The most radio-friendly song on the album. Not sure about urban potential, but I hope they give this one a shot at pop.

This was the UK single, so the label is half-assing this release here to begin with. Secondly, like you said, there's no way Urban is going to touch this. They didn't even really play "Call My Name" all that much. I didn't think that song was all that good anyway. I expect more from Prince than rehash. So Urban AC is Prince's only hope for airplay, and there's no way they'll play this. "Cinnamon Girl" would only be pop friendly if this was 1985. |

this won't get much UAC play at all, but it seems to me like it could get some of the rock-type formats, no?
can MTV2 play this video? if so, i see them playing it a ton.

Yeah, the only place I can see this getting play is Triple A and Hot AC. I could see it getting to around #19 or so at Triple A. Hot AC is another story though because it's a lot more pop influenced. I'm pretty sure if MTV banned it, it's banned from all of their channels. If Viacom banned it, then he's totally screwed because it won't get VH1 play or BET play either. Fuse could play it though, but I don't think it's really their style of music even if the video looks like the typical Fuse hit. |

This is better than his recent singles posted here.

It's not like they were playing the hell out of the "Call My Name" or "Musicology" videos anyway. I saw them occasionally, but that's about it. He doesn't have much to lose.
Hopefully he'll get some Grammy attention to go along with this single. I want this to succeed so they can move to a 4th single of "A Million Days" or "What Do You Want Me 2 Do".

I'll give you the controversial part of the vid:
There is a Muslim girl in it....towards the end of the video there is a scene where she's in an airport and she opens her bag to reveal a red button. She presses it and there is an explosion.
I like the vid by the way.

This song has no Urban airplay to date and almost 200 spins at Triple A, so I'm going to move it to that forum.

He's going for CHR-Pop adds after not having made the CHR-Pop chart since early 1997.

This is doing nothing. Even though this is a better song, they probably would have been better off spending the money on sending "On The Couch" to Urban AC.

What a shame. This should have been a hit on pop, it's a great song. Too bad PDs have to get ideas stuck in their head and hold on to them like they do. Prince is likely getting hurt by some of his more recent releases.
