3121 reinforced Prince's big comeback after the critical success of Musicology (2004). It is the only Prince album ever to debut at number one (during his lifetime) on the Billboard 200, with over 180,000 copies sold in its first week. It knocked the soundtrack for High School Musical off the top spot, and became Prince's first number one album since Batman in 1989. Eventually it was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
