Call my name airplay

Check it out - gaining tons of momentum:

http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...p?chart=U1

being played at these stations
http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...ode=leader

and all of these
http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...de=PRINCMN

and more here:
http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...de=PRINCMN

and here:
http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...de=PRINCMN


Flint still has the most support, having Call my Name their #2 song and Musicology their #3 song.

Be sure to call the stations and request it (and musicology too).

Did Sony ever even go for adds for Call My Name or is it becoming a hit all on it's own? You can also try the stations here:

http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...format=U2R

and here:
http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...format=U1R

which all still have Mucisology getting significant airplay. Get them all playing both songs as much as Flint is.

Yeah , according to Radio and Records, Call My Name went for adds on Urban and Urban AC last week.

Great to see it taking off.

Its an ok song on the album but it puts me to sleep. Don't know how in hell this love song is going to stay afloat on hit radio. All the luck in the world to you Prince.

cool - must have worked, then - they got a ton of adds, especially on Urban. It's now on 12 of the 42 Urban AC stations and 39 of the I think 70 Urban stations and is on both Jump charts.

I'd love for Prince to get just one more hit single to help album sales. It's not essential, but it'd be so nice for the guy.

Yeah, it'd be nice for him to notch one more, but I don't think it'll happen with this album.

Rave definitely had a couple pretty sure hits though.

Does the word hit implies only Top 10 hits? Because Prince reached #12 with I Hate You and #31 with Betcha By Golly Wow in 1995 and #40 with 1999 in 1999. Wouldn't those 3 count as hits (albeit the two of them small hits)?

Most Beautiful Girl in the World "briefly spiked" and then fell off the charts...
If he dents the top ten by accident it surely ain't with a hit the world will remember
Cream & 7 Were his last real hits.

TMBGITW went to #1 on the Top 40 Airplay charts. It spent 26 weeks on the Hot 100 , peaking at # 3.


In fact 10 years ago this week...check it out

yea, it would have gone top 10 too, but the street date was broken and some first week sales were lost as a result. This was the song that broke his 16 consecutive years with top 10 hits string and he hasn't been back to the top 10 since.

How many spins do you need for a top 10 hit?

A couple of Thousand?

so what happened to musicology on pop radio? by the sounds of it it gained very slightly, then fell off completely?

and million days, whats happening with that? that htread about the guy who reckoned he saw an ad on the radio site. when did the ad say it was meant to be "impacting" on radio? looks like it was fake after all?

so by the looks of things, how does it look like call my name is going to do? it seems to be increasing really fast. a top 100 maybe? top 40?

it now has 294 urban spins (+219) - that's good enough for #59 urban. The spin count needs to double to get top 40, and double again to get top 20. The #10 song has 2076 spins right now, the #1 song has 3732 spins. So it still has a ways to go, but is gaining momentum quickly. From 231 to 294 spins in 24 hours.

Yeah.. it seems I couldn't find anything on the charts for the other singles post 1992 - I can't believe The One, Dinner with Delores, Holy River & Betcha By Golly Wow didn't hit the 100 USPop Charts because they sure were briefly playing them in Europe.

none of those songs had commercial singles in the US, and at the time of their release, it was a prerequisite for charting in the Hot 100
