When Doves Cry was by far the most successful.. in that it sold fast, it exploded all over radio, hit the top of the charts and hyped the Movie even more before it was released. The song also debuted and continued to play throughout that wonderful summer of 1984. The song also serves as a pivotal pressure building role in the movie Purple Rain. All in all together with the video of him crawling to the bathtub... well nuf said!

i think i read somewhere that WDC was the biggest selling single of 84 is that true.
I would say Batdance was also quite succesful with the hype surrounding Batman.

To say what is the best song by Prince is impossible. Because he has composed lots and lots and in a very different ways.

The most succsesful:
Purple Rain
Nothing Compares 2 U
When Doves Cry
Kiss
Batdance
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World
Cream

i think the batdance has to be one of he's shitest songs ever, nothing compares 2 u is amazing tho, better than the sinead o'conner one!!!

Yeah, I love Prince's version - so much better.

it has to be power fantastic,that song is awsome considering much of it is improvised

beautiful girl/whendoves/sexy mf/gett off gett off sold really high as a 7trk and 3trk cd single...

considering sexy mf was banned by most stations in the uk to reach n0``2 is staggering and partly down to phenominal success of diamonds and pearls album/tour which was before sexy mf

i do remember him playing on d and pearl tour ..yet 0->album was released abot 4 wks later i think

Ok. But the Batman Soundtrack sold 7 million albums. I think that is a success.
By the way, I love this song.

hey we are all forgetting purple rain, i think this song made prince, i have asked people wot songs prince has done, and the only one they can think of is purple rain

Maradona said:

nope Sexy MF was number 5 in the UK
Gett Off was number 4 in the UK..

muirdo said:

my bible that is the Q rock n roll encylpaedia says stollin/sexy mf got to number 4! ill just check for gett off...hey this got to number 4 too! so there you go

most successfull saleswise i think is when doves cry, its my personal fave too. but purple rain is obviously the one people associate most with him. i have an mp3 of the foo fighters playing it and even that crowd goes mental for it and singalong. its odd it didnt get to number one though only number 2!

plus i didnt think the batman album sold 7 million?!?!?! it only did double platinum in the USA so i would have thought around 4 million worldwide tops!
