I quit Tidal this past weekend. In the reasons why section, I put because Prince's Purple Pick of the a Week isn't producing any new songs. That's it, real simple. And now the pattern continues. I'm glad I stopped giving them my money, even if it's not their fault. "Love & honesty, peace & harmony" | |

I have to say that 2015 has been a very disappointing year to be a Prince fan. We got a mediocre album and only 3 new songs from the purple pick fiasco. The highlight was the Revelation leak Welcome 2 The Dawn | |

Loved hitnrun myself. Really not too keen on the Revelation thing, played it once. Purple pick hasn't been great but each time it's been a new Prince track I've really liked it. RIP | |

Could have been better but in the old days we would be happy with an album and 4 non-albums tracks in 1 year.. (I count 4 new tracks: Baltimore, Stare, Free Yourself, IECGUA. And maybe even Pretzel reloaded)
But image what a year it could have been if Tidal kept to their definition of the Pick at launch: Music from the vault. | |

Hey MIRmvn, the HitNrun album is rather good, you should take another listen, and do your homework better... Prince 4Ever. | |

Prince's "goal" for these picks, it can't be hardcore fans.. what is he thinking.. Prince 4Ever. | |

Its been a great year for me as a fan!! I love Hitnrun and the Purple picks of the week is not exactly the best but he has given us some new music. He doesn't even have to give us anything but he does. It was a fun year!! Lets keep it rolling into 2016. Revelation was the one I did not like. Too boring for my tastes. | |

BartVanHemelen said: So now this isn't even a sticky anymore? Great going, org mods. I agree here. If ever a thread deserved a sticky, this is it. It's something that people will want to revisit each week. Now if only Prince would make the pics more interesting, especially unreleased. Look at ... is a great song, but why do I need as pick and on the album when they're both on the same streaming platform? "Love & honesty, peace & harmony" | |

Nevermind. No dumb questions they say, but that's only because I deleted this one. I must need some rest.

I'm surprised this isn't a sticky anymore, without a sticky ppl will create a new thread everytime there's a new purple pick [Edited 12/15/15 8:47am] Welcome 2 The Dawn | |

It is really a disservice to the people who visit this site that an important thread like this is not stickied. Is this not one of the PRIMARY reasons people come to this site? To get news about Prince music. What is more important on a Prince news site than what Prince has released on his weekly forum? As disappointed with the execution of the Purple Pick Of The Week, I still would like to know what it being posted there without having to scrape the bottom of the thread barrel looking for it. | |

We've got a sticky about some obscure dead girl Prince had a crush on in Jr. High (or whatever, didn't bother to read all the way through) that no one's ever heard of that's locked, one about somebody's podcast, and one as a catch-all for off-the-wall posts (some of which are actually about news items being covered in the media), but not this.

Wonder if we get something new next Monday. Maybe Another lonely christmas
Which track of the vault would YOU pick as the next future pick? I would love to hear Moonbean levels, Electric Intercourse or something like that in HQ someday.
And.. still no sticky.. | |

Yes it's not tuesday yet. But last weeks it was available about 7 hours earlier (appr. 1:00 am apparently in your timezone). Not expecting anything shocking by the way.. | |
