@FATIMA, according to the below info., your statements are incorrect & misleading. No one said Prince was at or near his peak but as I thought, he is still appreciated by a lot of die-hard longtime fans and others:

"The immediate success of 3121 gave Prince his first #1 debut on the Billboard 200 with the album. 3121 reinforced Prince's big comeback after the release of 2004's Musicology. It knocked the soundtrack for High School Musical off the top spot, and became Prince's first #1 album since 1989's Batman. Eventually it was certified Gold (for over 500,000 copies sold) by the RIAA. Planet Earth received generally positive reviews from most music critics. As of October 2007, the album has sold about 298,000 copies in America, with almost no promotion, with the exception of the Verizon Wireless ad for "Guitar". Although not released as a single, "Future Baby Mama" gathered radio airplay on American R&B radio and charted within the top 40 of Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The song won Prince a Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance at the 2008 Grammy Awards. Lotusflow3r debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 168,000 copies in its first week and becoming Prince's fourth consecutive Top 3 album in the U.S. The album narrowly missed the number 1 spot, selling 3000 copies less than Keith Urban's Defying Gravity. The album however topped some other charts leading Prince to suspect the charts were tampered with which he specifically stated on the Tavis Smiley interview. The album has sold 415,829 units at year's end according to Soundscan. Upon their release, Lotusflow3r and MPLSound received generally mixed to positive reviews from most music critics."

Prince doesn't do big time promotion like many other artists and seems to mainly release music for himself and his longtime fans and others with an open mind and an appreciation for originality and talent.
