I definitely think his sales will drop off a cliff next week. Also keep in mind that Target may have purchased Prince's CD's to artificially boost his sales. There's strong evidence to suggest that Walmart has done this with exclusive deals in the past (such as AC DC), and no reason to believe that Prince did not work it into the contract, as well - where Target agrees to buy, say, 10,000 CDs of Lotusflow3r to help boost sales. That could have been part of the deal in getting the Prince exclusive.

No videos, no singles, not sure where the commercial playing. Lotusflow3r has reached its target market the hardcore fans. The sales will trickle in after that.

He sold 168K to Keith Urbans 171K. Hits had him at 185' which woulda been enough for #1. Leno repeats this week may not help keep the cd adrift 4 long.
