Musicology sold 2 million copies, 1 million through the concerts and over 1 million in store.

Then 3121 SOLD nearly a million, certifying GOLD status, add that to the 3 million copies given away for a small fee in the Sunday Mail and Including figures from his Back Catalog.

I'd say he sold close to 6 or 7 million of so copies...so LOCK THIS THREAD AND SHUT UP LMAO!!!

This decade, wows

Just the fact that u had to mention all of those albums compared to MJ's 1 album speaks volumes. I mean, are u serious? Prince needs to go to Marketing School.

y'all need to pass some liqua around

Plus we're arguing about which of our elders is better than the other, that's like saying Fred Sanford going against Archie Bunker for best scolding lines in a sitcom. Fuck outta here.

Obama has this to say about the thread:

O.M.Gee!

This news is a Godsend!

Prince really doesn't need to go to marketing school, because Prince does what he wants. I find it interesting that all of us grown folks who have bought most or all of his records...can be fascinated with his record sells. WHO CARES!!!
Come on as long as we've got the music, why worry about it and further more, the man has sold more than 100 million records worldwide since 1978, so why would he need to go to marketing school, because he doesn't promote or market music conventionally. He never did!!!

He's gotta live off that money, he's gotta absord the fame and popularity or lack of, so why are we so worried about how he markets his music. Its his talent and his music, so if you wanna say Micheal Jackson sold more, who cares, he's a marketing genius, he's an entertainer, not a musician, there's a big difference there. He thrives off publicity and fame, he lives off popularity and the glitz, he's a show-man!!!

Prince is a musical genius who writes, sings and plays everything, he is cool with just having an outlet to release the m usic to those who catches onto it!

He doesn't go out his way to sell a record, if you wanna here prince, you know what to do, he's already been engraved in music history, so you find out where u can get a new song or record and thats how you get it.

Don't just sit back and think, PRINCE is gonna go out and sell it to you, he's already made the record partna!!!

If you don't like it...he's not gonna loose any sleep over it lol
GOOD NIGHT!

A thread wide open for jackin'!

I wonder if Jacko likes Palin

You know nothing of my work

this thread

oh man i love this..

i think everyone is forgetting that thriller has sold around 7 million alone.. u forget about his other 3 re-releases which have sold a combined 5 million and ooh the Invincible album which is sitting around the 9 million mark.

Has P sold 21 million records by doing absolutely nothing apart from 1 music video (you rock my world) i dont think so

FunkyBrotha said:

but Prince sells new music and even if he doesn´t sell like Mj. Prince is still selling "live shows" . Mj can´t do that ..

and P doesn´t give a f..^k about sales numbers..... that´s why he is an musician.....

Who fucking cares.

Seriously, what is this thread about?

Michael sold more than Prince (this decade). Michael Jackson has always been bigger than Prince when it comes to sales. Prince has done more albums and made new music.

I'd rather hear Michael make some new stuff.
