You're kidding, right?

Two words keep Musicology from being #1 pop hit potential:

A hook

I love the album, but Musicology doesn't have that hook.

Number ones like Toxic, Hey ya, they all have that addictive hook to them.

Musicology's more of a solid, laid back funk groove. It's nothing great.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I love the song, but I don't even think it will crack the top 10. Who knows though! The song's funky - maybe the kids will be ready to eat something new up for a change?

I totally dig the song, but I don't think it'll go no. 1. But, I think it stands a chance to get in the top 10.

While I don't think it will reach #1 on the POP chart, I have no doubts it will reach #1 on the POOP chart.....in fact, it might be there already.

Octavius

This song doesn't stand a chance on the pop charts. It's just not strong or catchy enough. I agree with the earlier post which spoke to the funk, laid back vibe. It's not a dance track; it has absolutely no hook whatsoever. I didn't like the song at first, but it has grown on me. It hasn't grown on me to the point that I feel like it'll reach #1 on the pop charts. Maybe i'll do something on the adult contemporary chart. There are so many damn charts these days.....

Cinnamon Girl would do well on the pop charts, I think.

:stfu:Bottom line is, Prince is better at this sh*t than all of us. He knows what hes doin. "When Doves Cry has no bass line, it can never be a #1, " "Purple Rain sounds like Wille Nelson, it ca'nt ever be a #1, " WTF is this ATWIAD crap, Prince blew his chance to stay on top after Purple Rain," "Sign O The Times is his worse album, it has no hits, he's lost it" "I really like that Family song Nothing Compares 2 U, but its all keyboards, it could never be a #1. " Musicology has no hook, it can't ever be a #1" chainsaw Sound familiar???

Is this a way to get all the crackheads in one place so we can march them into rehab?
