I know Raspberry Beret was first, but what singles were released right after that?

in the U.S. it was Raspberry Beret, Pop Life and America.

I believe Paisley Park was issued as a 12" single overseas, not sure where in the sequence it fits.

U.S.

Raspberry Beret (b-side: She's Always In My Hair)
Pop Life (b-side: Hello)
America (b-side: Girl)


U.K. (and most European Countries too)

Paisley Park (b-side: She's Always In My Hair)
Raspberry Beret (b-side: Hello)
Pop Life (b-side: Girl)

.

Interesting thing about this is that ATWIAD and 3121 share something that no other Prince albums share: different commercially-available first singles in the US and Europe.

ATWIAD led off with Raspberry Beret in the US and Paisley Park in Europe.
3121 led off with Te Amo Corazon in the US and Black Sweat/BL&B in Europe.

I remember Paisley Park did get airplay in the US. At least, my local radio station played it when ATWIAD first came out. I think he made a mistake releasing "America" third in the US - should've gone with Paisley Park.

I think I like the UK order better, although it was a mistake not releasing America.
