Let’s get Prince a Top 40 hit in the UK…

Chart rules have been altered here so that download only tracks can make the Top 40. About 3,000 copies sold would break into the Top 40.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/h...264739.stm

All we need to do (!) is to get enough people here to download one particular Prince track from approved sites and score him a hit!!!

Shame that Song of the Heart cannot be bought from any UK sites but we could choose a golden-oldie…

Any suggestions…

If memory serves, BBGW got to No.11?

Personally I think the biggest "shoulda been a hit" is Mountains but I'm not sure that's available to download here!

Mountains reached 23 in the USA, but did not crack the top 40 here!

I don't think this download idea is going to work because no one is ever going to agree on the one track to download.

We should do a poll or something, try and narrow it down.

...Gotta agree with you but it's kind of fun to think about.

I know he's not chart oriented these days but for instance IF these had been the rules last year and IF the Brits performance last year had been available to download I wouldn't mind betting that that would have cracked the chart.
