Billboard update

The following information is from Billboard magazine, November 6, 1999



Firstly, a note that prince appears on the cover of this week's Billboard in a fairly extensive article. Most of the article is the same as Billboard Online (http://www.billboard.com/daily/feature/artist.asp), although it is longer. The article also contains a track-by-track review of Rave (which I will transcribe later and send it to prince.org).



Here is the chart information:

Blurb in 'The Rhythm Session':



HE'S BACK: After releasing a couple of albums via the Internet and limited distribution on his NPG label, The Artist Formerly Known As Prince hits a new chart stride with the help of his new label home, Arista. "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold" (NPG/Arista) rises 41-30 on Hot R&B Singles & Tracks, winning the Greatest Gainer/Airplay for an audience increase of more than 5 million listeners. The commercial single, released to retail Oct. 12, holds at No. 16 on Hot R&B Singles Sales. The new single marks The Artist's highest chart position since "I Hate U" (NPG/Warner Bros.) hit No. 3 in the fall of 1995.
