3121 (Reveals)1. SHOOTER 2. tim 3. newpower 4. Ling-Ling 5. samo🦕 6. Zach 7. Linnethia Monique 8. @antigonerising 9. Kanenrá:ke 10. Mirago 11. CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker 12. LBTrocks 13. Glove Slap 14. .indulgecountry 15. Sir Benji Prince had long had an affinity for certain numbers and numerical patterns, and in the mid-2000s, the numbers 3121 had begun to take on a special meaning.
At that time, Prince was renting a home in Los Angeles that he referred to as 3121 and it was the site of many parties and recording sessions. 3121 was also the title of Prince’s 31st album, which was released on March 21, 2006 in a unique one-album deal between his own NPG Records and Universal Music.
The lyrics of the title track speak to the party atmosphere Prince was cultivating at his 3121 house: “Through the gates / Knock on the door / Put your clothes in a pile, on the floor / Take your pick from the Japanese robes and sandals / Drink champagne from a glass, with chocolate handles.”
The album included collaborations with bandmates from the past and future of Prince’s career. Drummer Michael Bland and bassist Sonny Thompson, two of the original members of Prince’s New Power Generation, were tapped to perform on the title track, and the album marked the first time that Prince recorded with husband and wife duo Joshua and Cora Coleman (a.k.a. C.C.) Dunham, who would perform in Prince’s rhythm section for several years. The famed funk saxophonist Maceo Parker and his longtime collaborator Sheila E. also make appearances, as does Támar, an artist Prince would work closely work in the mid-2000s and even join on tour as her guitarist in 2006.
Because it was released on a major label and followed on the heels of 2004’s Musicology, 3121 was widely considered to be part of Prince’s “comeback” in the mainstream music industry. Remarkably, the album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 with 183,000 copies sold - the first and only Prince album to debut at #1; his other three chart-toppers (Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, and Batman) ultimately peaked at #1. Prince promoted the release with several television appearances, including Saturday Night Live, Good Morning America, and a surprise performance on the season finale of American Idol.
The album also received five Grammy nominations total and is Prince's last album to be certified Gold in the U.S. (in addition to going Gold in Switzerland and Silver in the UK).
Hoping to knock out the bottom-6 this evening so feel free to comment on what you think (or hope) will end up in the lower half.

I think 3121 might be in the first set of reveals though I loved how ambitious it was
I HOPE my last place goes in the first set. Only song I didn't really connect with

At 42,000 feet above the sea That's where you and I first came to be From the dust of the earth and the knowledge tree...*LOWEST SD*LBTrocks : 2 newpower : 3 Linnethia Monique : 4 Kanenrá:ke : 4 Ling-Ling : 5 Mirago : 7 Glove Slap : 8 @antigonerising : 9 Zach : 9 tim : 10 Sir Benji : 10 CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker : 11 SHOOTER : 11 samo🦕 : 11 .indulgecountry : 12 Te Amo Corazón was released in December 2005 as the album's first single (although no mention was made of 3121's existence at that time); it replaced a still-unreleased record entitled Streets of Panama on 3121's final configuration. Although it failed to chart in America, even with a music video directed by Salma Hayek, it did crack the top-10 in both Spain and Italy. Swedish jazz singer Viktoria Tolstoy also covered the song on her 2006 album Pictures of Me.

Pretty sure this might be the lowest peak for a proper single in this series yet.

A constant battle to stay ahead of the game Is anybody famous when everybody wants fame? Always trying to break you down thinkin' that it'll raise 'em up I just wanna be happy, come, take this bitter cup from me...CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker : 3 Sir Benji : 3 Mirago : 3 .indulgecountry : 4 Kanenrá:ke : 5 @antigonerising : 6 samo🦕 : 6 Linnethia Monique : 7 newpower : 7 LBTrocks : 10 Ling-Ling : 10 SHOOTER : 10 tim : 11 Zach : 11 Glove Slap : 12 Beautiful, Loved and Blessed, featuring one-time Prince protégé Támar (Davis), was initially released as the B-side to Black Sweat and earned enough unsolicited airplay to peak at #25 on the Adult R&B chart. It also earned the duo a 2007 Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group (losing to John Legend, Joss Stone and Van Hunt's cover of Family Affair by Sly and the Family Stone). Beautiful, Loved and Blessed was also the title of Támar's debut album, executive produced by Prince, that he originally wanted to release in tandem with 3121 in March 2016. The album was then re-titled as Milk & Honey and pushed to summer 2016 before being shelved altogether. It's been speculated that Prince's divorce and refusal to do all of the agreed-upon promotion for the album complicated his relationship with Universal who shelved Támar in retaliation. She revealed in a recent interview that she requested the rights to it from Prince's estate so she can re-release it on her own but they denied her.

Look over there, there's another turn-on Butterflies scared that they're going to be awake all night long Dancing in your belly like a ballerina In spite of your efforts to calm them down...Mirago : 2 Zach : 2 tim : 3 Glove Slap : 5 SHOOTER : 5 Ling-Ling : 7 Sir Benji : 7samo🦕 : 8 Linnethia Monique : 9 LBTrocks : 9 newpower : 9 CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker : 9 .indulgecountry : 9 Kanenrá:ke : 11 @antigonerising : 12 3121, titled after an L.A. mansion Prince was renting and inspired by his legendary house parties, was one of the album's oldest songs, recorded in fall 2004. His drummer, Michael B., confirmed it was part of a batch of approximately a dozen songs they recorded within a 3-hour session. The song earned a 2007 Grammy nomination for Best Urban/Alternative Performance (losing to Gnarls Barkley's Crazy).

I adored this album only “The Word” didn’t work for me everything else was stellar! I’ve long loved the artwork and that alone made me want to listen to the album, after hearing it I wish I had listened a lot sooner! My top 6 all were added to my favorite songs playlist!
