Prince All Time UK Top 30 Hits including all his sales- BBC

Here the list .... biggrin

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radi...ince.shtml

Winner of six Grammy awards, six Brit Awards, an Oscar and a Golden Globe, in 2008 Prince Rogers Nelson turned 50, though of course in musical numbers he’s somewhere between 1999 and 31-21. In letters he's the entire Alphabet Street, and in colours he's perhaps Red or Raspberry, but definitely Purple.

Trevor Nelson counted down the all time top 30 best selling UK singles from Prince as compiled by the Official Charts Company.

We also heard from many top names in the music world as to why Prince deserves the huge critical acclaim he has achieved to date.

1 1999

2 Little Red Corvette

3 When Doves Cry

4 The Most Beautiful Girl In The World

5 Batdance

6 Purple Rain

7 Kiss

8 Sexy MF / Strollin'

9 Gett Off

10 Let's Go Crazy

11 Sign O' The Times
12 U Got The Look [With Sheena Easton]
13 Gold
14 Girls And Boys
15 My Name Is Prince
16 Raspberry Beret
17 Thieves In The Temple
18 Cream
19 Betcha By Golly Wow razz did not expect to see this one in the pack?
20 Alphabet Street

21 Partyman
22 Controversy
23 Paisley Park
24 If I Was Your Girlfriend
25 Diamonds And Pearls
26 Money Don't Matter 2 Night
27 I Wish U Heaven
28 Peach
29 The Arms Of Orion [with Sheena Easton]
30 I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

But then again, this is about how much he sold, not the merits of the singles...
