Prince's CD distribution strategy is working
Prince's idea to include his new CD "Musicology" as part of his concert ticket price may be the beginning of a music industry revolution.
Since the album's release April 20, "Musicology" CDs handed out at shows have been included in SoundScan numbers. In the album's first week of release, of the 191,275 copies sold, only 12,605 were from ticket sales. In total, the tour has about 40 shows in arenas with capacities of 17,000-20,000. Prince's manager-attorney Londell McMillan says Prince will play and give out CDs to as many as 1.5 million fans during the tour.
