You all have hatred in your 🖤🖤🖤.

Hardrock lover is awesome. WIthout looking at the list, I'd say his worst singles were from Emancipation.

My eyes widened at the atrocious opening gif.
I'm not sure I can scroll down any further.

Pure clickbait shit.
One line per song a review does not maketh.

Well they got #1 right

"53. “Dance 4 Me” (2009)
Recycling the iconic drum-machine beat from “When Doves Cry,” Prince addresses a “funky congregation” in this highlight from the throwback-minded “MPLSound,” which he sold exclusively at Target."

-

In what way does this song recycle the beat from WDC?

Also, how can they mention Cinnamon Girl with out it's messge, that alone deserves a higher ranking.

This list is trash. True Prince-ologist know better than to take this list with a grain of salt.

Don't agrre with 100 percent of this, but it was an entertaining read and it is all opinions so hey just glad people are still talking Prince

Chocolate Box has drums that sound veyr similar to WDC.

The writer must be confusing the two songs.

In any case Hardrock Lover is a great song and it is BS to rank it as his worst single.

That is the worst artwork EVER !

-

Uhm,

"Cream" on N°22,

and songs like ''Pink Cashmere'',

The Truth'',

''This COuld B Us'', and

''Insatiable''

somewher at the end (72-76) ?!

They certainly did.

It's funny that some are complaining that the list is 100% wrong or "If I Was Your Girlfriend" was not his best single, but in the poll here from a few years ago, orgers voted for exactly the same #1 song: https://prince.org/msg/7/440853

Yes, they did get #1 correct, but the rest of the list is a joke.

Lists like this are just click bait. I mean....define "best". The wisest? The best song on the record? The one with the most commercial appeal? The one that represents the album the best? The one that will bounce in the clubs? The most mainstream?

TBH, I didn't realize he'd released several of the songs on that list as singles so at least that much was interesting but the whole thing reads like one person deciding what songs they like and then arranging them in a way as to generate the most discussion by being controversial and edgy through listing them in some sort of a subjective order.

Pretty dumb. We could do our own list here and everyone would have a different one.

And any list like this that doesn't have "When Doves Cry" number one doesn't understand the nature of singles and what they are (were) for. That track blew up the fucking radio, vaulted Prince to the next level into superstardom and singular status, sold the movie and stopped people in thier fucking tracks. It was the kind of song that made you remember where you were the first time you heard it back when all you had was the radio and night clubs and had the added benefit of a positively killer b-side.

You immediately wanted to hear it again. It carved its way into your soul like a god damned lightning strike.
