....were all big hits.


There are a lot of songs that should have been hits but what i do believe is that is The 1 U Wanna C should have been a single. It had hit written all over it. Even if it was released to country radio, it would have been played just for the sheer novelty factor.

I thin The One is one of Prince's best slow songs. It doesn't get much play but was an awesome song. Can't remember what album it was on though. I am trying to find it on the net but to no avail..any help?

Peace. Love. Prince

The most beautiful...got to #1 in UK and #3 in the US.

Diamonds and Pearls got to #3 in the US. Popular as well around Europe.

Girls and boys got to #11 in the UK but was never released in the US as a single.

Paisley Park got to #15 in UK but was never released in the US as a single.
Pop life reached #7 in Europe, also a hit in Europe.

My list of songs that deserved to be hits is too long! But one stands out. GOLD!

Obvious hits, that is songs that weren't released as singles but should have!
Anna Stezia
Strange relationship
Billy Jack Bitch (at least on R&B charts)
Soul Sanctuary
Housequake
Sometimes it snows in April

Here's my Prince favourites playlist. It has all the songs I think non-Prince fans should hear. In between the standard genius party songs like I Would Die 4 U and Baby I'm A Star, all the other songs sound like hits to me.
