Prince's most popular singles + Rave Question

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

Here's My Top 20 Prince Singles List:

1 Batdance US No.1 Uk No.2 Average 1.5
2 The Most Beautiful Girl in the World US No.3 Uk No.1 Average 2
3 When Doves Cry US No.1 Uk No.4 Average 2.5
4 Kiss US No.1 Uk No.6 Average 3.5
5 Let's Go Crazy US No.1 Uk No.7 Average 4
6 Little Red Corvette US No.6 Uk No.2 Average 4
7 Purple Rain US No.2 Uk No.8 Average 5
8 U Got the Look US No.2 Uk No.11 Average 6.5
9 Sign O' the Times US No.3 Uk No.10 Average 6.5
10 Thieves in the Temple US No.6 Uk No.7 Average 6.5
11 1999 US No.12 Uk No.2 Average 7
12 Cream US No.1 Uk No.15 Average 8
13 Alphabet St. US No.8 Uk No.9 Average 8.5
14 Gett Off US No.21 Uk No.4 Average 12.5
15 Raspberry Beret US No.2 Uk No.25 Average 13.5
16 Diamonds & Pearls US No.3 Uk No.25 Average 14
17 Take Me With U US No.25 Uk No.7 Average 16
18 I Hate U US No.12 Uk No.20 Average 16
19 Partyman US No.18 Uk No.14 Average 16
20 7 US No.7 Uk No.27 Average 17

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