I know Prince isn't releasing the Album for sale in the Uk but could he still get to Numbner 1 when it is given away with the Sunday Mail?
Like when he did with the 2004ever tour in America.
He did the brilliant thing, where he went on tour and every person who bought a ticket was given a CD, and the CD was SoundScanned," noted Marsalis, "so, he was going to be one of the biggest selling records of all time because if 18,000 people go to a concert, maybe a 1,000 of them will buy a CD. He was selling 18- to 20,000 CD's a night and SoundScanning them, so of course the record companies got together and banned him from doing that because he wasn't affiliated with a major label."
It is being sold as part of the paper. So could he in effect sell " million copies on Sunday guaranteeing him Number 1 status?
Plus I know they stopped his clever idea of including the album in the price of the concert ticket in America, but would this be the same in the UK?
What do you think?????
