Trivia

This album would discover Prince's commercial 'comeback' since departing Warner Brothers, and his first album with a major label since Arista’s Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic. Included in the cost of the ticket of the Musicology Tour the 400,000 copies handed out to the concert attendees counted towards the sales of the CD. Although also receiving a retail release, selling initially 100,000 copies, it charted at number 3 due to its distribution at the concerts and triggered the change in the rule that since barred freely distributed music’s eligibility to chart. The songs Musicology and Call My Name each won a Grammy in 2005. It was the 25th highest selling album of the year.
