in this months viz mag there is a prince mention in the spoof article pops 25 richest list. prince is about 20 with $22 mill. it shows a little pic of him during the slave period and says something like

the purple king of pop is in the guiness book of records eight times under the category of most boring biggest selling single ever. despite building a recording studio shaped like himself it didnt take a dent out of his millions


not sure where they got the boring singles shit, all hes known for in the UK is the classic PR era and raspberry beret and kiss. i suppose the recording studio is a reference to vanity. anyway, just thought id share it with ya!

I didn't realise that the new Viz was out. I'll have to buy it and see for myself.

?? If this is UK, maybe they're referring to "TMBGITW," which I heard was his only #1 in the UK, and some find boring. But then againg, it says 8 times...

Are you serious!!! Sign O' The Times, Lovesexy, Diamonds & Pearls and Love Symbol all did good business in the U.K.

Few people are aware that he's been making music since around '95 tho'.

Prince had over 40 top40 singles in the UK to my knowledge.

As for that most boring single jibe, they might be exagerrating and referring to 1999, which charted 3 or 4 times over here.

And Viz's website, for those who may take this thread a little too seriously;
