A PURPLE REIGN AT RETAIL (MONDAY UPDATE)

UPDATE: Prince hit nearly 250k in album sales on Friday and Saturday alone, with The Very Best of Prince approaching 150k. As many as a dozen Prince albums could make our sales chart this week. He's also had 1.5m+ track sales, with "Purple Rain" approaching 200k, "Little Red Corvette" over 100k, and "Let’s Go Crazy," "1999" and "Kiss" all approaching 100k.

So it's unlikely to cross 300k-350k for the week as a whole.

"The Very Best of Prince" is currently nearing 150,000. How much will he end with and how much will Bey need.

Rest in peace is all I'm gonna say

The 250k is his entire catalog, no?

Pull thru lemonade

I just adjusted downward, you're right.

I need that 6th number 1.

Prince is already a Legend.

Let Bey cement her status.

Whoa

He's probably gonna do 300k+ w/ The Very Best and perhaps 400k+ w/ SPS
I'm sorry but I want Bey to beat him but it's not looking very likely whatever tho. I am at peace w/ the record not extending

hope he crosses 500k with "The very best"

He sold 1.5 million tracks too, so add his SPS on to that.

When it says "approaching 150k" does that mean as of this moment it's approaching it? Or the fri+sat total was close to 150k?

It will be so exciting to see a Beyonce/Prince top two with both at or above 300k. A much bigger week than we'd all anticipated.

No, just his GH,

I don't think they're counting TEA right now are they?

Idk if Bey will outsell him considering her album is $18. We'll see though it'll be interesting

Excting!

I don't see The Very Best doing +400k then.

Bey can do it.

So Purple Rain will re-enter the Top 10 I REALLY wish he could've hit #1 though, shame.

The album sales are good news for Bey though.
