Not to mix up the charts but here in the U.S. Prince now has the total Top 10 singles and Top 10 albums on iTunes!

 

Hope streaming does not pull him back too much in the UK but I think exposure will be strong all week due to the sudden news.

"Purple Rain" should get to #1 on iTunes - the main version is at 0.7552 of Drake and combined is at 0.9693. I expect there'll be news coverage once again on the morning news programs which should it a boost.

'When Doves Cry' #7, #23, #53 & #89 :heart:

 

1302 Cheat Codes & Kris Kross Amsterdam - Sex

 

if purple rain could finally get #1 i would die a happy man

Katy B is not a GRAT, her entire album is out now on iTunes.

 

If only Ruth Lorenzo had released 'Purple Rain' on Itunes she finally could have got that top 100 smash.

 

 

Ruth Lorenzo done a brilliant purple rain performance and she should have released it.

Any reason why Prince's version of "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" is unavailable to buy?

I think he wrote it about his then wife Mayte and struck a deal with Warners to release it independently and I think after they split he refused to give the rights to allow it to appear on compilations, greatest hits collections etc., - Shame it's not available as I'm sure it would have been a constant trickle seller over the years and would have obviously benefited greatly now.

Purple rain now @1 combined

:heart:

Sex comin for top 40 this week unless it flops hugely :w00t:

latest kworb update:

 

1.0000 Purple Rain

0.9559 One Dance

0.5423 Cheap Thrills

0.5375 When Doves Cry

0.3553 Kiss

407 Kygo I'm in Love (feat. James Vincent McMorrow)

 

cannot see Cheat Codes in the top 1500, but I think it was there early this morning

367. Kygo - I'm in Love (feat. James Vincent McMorrow)

849. Cheat Codes & Kris Kross Amsterdam - Sex

 

Looks like Raspberry Beret and Kiss will enter the top 10 soon. I really hope Prince's label put his music on Spotify so that he can chart. But he seemed quite against it, so probably not.
