The top 20 pop albums sold fewer than a total of 750,000 CDs last week. You read that correctly. The actual total was 738,211. The number includes 220,000 copies of a greatest hits singles collection from all the labels, "Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 22." Without “Now 22,” regular releases came in around 500,000 copies. I have always found this very stupid and wondered about it. Why in the hell would you release a compilation album of songs that are still in style? Why the hell would someone buy an artist's album if they can get the song they want on a compilation along a bunch of other songs they like while they are still in style? The only people that are going to buy the artists' albums are the ones that are fans of that artist already. Hell, back in the K-Tel days, a song had long been out of style before a compilation came out. I think these labels are all working together, making their money, and screwing these artists. ----- Yes, these compliations hurt the artist but, I don't think they can do anything about it. I think once you turn in that master you no longer have control. | |

That's why I didnt buy 3121 Even though it was placed in some places for 9$ ----- You did not buy 3121 because you are not a Prince fan at all. I can't figure out why you keep coming to this board. Nothing is wrong with 3121. The public is just not buying CD's like they use to. It is effecting everyone. | |
