This is all I could find for now. "1999" was released several times (not counting "The New Master" versions).

1st release was on October 30, 1982. It was on the US Pop charts for a total of 12 weeks, peaking at #44 in December 1982. It peaks on the R&B charts at #4.

2nd release was on June 4, 1983, after the huge pop success of "Little Red Corvette" (which reached #6 in May 1983). This time "1999" was on the US Pop charts for a total of 15 weeks, peaking at #12 in July 1983 for two weeks in a row. It peaks on the UK charts at #25.

"1999/Little Red Corvette" is released in the UK and peaks at #2 in January 1985.

The last release was on January 16, 1999. It only lasted for one week on the US Pop charts where it peaked at #40.

I seem to remember it going to #2 (again) in the UK, but I couldn't find any info to confirm this.

And it hit #1 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, knocking another Prince song, Vanity 6's "Nasty Girl," outta the top spot!

yep it did get to number 2...while The New Master was just a load of number 2.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
