with no retail single available..very little video exposure and top 40 radio pretty much ignoring Prince..this is an achievment..i dont know how much higher it will go with no retail single and no top 40 airplay but its cool nonetheless

there's 2 ways this song can still make the top 40

1.if they finally release Call My Name as a retail single...which i doubt

2.if they finally go for adds on Adult Contemp stations...you can add a couple thousand extra spins by going this route....i means its a big hit on Urban/ac so i cant see why it wouldnt be a hit on the mainsteam ac

Its a catchy song compared to his other ballads he has done in the past

thumbs up! Pretty good news. 2 bad Cinnamon Girl wasn't the single. MTV prolly woulda played it and I'd guess it'd be in the top 50, by now.

Luv & Peace,

Oh wow, I totally disagree. It's a good song, but it sounds like the basic outline of a Prince ballad. Nothing in this song sounds all that brilliant to me like so many of his other love songs.

It's when you put Call My Name up against truly beautiful, heart stopping P ballads like Adore and Soul Sanctuary that it sounds kinda weak though.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Well I only listen to radio in the evening at home and on the adult R&B station there is a late night show hosted by Al B Sure and he often opens the show with a Prince song, he even play a lot of the Rainbow Children album but he plays the hell out of this song and musicology when it first came out and the station itself plays Call my name a hell of a lot....it's even on the hip hop station at times which says a lot....at least in my mind anyway

This is great news considering I rarely see the video anymore or hear the song on the radio. Then again, I don't watch video channels all that much or listen to mainstream radio all that much, so maybe I'm just missing it.
Prince just keeps on succeeding even with the corporate music world's continuing stranglehold on creativity.
