If you were to make a 12 track best of album using tracks taken from albums released 2000 onwards what would it look like?

There are two versions of this. The first is what the OP wanted. The second is a playlist I created (along with a couple of edits to have a shorter segue time or better edit of a song in general). The order could be altered a bit if necessary

1. 3121
2. Guitar
3. Cinnamon Girl
4. Baltimore
5. The One U Wanna C
6. Wall of Berlin
7. Dreamer
8. Dear Mr. Man
9. Fury
10. Groovy Potential
11. U’re Gonna C Me (Lotus version)
12. Big City

So this is my condensed, and slightly enhanced, playlist encompassing the best of Prince’s new PLECTRUMELECTRUM and ART OFFICIAL AGE albums. Run time is 1 hour exactly. “WAY BACK HOME (The Affirmation Mix) is mine own, blending "WAY BACK HOME” and “affirmation iii”. “Clouds” is edited because I took out the woman talking in it.

1. WOW
2. Rock and Roll Love Affair
3. MARZ
4. Screwdriver (Intro’d Edit)
5. WAY BACK HOME (The Affirmation Blend)
6. FIXURLIFEUP
7. CLOUDS (Speechless Mix)
8. FUNKNROLL (PLECTRUM version)
9. BREAKDOWN
10. ANOTHERLOVE
11. THIS COULD BE US
12. Same Page Different Book
13. TIME
14. F.U.N.K. (edit)
15. PLECTRUMELECTRUM

1. 3121

2. Ol Skool Company

4. Future Soul Song

Hit N Run V.2 was the best thing he did since 2001. Shame it happened to be the last album.

12 tracks are way too short, how about 18 or 20 cuts. If I could add 8 more cuts I would add.

16. Pfunk

79. Special hidden track as this is a f**ked up Prince style release - Beautiful Strange (It was cut in Jan 2000 so its a 2000s song)
