um, Te Amo Corazon, Black Sweat???

greatest romance?
musicology?


what is this thread about again?

Let's hope you are right about the sizeable hit part anyways. Only time will tell. Things seem to be coming together for him in that respect.

If the big radio networks continue to ignore him, he will have no more smash hits until the end of his career and maybe until the end of the world.

come on
the greatest romance
te amo
black sweat

AHHH OMG, LOLZLOOOLZ!

I doubt any of the singles that will come out will chart. He's not even coming out with anything special tied to the singles either, like remixes. Those days are over.

the work?



plus all the ones everybody else mentioned.

jaynoonan said:

Anxiety said:

according to BorisFishpaw's excellent discography, it was released as a CD single in the UK

http://www.housequake.com...musicology

also, all of the singles were released before the albums in the US.

blackbob said:

that's your problem. we had those singles in the US before all of his albums. and IIRC, The Work was an NPGMC single and sold at concerts.

NOT TRUE...MUSICOLOGY WAS DUE TO BE RELEASED IN THE UK AS A SINGLE BUT IT WAS PULLED....THE ONLY SINGLE RELEASED IN THE UK FROM MUSICOLGY WAS CINNAMON GIRL SIX MONTHS AFTER THE ALBUM...IT REACHED NUMBER 44..

blackbob....What's with the CAPS...

blackbob said:

Well I live in the US so I was stating it from my perspective. I didnt see that you were referring to the UK

mplsmike said:

just going through a cap phase....will be ok

well, you can see how this is less than shocking for those of us in the U.S.

you should have made the distinction between U.S. and U.K. release schedules.

even so, at this point the matter is moot. wherever a new recording is released, it's gonna be circulating all over the place within a day either way, by official means or otherwise.

Anxiety said:

yes but the point i am making is prince WOULD have had hit singles in the uk if he had released them BEFORE the albums were released...its such a basic promotional move to let people know you have new music out....he has also been shy with b sides in the last 10 years which hasnt helped ...only hardcore collectors of his music are going to purchase a 1 track cd single with the same song which you already have on the album !!

blackbob said:

True =)!

Anxiety said:

Actually the distinction was made "Prince releases UK single before album"

blackbob said:

I know what you mean, singles have been really lame for many years, and I also don't see the point of releasing a first single after the album has been out a while.

dseann said:

it didn't say that when it was originally posted.

Well that's what I saw
