Ok..everybody's doing it. First Elvis, then The Beatles, now Michael (no snickering).

So, what if Prince were to release a #1's album? Anyone have access to Billboard charts? I am asuming one would have to accept the R&B and Dance charts (Adult Contemporary, too?) to make a full length. What would be on it if we included all of those charts?

Well, it would have to be an EP.

An EP of pre-1990 music, that is.

I don't think Prince has had enough #1's to have a CD compilation released...
even if you do count all the charts.

theres always the number 2's !!!

3. Kiss
4. Batdance

Add the additional Hot R&B #1's

6. I Wanna Be Your Lover
7. Sign 'O' The Times
8. Thieves In The Temple
9. Diamond And Pearls

10. Controversy
11. 1999
12. A Love Bizarre (?)
13. Gett Off

Add an additional UK #1

14. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World

What about we add a Hot 100 Airplay #1 that was also #1 in Radio & Records Magazine CHR chart

15. Raspberry Beret

What about we add a #1 in Radio & Records Magazine CHR chart

16. Purple Rain

What about we add a #1 in Radio & Records Urban chart

17. Alphabet St.

You mean how he has done in one county. Prince has sold more records outside of America than in it.

So it's just the best of... collection then! ???

So there's no point.

Jerk Out - The Time
