how in the world did radio not jump on the "Gold" single in 1995? i know Prince was doing the slave thing and the name change and all but this song was coming on the heels of a #12 hit I Hate U and its just a GREAT radio friendly song..its amazing to me that this song only got to #88

The only song I got from the "Gold Experience" album is "I Hate U"(extended remix). I wuz sure that song woulda got sum major radio play..it coulda been in R&B catergory(IMO). What wuz the 1st single off the album?

the 1st single was The Most Beautiful Girl In The World but the single hit like a year before the cd came out because with all the crap going on with Prince and Warner then the 2nd single was I Hate U followed by Gold and Dolphin

it was a big hit in the uk, top ten and the last time prince was in the top ten singles chart (not counting the re issue of 1999)

Oh aight. Dang he put TMBGITW a year b4 the album! whoa. Well I dunno if the version of IHU I got would be radio friendly but it's pretty good.

btw radio didnt pick up on I Hate U either because it was #6 in single sales and something like 46 in airplay so there's another case radio screwed Prince from another top 10 single

Mazerati said:

Lawdz! even back then radio wuz screwed. But P sure dun let that stop'im. Even thought now they doin' sorda the samething it seems wit "Musicology".

because it's sort of boring. even the guitar solo is nothing special.
