Planet Earth is the title of a studio album by Prince which was released on July 15, 2007 in the U.K. as a free covermount with The Mail on Sunday national newspaper, followed by a more traditional distribution in the rest of the world. The first single is "Guitar", to be distributed in partnership with Verizon Wireless.

Planet Earth features contributions from former Revolution members Wendy and Lisa. On 27 June, "Future Baby Mama" leaked to the internet via an American online radio station.

Pre-release tracks such as the single "Guitar" and "The One U Wanna C"--with its full-band arrangement and late-period Revolution sound--suggest that the album may be more of a straightforward pop/rock record than Prince's recent R&B-leaning releases, although the R&B slow jam "Future Baby Mama" suggests the album's composition may be more eclectic.

Initially, Prince came to an agreement with Columbia Records to distribute the record worldwide. Prince and Columbia had previously teamed up for the release of his Musicology album in 2004. However, Prince's management struck a deal with the British newspaper The Mail on Sunday to release Planet Earth as a free covermount CD with the July 15, 2007 edition of the paper. This move brought much criticism from UK record stores which resulted in Columbia refusing to distribute the album in the UK, though its release in the rest of the world remains unaffected. This has led to UK music retailer HMV stocking copies of the newspaper for customers wishing to purchase the album.

It is believed that Prince got the idea of giving away an album from The Crimea, who gave away their album Secrets of the Witching Hour as a free download earlier in the year.

Giving away albums for free is not new for Prince. In 2004, he gave free copies of Musicology to all concert goers during the tour of the same name. Similarly, the Planet Earth album will be given away with tickets to his future concerts in London.

As a result of the decision by SonyBMG to not distribute the album in the UK, record store chain HMV announced it would stock the 15 July 2007 edition of the Mail on Sunday in lieu of the CD, admitting that "selling the Mail on Sunday next week will be the only way to make the Prince album available to our customers, which, ultimately, has to be our overriding concern."

On July 10, 2007, several days before the official UK release through the Mail on Sunday newspaper, a low quality version of Planet Earth leaked onto the Internet.

The second single released worldwide from the album will be Chelsea Rodgers.
