For no reason other than to rank Prince's singles I decided to make a list using average peak chart positions from the US and UK charts.
Funny how the last entry was in '94.

My question is does anyone know why Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic was banned from the Uk album charts

Banned? I didn't even know it sold that well that it was in the charts Nah, seriously I do remember hearing something about that but I can't remember why.

Because it's shit?

So why did u buy it Nouveau? Has to be said it's his worst album.

I'm pretty sure it was the single for TGRES that wasn't allowed because it had too many mixes.
