Michael sold 7 million while sleeping and Prince? So Michael sold nearly 7 million albums this decade while sleeping.
Can someone please give us the numbers for all prince albums sold this decade so far.I want to check if all the Prince promotion on TV,Magazin, Interviews, Tours etc. did something for his sells.Especially the musicology project was huge in terms of promotion he was everywhere!And don´t forget his fight against youtube. So if you combine all Prince albums this decade and he doesn´t come over 10 Million it is a hugh dissapointment.And if he even couldn´t sell 7 million I want never ever again hear on this forum Michael is a "has been". If Michael is a has been with 7 million while sleeping what is prince?? Not living?? So where are Prince numbers?? [Edited 10/7/08 12:23pm] | |

Monk76, I understand you're an MJ fan like me, but you're just putting yourself in a corner..... "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

Another thread for generally the same thing discussed in the other thread wasn't needed I think. How about a thread about one of my favorites, thelonious monk?  | |

?? Just a simple question. And I want an answer nothing more. I mean Prince isn´t doing all the promotion for charity he wants to become number 1 on his bank. Promotion costs a lot of money, time and nerves for an artist like prince so I want to find out if it all worked for him in terms of sells. So how many this decade?? | |

You can close it as soon as I got the answer to my question. Why is it forbidden to ask for a number???? It´s a free country right?? [Edited 10/7/08 12:27pm] | |

Prince fans: something new about once a year. There it is right there! Speak the truth Graycap23! I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

the point is I just want a freaking number. Is it so hard to understand? Why is everyone so afraid to post a number. So are his record sells documented or not? [Edited 10/7/08 12:30pm] | |

Sales are overrated. | |

Besides, isn't this a question better suited for the Prince:M&M section?
If I may add, the question sounds like once the OP gets the answer, it'll be the OP's way of trying to prove who's the best when sales of an artist doesn't mean anything, high or low. Britney Spears has sold millions and the bitch can't sing for shit, so that says what? [Edited 10/7/08 12:33pm] I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince.

[Edited 10/7/08 12:30pm] I thought you point was that you never wanted to read of MJ as a has-been and that Prince is not living. The Beatles 1 sold 12 million in 2000. And two of them are DEFINITELY has beens and not living! My Legacy

Can someone please give us the numbers for all prince albums sold this decade so far.I want to check if all the Prince promotion on TV,Magazin, Interviews, Tours etc. did something for his sells.Especially the musicology project was huge in terms of promotion he was everywhere!And don´t forget his fight against youtube. So if you combine all Prince albums this decade and he doesn´t come over 10 Million it is a hugh dissapointment.And if he even couldn´t sell 7 million I want never ever again hear on this forum Michael is a "has been". If Michael is a has been with 7 million while sleeping what is prince?? Not living?? So where are Prince numbers?? [Edited 10/7/08 12:23pm] Unless everyone who bought a Prince album this decade stands up and identifies themselves, it is impossible to determine how many albums he has sold. Remember Billboard didn't count the sales he got for Musicology because it wasn't sold in the conventional sense. The same was done for Planet Earth and we know both of them sold over a million each. Your question is rhetorical and you know it. | |

Let's assume Prince sold less than 7 million, okay? My Legacy

he added a copy of musicology with every sold concert ticket, does that count as a sale?
planet earth was given away with a newspaper god knows how many times, does that count as a sale? does a foto-book with a cd count as a cd sale? does a hatbox with a cd-single count as a cd-sale? you can see why it's hard to keep track of his actual sales. I'm sure billboard or some other organisation has some numbers, but they hardly represent the full picture since P is trying his best to get his music released outside the usual record store circuit. It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis! | |
