What is the definition of a "hit"?

For me, Prince still writes "hits" compared to most of the other music that is around on the radiostations.
Although he isn´t mainstream anymore i think he still is one of the best musicians alive.

There isn't a hit on any of those 3 records. Trust me. I'm not saying that he needs to write top 40 music. Gross. His music is just dumb. It's boring. Uninspiring. The lyrics are hideous. So hilariously lame.

I love the albums but I don't hear a hit single on either. I think "3121" had a better chance of that happening and it didn't (even if the album went to number one).

Wait a second...do you mean "hit music or his music? Makes a huge difference....sometimes misspelling can cause confusion and possible anger.

I thought the same thing about the Zapp & Roger song!

I feel like Ol' Skool Co. has the potential 2 b a hit as well.

I must have gotten a different set of albums than you did. Disaster? What?

You people wouldn't know good music if it slapped you in the face. Always complaining that something isn't good enough. I don't see any of you that are saying these albums are bad putting anything on a disc and trying to sell it. I have been a Prince fam for over 30 years now and feel that these albums are excellent. IDIOTS

Today the definition is being backed by a major label who owns you and your name being Brittany Spears or The Jonas Brothers

Chocolate Box sounds kind of radio friendly to me

NDRU said:

Me too. Love it

NDRU said:

It would be a big hit.

With the state of popular music today

THAT

SAY

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I don't know if it would be a big hit, but it has personality. Perhaps a laughable personality, but personality nonetheless.

Hey Valentina u should tell yo momma she should give me a call!!!!!

NDRU said:

Laughable isn't bad. Not saying that you're saying that, but I find it cool and refreshing. I just wish the song would be exposed to a big audience so that we could see if the song would be a hit with people.

NO MORE HITS 4 U!

purplecam said:

I agree. It has a video apparently, and it seems like something people might like. Prince is silly, it's part of his charm.

NDRU said:

It sure is! I just wish more people around here had more of a sense of humor, especially with this song and CD.

I don't think Prince will have any hits either (although a track or two might be getting some airplay). I looove Dance 4 Me and that Asian sound it's got going on! The Camille voice makes it sound like it's something P did in the 80's.

Valentina isn't too bad and I do think this is the one with the most potential of becoming popular among non-fans. I mean, I can hear Lil' Wayne doing this!

purplecam said:

Oh make no mistake, it is not lost on some of us that Prince is begging a 18 month old baby to fascillitate a hook up with her mom!

VenusBlingBling said:

Thanks for making my point! Horrifying

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

well if only 2 songs can be hits, what does it say about the other tracks on the albums?

All these people in this thread that are showing love to Valentina and your calling it truly awful. You might want to follow that up with IMO atleast

mschirmer said:

Give the music a chance to grow on you. Can't expect to like it right away.

Every song on MPLSOUND, except no more candy for you could be a hit if it had a support from the industry. So it is really a dumb question, there is no such thing as "sound like a hit". There is "marketed as a hit"

thepope2the9s said:

Does'nt say much...A hit song doesn't necessarily mean it's a good one. Most good music these days never make it to the radio.

mschirmer said:

You're right. Clearly what it takes to have a hit these days is inspired music with thoughtful lyrics...

.....Womanizer, Woman-Womanizer
You're a womanizer,
Oh womanizer, Oh you're a womanizer, baby
You, you, you are
You, you, you are
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer

Again, I have to agree. I honestly don't think Prince is capable of writing something like that.

yes! yes!! yes!!!
