Musicology (Can't remember if it was retail anywhere, or just promo)
Call My Name (Non-Retail)
Cinnamon Girl (Retail)

And looks like we're getting A Million Days too since the video has already been shot. (Non-retail I imagine).

WTF hasn't he released I,C,P&C?

That'd probably be his biggest hit since 7.

If so, that would be 4 singles - the most since prince if memory serves (although Emancipation had 4 videos including 1 cancelled/promo only single and a double a-side).

So whatever anyone thinks about Musicology the album (I'm not a big fan of it myself) - the project sure has been a great commercial success and achievement for Prince. smile

How much more successful could the album have been if these had been the singles:

Single 1: Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance (by far the "hit" of the album)
Single 2: What Do U Want Me 2 Do (far more likely to get airplay than Cinnamon Girl or A Million Days)
Single 3: Call My Name (for the R&B stations)
Single 4: Dear Mr Man

ICP&C is one of the worst songs on the album.

Nay, it's one of the worst songs he's released in the past 10 years.

It sounds like a NPS out-take, or something from the NPGMC Year One downloads.

I have no idea why people go ga-ga over it, it's an awful song that tries to ape current trends and fails miserable - not only because it's a poor song, but also because current trends in pop music are dire to say the least.

ICP&C is an awful, awful song.

All IMO. razz

I think he picked the right singles for the most part.

I think when picking singles-- we have to consider the current market place.
Seeing how radio works, I don't see them playing ICP&C on "urban" or "rock" radio. It doen't fit the sound.

Dr. Mr Man, might have been too political and deep for people to digest.

And "What Do you what me to do"- is a maybe.

Radio is so off until it's not funny.

The last 30 seconds of ICP&C are great.
