For what it is worth I think the order should be as follows

1) Musicology
2) Cinnamon girl - very catchy, accessible for top 40 and relevant given the Iraq situ. A powerful video would enhance its popularity. I can't stop smiling and bobbing when the chorus hits on this one.
3) Call My Name - R&B charts. Spectacular song.
4) Life of the Party: Crossover. Light, but again a great summer head bopping tune. Prince's voice sounds great here. Fun video prospects
5) Million Days. Top 40. A real grower. Did not get understand the hype on this one at first but as with all of P's stuff it takes several listens
6) ICPC - Phenomenol funk, but challenging. Needs a great video to bring the funk alive. Some great dancers a la Musicology would punctuate its brilliance

Prince should come to planet org from time to time and let the people here decide which song(s) will be released as singles. I would think that he values his fans opinions as much as he does our money.


As nice as that sounds, the only that would accomplish would be to get dozens of different recommendations about what the next single should be. Heck in this thread alone there is very little agreement about whether Musicology was a good choice.

Hm, well I would've gone with these singles in order to promote the album.

ICPC-Sounds totally unique and has a hell of a hook in the chorus. Catchy and fun.

A Million Days-Melodic, sombre rock songs usually do well.

Call My Name-Could be a great R&B hit.


BTW If he picks Life 'O' the Party as the next single I'm gonna kill someone.

Personally, WHAT DO U WNAT ME 2 DO is the best song on the album, and would make an excellent single for the summertime.

CO-SIGN!!!! although I wouldn't want it to be the next single. The radio audience of today isn't ready for something like that. Give it 10 years.

I am glad he has selected Musicology as the release. It is more what the masses are likely to listen to, therefore request and therefore willing to put dollars on the counter for.



Quite the opposite actually. I don't know anyone who likes that type of shit.

You make it sound like it's the audience's fault for not liking it. People don't like it cuz it's a weak track.
