This is semi-related to ivdf's thread.

Do you guys think P will make more money from Musicolgy than from Emancipation?

He is selling a lot of CD's at his shows which are Soundscanned and he has Sony releasing the record.

He is touring and his video is on BET/VH1/MTV so people know (The general public who may not have been aware of his musical activities like the longtime supporters.) that he has a new CD out.

Plus, Prince is in the AFM and his label is a Signatory. And he owns his publishing rights.

I think P is having his cake and eating it too. This is a good business model for indie and mainstream artists.
