Number 18 on Billboard's Adult R and B chart, bigger hit than TCBU at this point which I think peaked at 20 on that chart.

It's nice that this song has been released to radio. I honestly prefer the Nona Gaye version. Her voice slides over the beat. Prince's vocals seem to be at war with it somewhat.

Agreed. And that beautiful electric guitar and horn are wonderful. Listening to that version of the song, it feels like you're floating on air.

#16 on the dailty charts, 565 spins (a +28), a peak audience of 3.566, which is 14th best. 5th highest gain in spins, 4th highest gain in audence, 3rd highest bullet.

It makes me wish that Prince would shoot a music video to capitalize on the gains this song is having at Black radio. It's actually exciting seeing this song actually make a dent on radio. Still haven't heard the song on the radio but the groove of the music and vocal performance is Prince's smoothest as a single in a long time.

Nonsense.. I like the original but it's nostalgia now and the new track is perfect. If Prince had promoted it with a fully produced video, it would be a hit. The proof is that it's a minor hit with sub-zero promotion.

Nonsense? You sir, can kindly get a dog up yourself.

http://www.defjampromo.com/track/prince-1000-xs-os-2/ Is Def jam behind the promotion of this song at radio?

The best song on the album without a doubt... This is probably my most played Prince song of his new material, even if it is a re record of an older song...

DefJam knows how to promote..great street teams and close bonds with deejays

up another spot to #14. It's going to take a strong push to crack the top 10.

Def Jam does the promo for the UMG Roc Nation releases, and since Roc Nation/UMG put HitNRun in stores for NPG Records, I suppose they're doing the same for Prince.

song def impacting. it will steadily climb..good stuff

's association with Jay Z has turned out 2 b a WIN WIN combo. To think peeps here condemned it from the start. Smh

it's a good track. A good edit minus his spoken parts could do well on the pop spectrum as well. Holds up really well to repeated listening, which a radio track has to.

Janet Jackson, R. Kelly, Babyface, Kirk Franklin, Prince...Is this list from 1995?

This song is moving quickly into the top 10 & it's barely FOUR threads? But so quick to say would NEVER have another hit on the radio.

This right here needs 2 b CELEBRATED!!!!

Moved up a spot to #13 today, 647 spins (+51), peak audience of 4.4 million. 2nd biggest increase in spins and audience since yesterday.

The biggest news perhaps is the fact that Prince has an adult r&b hit on his hands without lifting his fingers. I've only heard a few of the other songs in the top 15. Tank, Kirk Franklin? These dudes are terrible.

I heard it on SXM Heart and Soul again yesterday.

it's the perfect drive time radio song. The perfect kind of song played on any pop radio station in the US on the way to work or drive home. Prince get your ass on The Tonight Show or Kimmel and perform it. As far as looking for a hit song, If it was a snake it would have bit him.

Love this track it's perfect. Any promotion would have pushed it to the top 10 by now, just goes to show he's far from desperate for a hit.

Seeing "1,000 X's & O's" flanked by Kendrick Lamar and Yo Gotti, is a sign o' the times. In the '80s, these artists would have been solely singers. Interesting.
