Prince and Keith Urban fighting for No.1 Spot on Billboard next week !

Navjosh by Navjosh

WOW. Would you believe this? Or, were you expecting this? I gotta be honest, I wasn’t.

According to the first day sales reports, Prince’s new album Lotusflow3r is on course to sell 140,000 copies in the first week at sales. On the other hand, Keith Urban’s new album Defying Gravity is looking good for a total of about 170,000.

Prince’s album sales have proved and reiterated the fact that ultimately, good music has no substitute. The legend has been doing this for more than 3 decades now and whether he tops the charts next week or
