I was right. . I predicted there won t be physical reissues of his original albums post 1995 ? I was right. Or maybe you re too naïve to believe they Will really release it at the end of 2019. |

what is he trying to prove...????? prince was not important anymore??? No, I don t try to prove anything. I just analize the news, from a more realistic perspective than most people here. Only based on actual sales and patterns. . Just to show : there are still some orgers that just went to post and really believe there would be physical reissues, with unreleased tracks...and on vinyl(!) . That is just impossible. Thèse albums were non existing since their initial release and were rapidly out of the public eyes. Fans already have them. . This deal is just about streaming music, and that is already good. Songs like Musicology, Call My Name and TMBGITW could get millions of streaming. . If somehow they succeed in releasing in VOD some of his tours, it could be a huge success. . I also think à new greatest Hits covering the post 1993 era could be useful to show to à larger audience that Prince had à carreer After that year [Edited 7/1/18 14:53pm] [Edited 7/1/18 14:54pm] |

Oh my god...the Guy Who claimed Prince sold 5 millions albums the weeks following his death in the Us... . I don t know if Hits Daily Double is Trump related, but in their June 27, 2017 edition, the Purple Rain expanded edition is at #5 with 33/37k copies sold. . Maybe Billboard and Nielsen are Trump related, but in their 7/2/17 top 200 charts, every éditions of PR combined sold 48.182 copies. It is also said it sold 4.000 in streaming, hence the 52.000 figure. . You probably weren t aware of it, but Purple Rain wasn't out of print in 2017, and the cd+ vinyle sold 11/15k copies the 1st week of PR deluxe release. . I already explained you that 12 Times, maybe more. . So I Guess you Will keep on telling the same lies next time. And you won t give à shit about actual numbers, from official sources and published accounts. |

Roddy boy, I don't CLAIM anything, you are the one with all the claims and everytime you estimate or claim something it is dead wrong.
You claimed Prince wouldn't land in the Billboard charts anymore, he did! You claimed there will be no more new phsyical releases from him released, there was and there is more on the way.
You claim I claim but when I pull up your old posts and threads you just look the other way and can't answer to your faults.
And what the hell is your obsession with Prince not selling anymore? That's the only time you ever pop up on the Org and post... Hell you even brought up the sales in a Jackson 5 thread here on the org, they were discussing the album and the song, what the hell does sales have to do with it?? [Edited 7/1/18 18:24pm] | |

No I never CLAIMED anything.
I simply posted the article from BILLBOARD:
In the year after Prince's death on April 21, 2016, the Purple One's catalog of albums and songs have sold a combined 7.7 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music, through the week ending April 13. Of that sum, 2.3 million were in traditional album sales, and 5.4 million were from digital song downloads. The bulk of his album and songs sales occurred in the month after his death: 5.65 million were registered between April 21 and May 19, 2016.
But then again, if you want to talk about CLAIMS I can bring up plenty more of your old posts and compile it into a thread to show how many false claims you have made and we can make a nice big list. Shall we? | |

[Wrong forum for political discussion snip - luv4u] . To get back on topic: . I see no real change coming, now that Sony got this deal, until someone with some mandate spells it out for us. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Any talk about sales is irrelevant. These are the legacy releases. Plenty of artists that are way more niche, way less famous, and way less impactful the prince have really well curated re-releases. Something like this is way way way way past due for prince. I said it before, he actually cared less about this kind of thing Than fans do. We are lucky to be getting these rereleases.

You are lucky to have re releases that don t exist. Did you read the topic? No re releases. Only digital music already released. . If WB thought of Prince as à niche market, they would have fought to re release 1999 deluxe, SOTT deluxe, etc. . Instead they prefer to expériment another alternative in the hope to make some profit, and this is really clever from them (Piano and microphone). . Prince is no Sly Stone. It Will never be exploitéd commercially as à niche artist. Thèse are not the same kind of contracts : WB obviously paid à lot of money for their récent releases. They have to make their money back. They worked on PR deluxe for about 3 years, knowing this was in talks since at least 2004...The estate and WB tried this Way of deluxe release, but obviously they think this is not the best option. . If Sony REALLY succeed in putting all the post 1995 material in Spotify at the same time in the following weeks, they Can make some huge streaming numbers, maybe à new record. . Correct me if I m wrong, but there are more Prince material released After 1995 than before. This is a situation almost unprecedented, because there are not many artists with So many songs available. . This could make great publicity and exposition for Prince, even for relaunching the WB catalogue. . Of course, this should have been done 2 years ago... TMBGITW was the 3rd most played song on the radio After Prince death, but was impossible to buy, to stream, to own... . Since its release on YouTube lately, the music vidéo has two Times more views (2.2 millions)than SOTT. Call My Name (1.6 millions) two Times more than Take me With You. . Musicology has only 500.000 views, but it was available on YT for years and passed the 5 millions mark. Etc. . If the same pattern follows on Spotify or I tunes, thèse are really great news.

Despite your frustration from you all, and despite mine too, because I d really love to see that ( I don t have an official copy of Gold, too young for that) there won t t be physical re releases. . So you are the trolls, since you obviously didn t read the original statement. |

I think it's obvious from this thread that y'all are the problem. Not Prince. Not the Estate. The guy isn't here anymore and you're still questioning decisions. | |
