They were wrong about that.

He successfully mixed it the rest of his career.

No, it was a statement of fact. They are definitely wrong.

An opinion would be, "I don't think anyone's..." not "It hasn't been.." with no caveat detailing its someone's personal take on it.

Music criticism and music journalism is not a branch of mathematics, it's all about opinion. "Ebony's 65 Greatest Hits" not Ebony's 65 Greatest Facts, you know that Ebony is a music magazine, right?

This count is BS!! Purple Rain should EASILY be in the top 5 at the least, for me it would be in the top 3 of all times. These people that do these lists are brainless!!

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol

I know you are talking about the grammatical English here but I do belive that Prince is probably one of the few artists that you can speak in terms of "Facts"
