#30When Doves Cry
Prince June 1984

Why the World Needed It:Because the Purple One was more than just a dance rocker,and the world needed to know.
Why It Matters:Not many Number One records are as peculiar as this bassless dance song,but the first salvo from Purple Rain was Prince's announcement that the normal rules simply did'nt apply to him.He has gone on to challenge the cliches of popular music again and again.
Without this song,No:Outkast,Lenny Kravitz,Justin Timberlake,Carmen electra,"formerly known as"jokes
