¿Cuántos millones de discos ha vendido de cada álbum Prince? [smiley=guitarist.gif] Leí que eran más de cien en total, pero no me salen las cuentas porque el más vendido creo que fue Purple Rain y "sólo" se vendieron 15 millones, no? Aunque oí no sé donde Batman llegó a los 40 millones, ¿es verdad?
¿Hay alguna web donde estén listadas las copias vendidas de cada álbum? Gracias!

MUCHOS MENOS DE LOS QUE SE ESPERABAN DE EL GENIo

[Scandalous]

Hay una cosa que no me cuadra... Emancipation fue doble platino, con lo cual las 570.000 copias que pone que se vendieron en USA no debe de ser correcto, ¿no?

A continuación detalle de los platinos y oros de Prince.

Purple Rain - 13 veces platino
1999 - 4 veces platino
Around The World In A Day - 2 veces platino
Batman - 2 veces platino
Diamonds & Pearls - 2 veces platino
Emancipation - 2 veces platino

Prince - 1 platino
Controversy - 1 platino
Parade - 1 platino
Sign O' The Times - 1 platino
O(+> - 1 platino
The Hits 1 - 1 platino
The Hits 2 - 1 platino
The Hits / The B-Sides - 1 platino

Dirty Mind - 1 disco de oro
Lovesexy - 1 disco de oro
Graffity Bridge - 1 disco de oro
Come - 1 disco de oro
The Gold Experience - 1 disco de oro
Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic - 1 disco de oro

No acierto a separarlo, esta parte ya no es cita de Scandalus


Hubo comentarios en esa época en los que se decía que contaban cada uno de los cd del emancipation como una venta y falseaban las cifras. También el obligarlo a comprar en los conciertos es otra forma de enmascaramiento. En fín, realmente a mí me daría igual que solo vendiera los míos, jeje 

[JLO]

En un listado de la Billboard si no me equivoco, a Prince lo dan vendedor de 30 y algo mas de millones de copias... creo... no fue hace mucho esa info...

Esa lista de cifras q puso (((j))) me parece acertada... Musicology seguro q vendio mas q 3121 no?....

Cuando el arte ataque

Prince solo Prince

[Pablo]

  Bueno, la prensa especializada siempre hablo de 100 millones, solo la warner y prince saben la data justa. Creo que 100 millones es algo exagerado.
Esos numeros suelen ser aproximados casi siempre, en la biografia del 2000 de Bob Dylan lei que la EMI publico ese año que The Beatles llevaban vendidos, antes de las 3 antologias 650.000.000 de discos. Es un numero tan grande como incomprobable.
  Pero bue ...asi es el show biss no?

En cualquier caso, no existe unanimidad al respecto entre los analistas, el dueño de fanofmusic hizo un detallado estudio que colocaba las ventas de álbumes de Prince por encima de los 90 millones de unidades.
