Prince's Forty Biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits

Pop Life really is such an eery song. that organ, and the verse about doing coke

Voted for I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man, never expected it to win.

Too bad Delirious got no votes. Poor Delirious, such a slinky monster of a pop song.

What kind of "wau" is that, Alfred?

will there be a #21-40 version?

the kind of "wau" as big as my shoe size

will there be a #21-40 version?

sure!

I was the sole voter for "Thieves in the Temple", but I voted without having listened to it in years... And after relistening to the single I realized what I really was voting for was Junior Vasquez' "Thieves in the House Mix". The original is great too (particularly the 12" version with the crazy "who got the party who?" ending), but that remix is sublime. Many of his 90s tunes had pretty good house remixes... The William Orbit/Mark Moore remix of "The Future" is also better than original, it's the best single from the Batman soundtrack IMO.

If we did a "sick of" poll, I would hazard a guess that "The most beautiful girl" would probably win, I would be tempted to vote for "U got the look" possibly due to overexposure at the time.

probably would have voted Pop Life in this, but am sick of more than a few Prince mega hits. Listening to 1999, usually skip the first two songs, and listen to Purple Rain the least of any of the full lengths

"Thieves in the Temple" = first Prince cassingle I bought

Prince is so great he wrote the only song about being a star that doesn't suck. so I voted 'Pop Life'.

"Mountains" video has gone off the web because of youtube, but the associated Making of... is right here:
