PRINCE: No. 1's ... the CD

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?

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

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