Big year on charts?

After the Superbowl performance, the hype around P now and what seems to be an impending tour, do you think P has a chance of ruling the charts this year. I thought he might, but I don't think Guitar sounds like a killer lead-off singe. What factors would have to come into play for him to have a big year on the charts?

I think Prince had a chance of ruling the charts last year too. But his lead single was Te Amo Cliterous which just didn't work. Coupled with a bory ass video to Black Sweat, and very little promotion of Fury (the obvious first single), it just didn't take off.


Prince needs to hire Britney Spears managers or something. I mean, she sucks total ass, and still sells a million copies of crap.

No matter how potentially commercial an album is, a killer lead-off single has to get the tidal wave going, or the whole project can just stall, and may be dead in the water; sales wise that is. As we all know, this happenend not only last years but on several, if not the majority of P's albums.

Love was the single he should have put out.

I don't think Prince can have a hit single in the current climate. He's seen as an album artist now, or as a fantastic live performer, but not a single seller. Besides which, he refuses to play the promotion game and bribe the radio stations to add his singles to the playlists - without that, you don't really get anywhere in the States.

Guitar does sound like a killer lead off-single. Killer of any momentum he may have gotten from the superbowl that is wink

If Black Sweat couldn't hit...he doesn't really have a chance anymore.
