Prince debuts at Number 2, unless you follow Hits Magazine where he's number 1

LotusFlow3r, which enters The Billboard 200 at #2, is Prince's 14th top 10 album. Michael Jackson has 13--seven on his own and six with the Jackson 5, later known as the Jacksons.

LotusFlow3r, a Target exclusive, sold 168,000 copies this week. Itcame within 4,000 units of debuting at #1. Keith Urban's Defying Gravity grabbed the top spot with first-week sales of 172,000. This was the closest margin between the #1 and #2 albums since August, when Slipknot's All Hope Is Gone led The Game's LAX by less than 2,000 units. (It was so close that Hits magazine, which has its own charts, called it the other way, putting Prince at #1.)

The grown folks can still sell a record or two. That's the power of being a great live performer. You can sell records and concert tickets long after you cease being the new hot thing.

Owww-ah.
