Followed closely by "Lady Cab Driver". Of course, neither ones were A - Side singles. KDAY played them cuz they were funky as hell and it was an audience for that. DavidEye made a good point that WB pushed more for the "pop" oriented material as singles. Why in the world would they choose "Delirious" as a single? Ya'll know there was much better material on there than that. Same as "Let's Pretend We're Married". Cool song and all, but not for a single. Unless they were striving for that MOR audience. Which is what they got. P and WB KNEW they already had the black market.
Thank GOD for Black radio..... Only they would play the non-singles and the B-Sides....

 KSOL played that song to death,and so did KDIAI guess I was too young at the time. I remember KSOL and vaguely KDIA (which wasn't an R$B station, was it?) but I don't remember DMSR being played. |

It certainly should have been released as a single... It is one of those anthem type songs that would have really caught on IMO. It has one of the catchiest chorus' ever...
What's more memorable... "We will, we will rock you!" or "Ooooh! Alright! Dance Music Sex Romance!" ?? | |

I agree with everything that is being said other than the fact that "Let's Pretend We're Married" is a MOR single. Are you kidding? That song is quite out there, even by 1999 standards! Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

Yes,KDIA was an R&B radio station,based in Oakland.It was an AM station that finally shut down in the mid-90s.I loved this station because they routinely played alot of "non-hits" and album tracks. Not sure how old you are,but in late 1982 and throughout most of 1983,both KSOL and KDIA played "DMSR" regularly,as if it was a single. | |

Do you remember when they used to play entire albums every night at Midnight? I recall KSOL playing the entire '1999' album at Midnight on the night before Thanksgiving '82,and again on Christmas Eve 1982. | |

I remember a station in Cleveland called Power 108. They played the extended version of "Girl" all the time!!! Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. | |

DMSR is still the JAM. I love how the beat starts off real spare then kicks in with some percusssion and more synth, funky guitar, and what a bass line...
I'm glad Prince recognized his fans wanted it live on the last tour. He hadn't played a full version in awhile. ______________________________________________
