MarcelJ said: Black Sweat is moving up a bit on the Hit charts, but stalled at Urban. Call those local stations and request the song and maybe it can crack the top 100 next week, combine that with some strong sales and iTunes numbers and it could go top 40 yet.
Mainstream Hit Radio TW #121 LW #132 Mainstream Urban TW #88 LW #86 CHR/POP TW #149 LW #164 Go contact some of the links in this thread and ask for Black Sweat!! http://www.prince.org/msg/7/178245 | |

WHen people ask "Where did so and so peak in the charts?" they mean the propper charts. i.e "Top 40 singles chart" ----- Those must be people you know. Because plenty of people know about the RnB charts. I can't believe the attitude that some of you people have toward RnB music. I guess you have not noticed that RnB/Rap is the pop music of today.

... TWICE! ha haHello, I downloaded "Black Sweat" from ITunes. I noticed that it was the "Clean" Version. Does that mean there is an "Explicit" version coming? I hope there is a 6-7 minute version out there. Maybe there will be a Maxi-CD with extended version, dance mixes coming out. Chris | |

It's really not that bad of a thing. It's not like I'm saying that Prince will never write a good song ever again. I've liked Black Sweat from the start, but people here are always predicting that the new Prince single will be his long-sought after massive US hit since The Most Beautiful Girl. They predicted it with Call My Name, Musicology, and Cinnamon Girl, and it didn't happen. I'm positive that it won't happen with any song from 3121, too. Prince is too old for the young people, and too young for the old. It's just not what he's good at anymore. [Edited 2/22/06 17:18pm] ----- "Prince is too old for the young people, and too young for the old" What does this mean? Did you go to any of the concerts in 04?. Lot's of different age groups at those shows. Radio does not have the foggiest clue about what people want to listen. Why do you think IPODS are popular. | |

Maybe the album version is the explicit version. "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

Someone at Viacom is smoking crack. That crack rock must be huge cause a whole bunch of folks have to be smoking that shit at BET. BET needs to be destroyed and started all over again. I still can't get over how Prince isn't played regularly on BET. Ain't that some shit? [Edited 2/25/06 19:05pm] I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince.

Good to see the Black Sweat EP as the number one album on iTunes for the last few days; I wonder how long it can sustain it. When are they drawing the winners for the Purple Ticket anyway?? "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

I've seen the video at least 14 times since Wed. 2/22/06. It was #18 on VH1 top 20 countdown today. I love the song.It hit me hard the first time I heard it. To me it says the old Prince is back.In my eyes "PRINCE IS KING"! | |

From the New Yorker:
"Though Prince may never again approach the astonishing levels of his eighties work, he is still capable of felicitous surprises. “Black Sweat,” the second single from his forthcoming album, “3121,” is one of them. Reaching back to “Kiss,” at least, Prince takes a foundation of James Brown funk, strips it down, and deforms it brilliantly. The music is reduced to a sharp drum pattern with a very loud high hat, a keening keyboard line, and falsetto vocals. The words depict Prince in a bind: “I don’t want to take my clothes off—but I do.” Prince, bravely, confronts this ambivalence and accepts that he has “a job to do.” The title is a subtle jab at anyone who wants to whiten Prince’s musical lineage, and the song is sharp enough to stand alongside those produced by the current keepers of the funk." http://www.newyorker.com/...recordings | |

Thanks for the info!! I just downloaded the video. It's currently at #47 on their Top 100 Music Videos. Here's hoping it makes it to the top 20!! "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."
