way to go amiee mann...those are awesome numbers for an indie artist....and a true indie act, unlike prince...

are those numbers better then musicology's first week? im curious..

sosgemini said:

not even close . Prince did 191,000 in the first week of Musicology. 20,000 of those were concert "sales"

It is good on see Amiee on the chart again.

Gwen is doing nicely...

newpower99 said:

oh wow..so what the hell does prince need studio's for? i dont get it....pull an amiee mann or a ani difranco and be done with it..

I knew his album would be in the top 20 but dang it's at numero uno. Go Trent!

i just hope t. rizzle doesn't repeat his impressive feat from "the fragile" release- largest drop in sales (from first to like 24th or something like that)

SleezyG said:

T. Rizzle?


Yeah, I guess the true test will be to see how it does within the next 2 weeks. Even still going to number one aint bad at all.

VinnyM27 said:

Tell me about it. That's not good at all. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.....on another note, Mimi seems to be doing rather well. It's nice to see her having success again.

sosgemini said:

You mean go really indie?

uh hu.....

sosgemini said:

He did that with 'The Rainbow Children' album. It only went to #109 in the U.S. 'The Vault' says total sales since 2001 have been around 130,000.

sextonseven said:

now how can aimee mann (who was never as big as prince) out indie him? this is interesting.....does this just mean she has a more loyal fan base?

hmm....

sosgemini said:

I dunno. It could be a lot of things. How many stores actually carried 'The Rainbow Children' when it was released? Was it available at Wal-Mart? That makes a big difference. How well was each album promoted? Or maybe Prince fans heard about the jazz/JW theme and just didn't buy it? 'N.E.W.S.' did even worse (did not chart), but that's understandable being all instrumentals.

I think the bottom line is that Prince's hardcore fanbase nowadays is even lower that anyone previously thought. 'Musicology' benefitted from the exposure in stores and on MTV that a major label can buy you.
