Michael Jackson

Am I the only person that realizes that Prince's last album "Planet Earth" has not even passed the 300,000 sales mark in the States?

Which is one of the main reasons I have as little as I possibly can to do with the music industry.
Ever heard the expression 'quality not quantity' ?

You are probably right. But it is ironic how when MJ's "Millenium" sold 2,100,000 copies in the U.S., people were sounding alarms that his career was over yet Prince sells 300,000 copies and he is on top of the world? Give me a break.

You don't sell out 21 dates in London being over the hill.

And didn't I say both men are no longer as good as they are in the 80s. At least Prince has new material to release. Unlike Jackson who releases a new compilation album everytime he feels like going on a shopping trip.

If you want to judge quality on record sales go ahead. You must be a marketing mans dream.

I still listen to MJ's music. He's really been quiet for a very long time and I missed him performing.

lol Your talkin to the biggest Michael Jackson fan on here, I'm in love with MJ his the best! Peeps need to leave him alone and get a grip. On his music the man is a genius he broke alot of barriers for black artists to be played on MTV and he made the modern video era and he did so much for the music industry. I can run my mouth all day about MJ but I love him and his music. His suppose to be back out next year 08" with an album.

Neither man is anywhere near as popular as they were in the 80s , however ...

Prince - Always recording , writing , producing , always wanting to do his own thing , even against his record companies wishes. Last couple of albums have been a huge improvement over anything he's done over the last 10/15 years. Recently sold out 21 shows in London alone.

Jackson - Sh*ts out another greatest hits compilation because he's skint.

Prince- for prince your just about right

MJ- the reason for that is because he breaking away from sony and since his contract had not aspire they just released compilation discs because MJ was threw with sony. MJ writes, produces, records and does the whole 9 yards don't make the compilation discs an excuse because its not.
