Of course it will.

And a spaceship full of rubber chickens will invade and take over the world, too.

Zelaira, I love your enthusiasm!

The only thing I can say is FOR ME, it will kinna beat 1984 since I was too young to fully enjoy that year, or go to shows...

I'm not even sure the album would have gold if they wouldn't have counted the freebies much less Diamond.

Well let's not be to hard guy's
sure "P" is getting mad exposure but even though same guy...different era and time.

Purple rain era was sheer madness, things have certainly changed in todays mainstream

He'd need an AWESOME album to back up this hype. It's not here yet. Hopefully next year.

Okay let me spell it out in geeky Star Wars terms.


"Purple Rain" in 1984 was like when the 1st "Star Wars" movie came out-people had not witnessed any thing like it. It was a phenomenon. That captured the imagination of people globally.

Now there have been better "Star Wars" movies than the 1st one, however the explosion of sheer awe that happened in 1977 never really hit the way the 1st movie did. Simply because it was the 1st time.

There have been other albums by Prince better than "Purple Rain" , but you can never recreate the mainstreams sheer awe of Prince in 1984. Not because he hasn't done anything better since 1984. Just because it was the 1st time.....
