I Like A Million Days Alot More than Call my Name and well Illusion Could also have been like top 40 stuff. This song is like an Adore . Nothing wrong with that but not Pop more Slow Jams.

It should have been A Million Days, you're right. If not that, it should have been Dear Mr Man. If not those, The Marrying Kind, Cinnamon Girl or If I (eye) Was the Man In Your Life. BUT CALL MY NAME??!?! I mean, it's OK but not really single material.

No I don't feel ya on this. ICPC is a great song but most people won't bother trying to remember the whole title and end up calling it "Illusia Connie's Pimples Circumvent" or something. MillionDays is suited better for the Star 10?'s and pop 40 stations while Call is geared towards "Urban" pop 40 and the "Quiet storm" formats.

The best case scenario, (obviously), is singles from Musicology hitting on different radio formats. Call My Name is doing great on Urban. Cinnamon Girl could spread on alternative and maybe some rock stations. A Million Days could probably do well on Top 40. This album has the potential to be HUGE, sales wise.
And I love Call My Name. The man is just singing his heart out. music

Nup, don't feel you either.

Call My Name is an excellent choice for a 2nd single. The others are good, too, but as a 2nd single, there couldn't be a better choice in my opinion.

"Cinnamon Girl" should be a single, as well as "Dear Mr. Man", and "Illusion...".

Either way, nothing's gonna get the album to #1.

That's the best negative comment you can find to make? You're really reaching. The album doesn't NEED to go to #1.

well, maybe a full weeks worth of sold out shows biggrin

then again, even that would only give him 100k max sales in a week.

i don't see why people have a need to have thier enjoyment of princes music validated by chart position, but to each their own ...

I don't think a single person here needs to have their enjoyment validated, it's not about that. It's just about Prince getting what he deserves as one of the greatest musical legends of all time.

It's just always nice to see some success come his way is all.

Call my name... Horrible second single!

Horrible choice for an album track.

He doesn't have to hit #1, and he won't. The album is already losing whatever momentum it had and the majority of tickets have already been sold, so it's all downhill from here. He's lucky he had little competition on the charts. His timing was great.

If not for the shows, who knows where the album would be on the charts?

"Cinnamon Girl" or "A Million Days" would have been good choices.

Call My Name is an okay song, but surely NOT a single-hit

it's the 2nd hottest song here

http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...p?chart=U2

5th hottest here

http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...p?chart=U1

Musicology peaked at #5 on this airplay chart, and is right now still in the top 10.

http://www.mmr247.com/mmr...format=u2R

Call My Name is off to a far better start than Musicology was.

How do you define hit? It should be in the top 40 on the billboard R&B chart next week.
